First two rap albums I owned were 50 cent, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and Eminem, 8 Mile Soundtrack.
Man I loved that shit, bumped to it all the time. First explicit rap album my parents allowed me to purchase was the Black Album when it released, I listened to that so much that I can sing almost any song on there without the beats even playing. And I used to bump to DMX “Where Da Hood at,” in 8th grade. That was my shit.

That is in the top three albums every released, ever, IMO, if not the best.
Change Cloths is the only song on that album less than a 9 or 10.

Believe it or not I love that song. I used to listen to the entire album in my room before going to bed. Favorite song on the album is:
I’d have to agree on that being a top 3 favorite album, I’d say the other two for me would be “Wu-tang Forever,” and a toss up between “The Blueprint,” or “Graduation.”

Told you. the only other person I’ve known who can flow like that and make you feel it is Nas (who may just be able to do it a tad better…maybe) when he did One Mic.[/quote]
Fucking love NAS. He’s one of the only artists of which I own every single CD he has put out.[/quote]
Did Jay ever answer ether, or did he just give up, lol.
He kills Jay on Black Republicans, but Jay’s version of My President is Black is better.[/quote]
^Ether is the GOAT diss song, but this was pretty vicious. Apparently Jay, Allen Iverson, and some other have fucked Nas’ babymoms. If Jay had kept going and focusing on Nas’ lack of a strong pimp hand he could have won. But he didn’t [I heard Jay’s mom made him apologize, but that might not be true], and then later admitted he lost [sort of]:
^That was the first time I heard a camel cry.

Well, I think we established a long time ago that you have the musical tastes of someone with no rhythm.
Yeah…that many cds sold over a decade must mean he sucks at all things audio.[/quote]

Eminem bores me. That song with Rhianna is pretty damn trite. Cringe worthy. I think he was good in the beginning, but he’s lost it. I don’t have a problem with style changes, but he hasn’t done it well IMO. Just get tired of his moping and whining. There’s no edge to it. Just comes off as cheesy and uninspired. I don’t blame him for continuing to release music, because that’s his job, that’s who he is, he’s a rapper, and what else is he gonna do all day? But don’t kid yourself that it’s good.[/quote]
The song with Rhianna, ‘The Way You Lie’, is a really good song, because it artfully tells a story about a desperate break-up, followed by a twist ending. The ending really makes the song, because it finishes the quatrain, and then continues without instrumental, creating an atmosphere of suspense, followed by an ironic betrayal of everything that occurs previously in the song (and tie her to the bed and set the house on fire), which also ties in beautifully with the hook. (just gonna stand there and watch me burn/well thats alright because I like the way it hurts).
It’s almost as if he cares enough about his music to make it good. That’s surprisingly rare.[/quote]
Maybe he does care, and even if it was a good story (which it isn’t IMO), the sound itself is a terrible platform. I just think the sound is cheesy. And Rhianna? She’s a terrible vehicle for any lyrics with any kind of depth. She has yet to convince me that she has any kind of soul.
Cinderella Man, Seduction, & No Love=fucking gold.
I have a degree in Music Appreciation and I took an online course on Musical Engineering and have over 50 books on Music in Pop Culture as well as a cool program on my computer than analyzes music and I don’t really like Eminem at all.

And since then I don’t deny the man has talent.[/quote]
That’s by far the worst song he ever wrote.

You imply that there was a point at which the radio DID have a sense of what good music is/was
If you like Eminems new stuff…MUFF YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!
HE DOESNT EVEN RHYME!!! He’s washed up and whining about problems he created, slim shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP wer ALL-TIME classics(the Kobe Bryant of rap)! But the new shit is just pop and an attempt to make more money.
In his genre it all happens so fast that by the time you blink, he’s rapper that WAS, not IS…he’s DONE!

I’m just going to leave this here…I’d really like to hear you describe any one of Lady gaga’s hit songs, seriously…
Eminem is quite possibly the greatest rapper of all time. All that shit about hating women is a joke, he even says it in the fucking songs dumb asses, learn some shit before you run your dick suckers.
Eminem is good, but Atmosphere is better
How can Eminem be a rapper? All he says on his tracks is “Banana-rama Alabama” and “Cinnamin-a-Finnegan”
lol eminems voice is pretty annoying. hes actually very annoying in general, some scrawny ass white boy thinks hes gangster. and now even tho hes a multi millionare he still bitches about his ex wife and stupid ass kid which we’ve all been hearing about for the past decade. surprised he hasnt made a song with Staind yet, two of the biggest whiners in the music industry.
I saw a Zhasni video the other day and saw great lifting scenes played to “Til’ I Collapse” by Eminem. I haven’t heard this song before and I can’t get enough of it now, even though it’s 3 YEARS old.
All I can say is Damn Motivating Song to Lift to.
Here are the lyrics (i’ve kept the relevant lyrics in):
'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
[Verse #1:]
Till I collapse Iâ??m spilling these raps long as you feel em
Till the day that I drop you’ll never say that I’m not killing them
Cause when I am not then I am stop pinning them
And I am not hip-hop and Iâ??m just not Eminem.
Subliminal thoughts when I’m stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hauk venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop.
Amoxacilin is just not real enough.
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners.
Your coming with me, feel it or not youâ??re gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us.
You hear it a lot, lyrics the shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up.
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up you bizzles forgot slizzle does not give a fuck.
[Chorus - NateDogg]
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, canâ??t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I’ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, canâ??t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I’ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
[Verse #2:]
Music is like magic thereâ??s a certain feeling you get when your real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while youâ??re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
Cause I’m at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here’s the order of my list that it’s in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy, so when Iâ??m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That’s why you see me walk around like nothing’s bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect youâ??ve got to give me
The press’s wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.
[Verse #3:]
Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MCâ??s heart
what is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart.
And its absurd how people hang on every word.
Iâ??ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But Iâ??ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
Thatâ??s why Iâ??m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like Iâ??m an addict
I rap like Iâ??m addicted to smack like Iâ??m Kim Mathers.
But I donâ??t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack Iâ??m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
Cause I donâ??t really think that the fact that Iâ??m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.
[Outro:]
[Eminem & Natedogg Echo:]
Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
give out from underneath me
[Eminem:]
I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me.
