    There's a few rappers that are above being criticized on the IC. Eminem is one of them. Say anything his fans don 't wanna hear and fans will hit the reaction button lol. With Pac it's the same thing.

    Who's buying those albums though? Eminem can spit but he has released wack albums and wack, corny singles that still did well commercially. Go to an Eminem show and you'll see young white kids with their parents. This n*gga is catering to a different demographic and playing on a different set of rules. "I don't like rap but I like Eminem."
    Real heads respect his skillset but ain't f*cking with his music. When is the last time you heard Em's sh*t blasting out of a real n*ggas' system anywhere?

    Imagine a Jay Z or Nas dropping wack singles like Eminem has done in the past. Imagine Jay or Nas crossdressing and rapping about ? their moms and corny sh*t like that. Imagine any credible rapper rapping in corny accents for almost a whole album. For a rapper that talented his discography is weak af (no-sign this post IDGAF).

    Just stating facts. No ammount of smilies, reactions or gifs can change those facts. FYI I think Eminem is skilled. That's why I don't get why his discography is as weak as it is.

    I agree w/ the bolded, but most nigguhs are going to say you are hating or "catching feelings". I'll say this as someone who has all of his albums......I support him because he is a dope lyricist. Not too many people can ? w/ him on a purely lyrical level. However, his subject matter and beat selection leave a lot to be desired. He can come off goofy and corny at times w/ some of the ? he says. But realistically that is because he's being himself. He's not a white rapper trying to act black. He raps about ? that (most of the time) I can't relate to as a black man. That doesn't take away from his overall skill....just means I can't relate to his crazy subject matter. However, dude is a beast when he's not being "over-the-top" OR when he's spitting about a general topic that anyone could relate to. Unfortunately, he doesn't have 1 album that I can pop in and listen to front2back w/o skipping several tracks. Plus he's a white rapper who can actually rap. His sales figures are more indicative of who his core fan base is and less about his overall talent. That's not taking anything away from him, but like you alluded to...what non-white rapper do you know who is guaranteed multi-platinum out the gate w/ as much album filler and "skippers" as Em?
