I'm an emcee myself (what you guys call "rappers") Eminem is very overrated. Sure to people that don't even listen to hip-hop he's something "different" and "original" and special but to a real hip-hop head they know none of those are true. Listen to Masta Ace, Kool Keith, Cage/Necro, etc. and you'll see where all of Eminem's style comes from.

I think Eminem is one of the best rappers because he isn't rappin about how much money he's got and all this shit about bling bling.
He just has a different flow.

Don't let your ignorance of rap confuse you. Do you know how many other rappers fit that exact description? Ever hear of Talib Kweli? Pharoahe Monch? Binary Star? Clokworx? J-Live? etc. All of them don't rap about money or clothes or women and all of them have a different flow you probably aren't used to hearing. This is because they are real emcees...not any of that bullshit sorry excuse for rhymin you see on T.V. If you like it then research the fuckin underground scene. It's full of emcees like that who do it for the art and not for the cash & women. Is Eminem good and talented? Yes....he's better than quite a few you'll hear even out of the real emcee's but not anymore. When he made Infinite he wasn't writin all the bullshit he writes now...like raping his mother, and killing his wife (that shit is WACK period). This is why he's overrated as fuck now. Everyone thinks he's the best rapper ever and none of them know shit. Thats a real slap in the face to all the people who rhyme just as well and better who don't have the right connections to get themselves on. See people tend to judge talent by record sales which don't mean shit. If you really knew how the record industry worked you'd know why they were making millions and others aren't given the time of day.
Asta!!
