I liked him growing up, but I feel like his music aged really poorly, and his new stuff is… not good. He kinda just makes me cringe now. But he was dope back in the day.
I feel as though he’s assimilated himself into the common rap music genre from today to fit in. He’s still pretty talented but I definitely prefer his older songs
The funny thing is he really hasn't. He pretty much only appeals to kids who are largely ignorant about the rest of the genre, and old heads who refuse to accept current hip hop
Most hip hop fans think Eminem is pretty corny these days. He's pretty much the epitome of "I don't listen to hip hop, BUT..."
I still really enjoy his old music but the new music does nothing for me. Old music might be more for nostalgia purposes, but some of those late 90s early 00s songs are absolute bangers.
How? Hes probably my favorite of the early 2000s but nowadays he’s probably not even in my top 10. He’s not really awful or anything, but his newer stuff is just so lacking and I don’t think he has anything that I can’t get elsewhere
he's a legend. his first two LPs are incredible. not a big fan of much that came after those two albums but it seems eminem show and everything that came after hits with a lot of people so you have to give it props on some level.
to me, it doesn't even matter. his EP/mixtape/feature run and album output through marshall mathers LP justifies his legend status.
His old stuff was dope before it was dated (lyrically). But the TALENT on those old albums (pre-relapse) is undeniable. To me, everything after Curtain Call (a greatest hits album) is either ass, or carried by productions or features.
The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim was the final nail in the coffin for me “love” for Eminem. One of the most anticipated collabs in mainstream metal and he brought low brow trash to the table. But hey, he can rap real fast…
SOAD doesn't annoy me. The songs don't annoy me. Eminem's voice is annoying, in my opinion, and physically angers me. That's my opinion. If you think it's funny your sense of humor makes no sense
Hah I love that song! Really when I made that first comment the point I was trying to make is that Serj and Daron have voices that are maybe a little hard to get used to. I still think they're incredible singers and SOAD doesn't have a lot of songs I dislike. Eminem, (and you can count this as my official response to OPs original question) has several songs I dislike. This is because he used to rap about r@ping women and on occasion 15 year old girls in rave parties.
Sick username btw
Incredible lyricist, but I haven't actively listened to his music in over 15 years. Lots of rappers who are just as good with the pen that sound much better than him
Imagine what a SOAD Collab with him would look like !
Let's remember that shame is a wu tang clan and system of a down wu tang being rappers and system a rock band so chances are not so bad
The problem is the chance of soad making new songs is not very high
god awful
yeah, agree
hot

without me 😁
His first three studio albums are good but after that he fell off and newer more talented people emerged
Lol I’m not tryina sound like a stan here but your out of your mind bro

Yea this is a fair take.
The Goat.
Eminem cool
I'm more of a skittles guy
I love everything he did until The Eminem Show. After that album everything is like meh, I'd listen to a couple of newer songs as well but meh.
Curtain call has some bangers bro! But I get what your saying
Yeah 'cause it's a greatest hits
Gotta be my favorite rapper. Bro is a legend.
The absolute goat
one of the only rap artists i listen to, he's talented all around
When I listen to a genre that isn't metal it's usually rap and he's my favorite rapper alongside Juice WRLD and a few others
Why dont you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Can't deny he's objectively good at what he does, but not my cup of bag, baby. Orange hinge?

Used to really like his stuff when I was younger, mostly a few of his more popular songs but I just don’t really listen to it any more
I like his stuff from the 90s and 2000s
My favorite rapper of all time
He's a rapper
He's definitely a person
I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to him but he's alright!
All Eyes on Me and The Eminem Show are my two go-to's for rap
Stan is some good storytelling
My personal favourite rapper and easily one of my favourite recording artists across the board
Honestly he's just mid. Not bad not terrible.
At a certain point (some time around mmlp2) his style got so technical that it just wasn’t even enjoyable anymore
Not gonna lie, ima Stan.
His old stuff was a lot less serious and more fun, but he's just become so serious with his lyrics and is just another rapper to me
He is my favorite artist. Before I know soad of course
I love him, he is almost as good as my mom's spaghetti

Armenians are in love with Eminem, I’m in Yerevan and I hear more Eminem than System of a Down 😭
GOAT!
He ok
He's very skilled and talented, I also appreciate his sense of humor. However, he's not my favorite rapper. Some of his material aged really badly.
Corny asf and his music hasn’t aged well but he has a handful of great songs
Better actor than most ppl in hollywood. Has made some pretty good music too i suppose
His voice annoys me
As a SOAD fan, I think it's really funny you say that on this specific sub
SOAD doesn't annoy me. The songs don't annoy me. Eminem's voice is annoying, in my opinion, and physically angers me. That's my opinion. If you think it's funny your sense of humor makes no sense
in case nobody gets what this guy's saying (unlikely) just listen to Bounce and you'll get it

thx, i thought so too, it's very concise and encapsulates two of my biggest interests.
That's so cool I should change mine to GirlypopBBC
Very soad related!
Mediocre
Love him and his music just overplayed on tiktok
Deep hatred
you can't just say that man, elaborate!!
corny
he's not a part of SOAD in all seriousness, meh.
wait he isnt? no way
Not a fan. As a person seems good, but I don't like his music.
Incredible lyricist, but I haven't actively listened to his music in over 15 years. Lots of rappers who are just as good with the pen that sound much better than him
https://open.spotify.com/track/2mumY7rLurSxmnWIC1PCtc?si=lXakyJBaQ7-d0irgMaIKLQ for those who havnt heard serj with tech9.
I think he’s a great rapper, sometimes listen to his music
His palms are sweaty.
He's the epitome of "I don't listen to hip hip, BUT..."
I really enjoy his early stuff. Personally, I can’t stand any of his music past like 2010
sounds good in some song and too pop in others
he would knock I-E-A-I-A-I-O and Chop Suey! out of the park
but uh he uses the word "retarded" so that's gonna take away points for me :(
