Fukk all these old dusty rap c00ns worshipping Cacinem. Imagine old black blues artists calling Elvis the GOAT. Fukk outta here:pacspit:

Little Richard stood on the fact that he was the innovator of the genre and should be considered the GOAT in a sense and still gave it up. The notion that black fans or his black contemporaries hated Elvis is revisionist. Some people just recognized the okie-doke and politics.

Problem is the whole term has been fukked up

It supposed to be GREATEST but now we use it to define greats.

So I look at this as the DOC saying he's ONE of the best to ever do it.

A few years ago he had Rakim as his number one


Ah, Aftermath/Interscope sending out the memos

I’m talking about what I see over the Internet everywhere not just here
I think it's evened out recently. The Revival era is when the social media group think started turning on him. But nowadays he's pretty celebrated. Yes he's hated on but anyone as big as him will be. Hell Taylor Swift was getting shytted on Sunday on social.

"recent"?
This board has hated Em since its inception lol
people who call criticism hate are retarded

hate is what was contained in those racist tapes

don't play around over here before you get carried out like trash with your feelings. you are not about invalidate a discussion of rap by calling people haters who can summarize how Marshal is rated purely based on perception of his abilities not his actual achievements. Em fell off rap great and top lists naturally as his career panned out and it became apparent he would never live up to the hype. you have been defending him relentlessly since you been a poster on this forum. there are rap fans then there are Eminem fans. like Eminem is a genre to some of you guys. If you listen to rap you know his discog is not there for any GOAT discussion. Em is rated based on potential still but this isn't 1998 anymore. He had a lifetime to show and prove and he made more duds than classics. the people you trying to side step to say Eminem is hated on for not being in the discussion have undisputed genre defining classics in less years than decades. people like you are not objective rap fans you are Eminem cultists. I could pull up threads about that guy for years on here and it would be the same die hard stans pretending criticism is hate. get over it. Neither him nor his fans have accepted his new perception. As a good rapper but not a GOAT or often even top 5. classics are the trophies in this game. not album sales. He ain't got the rings to be in the discussion.

Eminem is fire tbh. Not top 10 for me. But definitely top 20 and he'd be the only white rapper to make it on that list for me.

When people say this, I often wonder, have they really listened to all of horrible the albums Eminem has released since 2004?

Like nikkas really working out or riding around and listening to albums like Encore, Relapse, Recovery, MMLP2, Revival, and all them other albums too? :russ:

And even then, his “prime” music has aged like spoiled milk. shyt is garbage

I don’t consider Eminem the GOAT but am endlessly fascinated how random Joes somehow feel their opinion obviously trumps those of actual hip-hop icons and legends like “nah he’s wrong, look at my avi”
some of "the random joes" listen to hiphop more than hiphop legends.
