Em is an amazing rapper. He had the hype like no one I've seen (obviously a large part was him being white).
BUT
His songs never meant anything to me. Fantasizing about killing his wife and torturing his mom. Being hated and being a menace to conservative parents (on his first album though
?) Waging war with pop stars.
I have these lines running through my mind every other day or two and they mean something that applies to life.
Nas - If I ruled the world I'd free all my sons
BIG - Birthdays was the worst days / now we sip champagne when we thirsty
Jay - Blindfolded, expected to walk a straight line / Mind molded, taught to love you and hate mine
Pac - Dear Mama, Tryin to make a dollar out of 15 cents, Keep your head up, etc, etc
Scarface - Can't talk to my mother so I talk to my diary
Andre 3000 - She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate?
Wu-Tang - CREAM
Snoop - Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice
NWA - fukk tha Police
Dre - Nuthin But a G Thang
DJ Quik - If it don't make dollarz it dont make sense
I ain't hatin' on Em but dude is severely overrated. And if you ask me would I PERSONALLY put those artists above Em? Yeah, I would because to this day I'll still play those classics. I ain't listened to an Eminem album in years and none of his off the wall lyrics pop in my head.

You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm"
I'm like, "Why? "
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
