Eminem is a puppet of the jevvs.
Probably one of the greatest rappers of all time with the most OVERRATED rapper of today.
GTFOH that Eminem SNL performance was trash. I bet even that Thankgiving album Chance was promoting will be better than anything Eminem releases. Chance is fresh and inspired while Marshall is just old. Time to hang up the Eminem moniker and just be Marshall again. Just be a good dad, not some weak 45+ year old rapper who doesn’t know when to quit. It’s not a good look. Guess what? Your favorite rapper is better as a feature. He went in on that one with Big Sean. Gotta play your lane Em!
So not just in other genres but in today’s culture we accept legends while there still at it. Sports, movies, other music genres but not hip hop? Sit on it and spin. Chance raps about NOTHING.
i dont know why the fans even like this rapper anymore that trump freestyle was the worst thing in eminem history and you guys stop everything your listening to and kiss his ass all over again .. most of you cant even put together his top ten tracks instead all you talk about is stan and how hes the greatest to ever touch the mic .. eminem is the perfect example of whats wrong with the hiphop industry the fact that he couldnt release infinte and had to make up trash content to get famous just proves that hiphop has to be fake to be pop you dont even have to be good any more and intill you stop checking for the lil pumps and other shitty written raps your gonna keep getting tracks like walk on water … its not even hiphop to be that big of a star anyways ….
Infinate was shelved because in those days there weren’t the social media platforms, sound cloud etc and releasing music independently wasn’t as effective as it is today. If by ‘make up trash content’ you’re referring to Slim Shady LP or MMLP you must be the dumbest human being on the planet. Those were BY FAR his best albums. After that he fell off and I stopped listening. Waiting for Stans…*crickets* If you even bothered to watch his performance on SNL last night you witnessed some hot garbage like we all did. His Sirius might be shade45 but 45 year old men do not need to be rapping. It’s too bad he isn’t a better producer so he could fall back on that like Dre did. Just had to correct the record on that dumbass statement.
