>I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that christmas I sat up the whole night crying
>And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
Why can't literally any other rapper write lyrics like this?
If I do sign with a major, I'll be writing the contract.
John Hughes
>Why can't literally any other rapper write lyrics like this? Slug, Eyedea, Kanye, Aesop Rock, Mos Def, Schoolboy Q, Denzel Curry, Milo and Watsky, just to name a few. Eminem is a GOAT rapper but saying that he's the only one that can effectively rap about emotional shit just shows that you haven't ventured out beyond the kitty pool of rap.
Jayden Clark
kids don't listen to eminem, he isn't cool and hasn't been for years.
in fact it's more likely that underage will go along with agreeing that he's a bad artist without actually ever having been around for when the world was losing their shit over his albums
if you can't enjoy dumb shit like Role Model i dunno what to tell ya
Angel Wood
It's fucking weird. Back when I used to work as a waiter when I was 23, pretty much everyone in the restaurant was a druggie/stoner, including me. Whenever I would chill with the teenagers and early-20's (mostly white and waiters) after work, they'd always give me shit and ask me to change it whenever they'd pass me the aux and I'd put on some early Em. But whenever I hung out with the dishwashers/bussers/cooks (mostly late 20's/early 30's blacks and hispanics that sold drugs to the rest of the staff), they had literally no issue with me putting on some Relapse, SSLP or MMLP.
Eminem is dadrock-tier rap nowadays.
Christopher Davis
Exactly.
I never considered the dude to be the absolute GOAT, lyrically I go to him for entirely different reasons than I go to, say, Billy Woods or the GZA. His beat selection is bad, and his cultural references aged (naturally).
But fuck if I'm going to act like I don't love to rap along to his silly early shit. His flow from those days is just stupid.
Parker Cox
What about u by Kendrick Lamar. A song about being close to killing himself, insulting and talking to himself in a mirror. The video compliments the feels
Kayden Turner
Kill Whitey Lamar? Nah, not interested.
Sebastian Morales
>rhyming jar with college
Josiah Russell
Infinite is cool from what I remember, granted it sounds east coast as fuck.
Carson Hall
>Kill Whitey Lamar Top kek. You mean the guy who raps about how self destructive the middle/lower class black community is and how blacks need to fix their own shit? I'd tell you to go back to Sup Forums, but they wouldn't want you either: retards like you make SJWs look logical and well composed.
Logan Garcia
They can and do, you're just white so you like Eminem.
Aaron Murphy
>His beat selection is bad I dunno, his shit with Dre was pretty solid. It wasn't 10/10 best beats ever or anything, but the production was good (in a simple, basics-done-right way) and the sound fit the tone of his songs. Outside of Dre though, yeah, I agree. >and his cultural references aged (naturally) Regardless of how badly they aged, a big part of his references was him using them to fit into a certain rhyme scheme. Even if someone doesn't know who "Marty Schottenheimer" is, they can still appreciate how it rhymes with "naughty rotten rhymer".
Evan Green
Eminem raps too black for white kids, especially nowadays.
Eli Gomez
here;s your (you)
Brayden Green
feels contrived and ingenuine desu. Kdot is like a major blockbuster film actor, or even soap opera
Kevin Harris
Nowadays I guess.
Charles Parker
Who and on what song?
Nathan Sanders
Most of his early sound was the Bass Brothers. They were the ones who knew how to make minimalist beats that worked with his dense rapping. After he stopped working with them, his stuff wasn't as good.
I think they were kind of into getting fucked up in the studio, so he had to distance himself from them a bit.
Carter Martin
Bro, I don't know what year you think it is, but that shit is grandaddy rap now.
