Eminem is a great rapper, but he is over rated because of a few things. First off, its the fact he was the first white guy, who could accually rap. The life he lived left open another advantage. There are plent yof people who have lived alot worse. Those are my reasons for not liking him...

With words there are few who are better than him. He is an emotional rapper, but if I had to choose. Nas, Dmx, and a couple other rappers are just as emotional if not even more. He has his own style, so im not ganna say anyone is better than him. Or if he is better than anyone...

Y'all can debate this shit all day but EM can write "REAL LIFE" songs and "BULLSHIT MAINSTREAM RAP SHIT", most black rappers write "BULLSHIT MAINSTREAM RAP SHIT", they could never make it outside of the rap charts, Eminem on the other hand can take his music to other audiences. The guy is diversified, and don't you listen to his cd's? he said he doesn't give a fuck about battling, he says its pointless to try to create punchlines he would rather just talk shit on his CD's that sell by the millions.

^ hey thats a good way to never be able to be beaten...not battle.....cause he knows he would get ripped by alot of the rappers out there and then he just sits back and talks shit what a dick....the guy has some lyrical talent but the genre is O SO REPETITIVE i can't give him my props like i can to other rappers its got nothing to do with his skin....or his personality..which is less hardcore than he makes it out to be ...lots of people are crazy and would do it if they were pushed to it.... face it..
