I might listen to mm2

I think it is underrated, its a good listen. And because its not going for the shock factor like his early records nearly as often it might be the easiest one to go back to.

It’s reflective in a different way to the raw anger of MM. Great beats too. The song about his mum gives me proper feels in contrast to Cleaning Out My Closet.

He got stuck in that staccato flow though which I really do not like at all when its not appropriate and he used it in every track for a while.

1/5. Always fucking hated him. Peurile shite for wallopers. Would have voted 0 if possible, then taken points off because he was also used to foist 50 fucking Cent’s mumbling on us.

Eminem was the first ‘alternative’ artist I got into, alongside Slipknot, and I used to play MMLP at top volume in the spare room. Goodness knows what my parents thought but hey they never stopped me. He’s an incredible spitter but as aforementioned listening to it now it grates for a lot of reasons.

Didn’t know he was a good rapper, pretty disappointing to think that he is the best rap can do :frowning:

I think I’ve said here before but I think the generation I grew up in is literally the rock bottom for culture in terms of “parents being concerned about what their kids are into”

I grew up with Eminem, South Park, Nu-Metal and Attitude Era WWE. I honestly think it’s fair to say that my generation won’t have that parental worry because of how God damn awful our culture was in terms of acceptability.

I’ve heard his big songs and it just seems like a guy talking really fast. I reckon those auction house guys in america are faster though

I never cared for t’old Marshall. I remember as a Kerrang! reading kid he was pushed as one the rappers it was ok for metal kids to like and I was all, “nah, I’m alright cheers.” I listened to a lot of shite back then but in retrospect I wouldn’t trade any of it in for Eminem’s oh-so-shocking shtick.

Giving him a 2 purely because I owe him a point/pint for the volume of Forgot About Dre puns I’ve made over the years.

#135

are you saying everything we grew up with was bad?

#136

Who do you think the most technically skilled/best rapper of all time is Ant? Not a leading question, just value your opinion on these matters.

#137

Diminishing returns but hard to give him less than 3.5 for the first couple of records alone, go with a 4 to be safe

Still remember the first time i heard Forgot about Dre (must’ve been on totp) and thinking it was the coolest thing I’d ever heard

would rather be worried about my kids watching Jackass than about my kids trying to be multi-format social media entrepreneurs in their early teens
