Eminem has already cemented his legacy..

How can people talk as if he never produced sustained greatness?

To produce one classic album is nearly impossible never mind three.

Infinite

The Slim Shady LP

The Marshall Mathers LP

Everything after those albums is icing on the cake.

”Eminem murdered you on your own ****”

Rakim

”Eminem is nasty man, I don’t care what color he is. I don’t care about none of that nahmean? Real artists respect real artist’s man. Especially like a conscious artist that sits down and writes and hears another artist that sits down and does his writing…and he know…a brother nasty. Regardless, you can’t take nothing away from his thoughts and his pen, nahmean? Em is nasty man, I tell people to this day…if Em was black…he’d be the next Muhammad Ali man.”

Like I said in another thread, eminem went from having great potential and a sick flow(infinite ep) to a rapper with a gimmick(sslp) and its been down hill from there. I enjoyed the mmlp, but it got old quick, and since then he just complains and his lyrical ability and flow have declined as well.

When you produce a classic album your potential is realised. How many more classic tracks have come out after his peek?

An Infinite amount.

Not as many as Pac or BIG, or even Nas. He had the potential but then ran with a gimmick and then turned into a celeb. Since sslp, all his albums have been worse and worse, sorry just my opinion, and i was a huge fan of eminem when he came out, but he stopped being an emcee with lyrics, medaphors, well thought out ****, to just complaining about everything with minimal lyrical content.

Who said Eminem is rated over those artist? That gimmick is who he is. Aren't rappers supposed be themselves? The Lyrics and flow has always been there. These tracks show them.

you're exactly right---forget what haters say, or that u following me guy, eminem is the most lyrically gifted mc that has ever blessed a mic, and i'm a black dude----this has nothing to due with race or anything else----nothing to do with the illuminati or anything else----that mother****a is just ill and so conscience as an aritst---it is what it is----he is more gifted than tupac and bigge----he has proven this---it's going to always be subjective when it comes down to it, but i know great artists in music, he is the truth----he is not a gimmick or anything like that----he is his own artist, not what people think of him----or want him to be---he's never been afraid to be himself and i totally respect that about him----which is why he is so respected by legends in the game----

i have never heard an artist come up with sheer brilliance in songs like he has----

lose youself
mosh

sing for the moment
till i collapse
his verses in renegades

hell, even hey lady
don't approach me
rock bottom
love me, off of the 8 mile soundtrack
one day at a time
emulate
stimulate
drop the world verse
no love verse
forever verse

those are only several---i could go on forever---this cat came into hip hop, made a lot of noise, set the bar very high and revolutionized the game like nobody else has ever done, or will ever do-----

for people on here to call him a gimmick is ****in retarted------he isn't mc hammer or vanilla ice---he isn't bubba sparx or asther roth-----there will never be an mc with as much brilliance and versatility as eminem for a very long time and we should cherish his dedication to this game and especially his life story-------he worked his ass off to get to where he is today and we need to appreciate him forever---he is the legend known as eminem and he shuts **** down----kudos to you ecko72jc for being one of the few who appreciates em like he should be appreciated----

to say he fell off, or sold out, or whatever is selfish and ******----he went from being a battle mc to a controversial mc to an mc on drugs, still spitting fire, to a recovering addict who has never lost his feel for the game----**** what people on here think, i don't give 2 ****s about their criticism---\

marshall mathers is the greatest mc of his era, bar none-----he's more than proven that----

[Truth]

im pretty sure most people dont think he made 3 classic albums. I think he made 2 max.

Great rapper though, and great artist. top 10 all time for me.

Most the time he's too emo and depressing for me. But this is my favorite song, ****in insanely sick.
