Why Eminem continues to be the most overhyped failure in rap music?

A few things.

One. The Roots respect Eminem. They play with him a lot. Also, learn the name of the CD (How I Got Over). It seems like you havent listened to that CD and youre just throwing out the Roots because you heard about how great they are. Listen to them first. And if you do truly listen to them, I respect that, but know that they respect Eminem.

Two. I actually do like a lot of the rappers you threw out there, and I am impressed that you know about them. However, when you then throw out Drake...come on man. Youre basically throwing out the new Lil Wayne. At least make Drake get his own style before we start talking about him being good.

And talking about Kanye struggling to be signed. Bro, once again. Eminem struggled so much to be signed because 1) People didnt give him a shot because hes white, and 2) He says radical stuff my man. He raps about real stuff, that most people wont touch, and communicates it beautifully.

I do agree that he may rap about Kim too much, but man. At least hes rapping about real stuff. Eminem is better than any other mainstream rapper by far. And youre contradicting yourself when you say that you hate that but like No Love. Man, look at the chorus. You probably only like that because its Weezy, and that not cool. Seriously, and if you cant recognize that Eminem is probably the most socially conscientious rapper, then you have not listened to his music much. Look at some of the songs on Encore or the Eminem Show. Those were very socially or politically motivated songs. Thats much better than most people.

And youre talking about Kanye being a self assorbed a##. that just proves you go with the flow media wise. You probably havent even heard Kanye's new music. So please, listen to that and think about how Taylor handled that situation before making fun of Kanye. She handled it worst than him. At least he was drunk.

And I give Recovery 4 out of 5 stars personally. If you think Im white trash whatever, you can listen to your Drake some more eh? Throw out the Roots some more but not know their CD name, come on man. Thats pathetic

That's how the world. It's like food. We all go for processed fatty fast foods made using poor quality ingredients, yet we still eat them. Mainly because it's accessible, 'tasty', addictive and readily available and something quick to consume. But ultimately it's bad for our bodies and our souls. The good food isn't as readily accessible as fast food. A lot of time and effort goes into making good food (and can be expensive).

Also, fast food restaurants exploits merchandising just like pop does and business people see pop/rap/hip hop as gold mines because it's cheap to make, requiring little or no talent and yet people buy it and listen to it.... a lot of business people don't care about whether it's quality products their making or how the consumer benefits from the product. It's all centred around money.

It's all about money.

Yeah and like Jason said - he always says "I just dont give a f--ck"....

over and over - talks all the time about how he doesnt care - then he says he DOES! "I dont hate women" but he does - the only reason he trashes gays too is so people dont assume he is a homosexual mysoginist!

Anyone who loves him and tolerates and defends his hatred of women and gays - explain "Insane" to me then??

How does that song work - is he making light of getting sexually abused by his stepdad or is he ridiculing victims of sexual abuse???

enough said! Totally agree !

ps - Listen to Aussie rappers Hilltop Hoods - they are amazing.

Look up Apathy... His Latest Album is "Wanna Snuggle"

All dope *** white rappers.. Em is the only one "They" want you to see.. but there are more

I agree with you on most points Aaron. I don't know how people say Recovery is his best album, Infinite is the only album that doesn't get annoying after awhile.

Next best white rapper:

I personally feel that Eminem is not over-hyped...its true his content is not the greatest sometimes but since The Eminem Show he was going down hill however he just has that undeniable flow and songs that wheter you like it or not you sing along.

but look on he bright side at least he making rap still relevant to the commercial world.

I guess the white thing hasnt gotten old..

Hey rap about f--king ur stepdad, raping women, murdering gays and ur popular!!!

Maybe Ill try that see how that goes for me!

he is white trash with a thesaurus. pathetic

People don't care about the background. They're just kids. They want whatever everyone else says is 'cool'.

failures don't sell millions of records. failures sit around on the internet and cry about how jealous they are of someone else.

you seriously put some effort into this, didnt you.

you have no life whatsoever,eminem just sold 741,000 in the first week alone.HE DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING F"£% WHAT YOU THINK OF HIM.He has said it many times.
