Why All The Hate on Eminem?

[makosheva7]

I'll say RIGHT NOW that Eminem these days, hell since Encore lost the greatness and got too pop.

But from 1999 - 2004 (at least) you GOTTA give Eminem the respect he's due. No other rapper could touch him lyrically or flow wise.

Why do devoted hip hop listeners (no not the people who just listen to Eminem) put him in a negative light? I mean Eminem skill wise would put any rapper today to sleep (maybe not Kendrick).

Because Eminem sucks.

I didn't really care for him before but now I think he's awesome. Which means I can sort of understand why people don't like him.

I'm gonna take a shot and say a lot of them might not like the fact that he's white though, lol.

Because Eminem sucks.

Hipster opinion is invalid.

 

[Tsukukami]

He awesome just overwanked

Haha I definitely thought the same thing. You're brave for even mentioning it.

you can't ask why we hate him then site a specific time period where he can't be hated....he turned into an egotistical douche! Granted hes much better now but still. He attitude towards women is what really irks people but thats what happens when you pair daddy issues with a poor mother figure. Hes much better but he'll have to do some major charity work to undo the image he has ingrained in our minds.

Cause he doesn't like fried chicken and watermelon

I'm pretty sure the dark subject matter of his raps was his main appeal in his prime. Never heard any hip hop listener that had a problem with his subject matter.

Hip Hop has changed. Eminem is a washed up Rapper.

Changed in what way? You mean crap like OTF?

They didn't understand his music. It was very dark and disgusting. He is the reason why I don't eat onions-rings.

Some of their music. >.> But yeah. u_u

You asked why people hate him correct? If we are critically thinking and I hope we are we can honestly say that not everyone in the world is a Hip hop listener as you put it. Most people who appreciate other music and the older generations have a problem with his subject matter.

His thread was targeted to people who listen to hip hop.

I don't think anyone hated him in his prime, was a monster back then with Dre, 50 and D12. they just hate him now because he's acting like a drama queen.

So it's safe to say changing for the worse.

 

[Forest]

Em was a monster, and is a legend. that's fact for sure

Saying no one can touch him lyrically from that time period is opinion though.

 

[A$AP Wap]

Eminem is the Itachi of Rap
that's why he gets so much hate
