As a one time fan of Eminem(relapse did it for me, never once touched anything after that) when you really dissect his style, his lyrics, I mean dating back to the slim shady LP, dude is one giant gimmick. You’re lying to yourself if you think otherwise. Yea his vocabulary is vast, but after listening to an eminem song, the dude never really said anything. Yea yea, apologists(majority white boys) gonna say its just music, and it is, but 95% of his catalog is trash. Lose Yourself, Sorry Momma(forgot the name) the curtain call hits song he did for Haily, he has just a handful of actual meaningful songs. Slim Shady LP has relatable content throughout, and Infinite does to. After that, downhill. Man, to his collabs on Xzibits Restless, Dre’s 2001, 50’s GRODT, to Games documentary, even Jay’s Renegade track, dude is just spitting nonsense, yes it rhymes, it sounds good, but it’s trash. D12 World, Devil’s Night, those albums were almost all filler, one or two songs were real. I forgot Obie’s albums, cheers, second rounds, Obie’s coming off nice, then em’s gimmicky ass comes in. He’s so gimmicky, how can he be the biggest influence to Hopsin, now everybody KNOWS Hopsins fans are white boys, suburban to be exact, everyone else knows how much of an emo faggot that dude is. Again he just spits stupid shit, garbage. Look at this example to see how easy it is to emulate these dudes, “I went to my room to jerk to rhyno porn, hunny I’m home, took some percs, seen some ass I’m trying to bone” this retarded shit here exites a certain crowd(the aforementioned) shit is stupid. Only reason Eminem is where he is, the obvious, white, and because nobody did gimmick rap like that when he came up, and Dre’s co-sign helped him too.
Get at me haters. Westside 4 Life, only strictly 90’s West coast jams on mine!
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? Em is pretty much the only mainstream artist left that actually puts passion and real life personal shit in his music on top of being the most technically impressive. You just typed a whole paragraph saying nothing remotely true. Kill yourself.
Cosign to the fullest nd the stans are gonna come out the wood work b/c everything u said was the truth. Dude been a gimmick for the longest, yeah he’s one of the most technically skilled, but he’s been relying on that for a minute now simply b/c he’s ran out of things to rap about. Slow him down nd actually pay attention, dude ain’t saying a damn thing, outside of trying to shock u or being witty. But time just repeats itself, this happened 50yrs ago with that Elvis cat, today most black kids don’t even know Rock n Roll was black music, matter of fact they used to call it jungle nd devil music to be exact
Have you even listened to the album or are you forming your opinion based on radio singles? There is as much substance in mmlp2 as any album in recent memory. You really should listen to an album before commenting on it. It’s not a black and white thing… It’s a hip hop thing.
Wow, what a surprise in that jerk circle.
Wow they re all white??? Can we stop use that sms bullshit to vote? Instead lets use legends, dey know real music, fucking rednecks dnt know shit “hes white ill vote for him” they dnt even listen to rap!! Btw mmlp2 was fucking trash
Hey Guys,

Ive set up this page http://igg.me/p/793199/x/7566897 for my partner who had a brain aneurism just over 4 years ago and hopefully i will be able to use the money to make her more independent and she can leave the house without someone having to be there.
If you can please donate but if you can’t please share this in as many places as possible and it would mean alot to me. thanks.

lol at all the black kids getting butt hurt
It’s not that we are getting butt hurt. It’s just disrespectful how the music industry has ruined our culture once again.
None of those artists are the best in there particular category’s.
It’s like if black people were the majority and started giving the country awards to black people all the time. And the rock award to only black people.
Even though they didn’t deserve it.
haha true words. They have butt hurt
now I get it when ppl say hip hop is dead, white ppl killed it. macklemore, eminem? fuck rap.
No one black won anything is one thing but check this out.
Justin timberlake wins best r&b album best r&b artist
Eminem wins best rap album and best rap artist
Macklemore wins best rap song
Robin thicke wins best r&b song
Pitbull only male rapper to perform
Iggy azalea only female rapper to perform
Lol. Funnies shit I’ve seen in alongtime.
Seriously best r&b artist and best rap artist are white?
On the same night.
What is going on in the world?
It happened with rock n roll and now it’s happening with hip hop.
I’m the first to admit theirs a lot of things in history we can blame on white people, this is not one of them!!!
Have any of the black people on this site been to a performance with
MOS DEf
NAS
the roots
common
talib kweli
dead prez
kendrick
j cole
if the answer is yes you will notice that the crowd is 70 percent white they buy most of the real hiphop music!! where the fuck you think they coined the word backpacker.
black people and white trash buy
lil boosie( for some reason this was a event that he got out of jail?!?)
gucci mane
young jeezy
rick Ross\
dipset
black people do not support conscious hip hop all they support is materialism but yet they don’t buy music.
listen to urban radio and you will hear the trash they play and black people support that shit. love&hiphop ATL.SMH
if you want credit for your ignorant ratchet music go watch the BET Awards Billboards not checking for you.
big mike your argument is stupid as fuck don’t try and defend your preference as being the right kind of music, all you do is state a list of conscious rappers which doesn’t make any sense cause hip hop is too diverse to point out a few artists that don’t fill up stadiums to stress your point, why not mention other black artists who do pack up shows….Im not happy with some of the results either but if you did your research you would know that billboard awards are based on sales that’s why brining up race sounds dumb as fuck
by the way mackelmore was the only hiphop act the officially sold out every stadium but these are the only rapper that can pack stadiums so what diversity are you talking about.lol
1.jay-z Im a big jay z fan but he didnt sell more than kendrick maybe because of samsung
2.kanye didnt sell more that j. cole
3.drake
Im not making it about race dude i agree im answering all the other people that made it about race on this site.
Not many hiphop acts can fill stadiums in the US wants your point. i sound stupid
you live in the united states its always about race. wake up!!
you are on some kumbaya we are all diverse shit get the fuck outta here dude.

Guess hip-hop is just as dead as rock n roll.
Billboard awards???? more like the white awards …. Whites allways get recognize have bigger fan bases simply because they are white its a fact.
its a white mans world you nigs get used to it. The white man controlls the government. The white man gives you nigs jobs and welfare checks. The richest people in the world are mostly white. Most black guys aint settling with black women but rather praise and settle with white women. White women are reveered as godesses compared to these rachet black hoes. I could go on and on but you nigs know that its a white mans world.
