lyrically & substance wise, that song is miles ahead of 95% of Hip Hop singles.

the only poppy-ish part to it was the hook, which was catchy; but it's a single, it almost has to be catchy for appeal.

Please, learn to read and stop assuming.  I didn't say they did not dictate what's the single.  I stated they tend not to play with the schedule, release dates for Eminem.  They're more or less on point, within a week.

I'm tired of people acting like Jimmy Iovine is fuckin shit up over at Interscope.  He has done anything but help facilitate some of the greatest and groundbreaking music from all of our favorite artists here at the forum.  I should start a separate thread for this, but I really don't see why there is all the hate.

Please just stop hurting yourself by all the reaching you're doing in trying to compare these cats to Eminem. Only one who can hang based on catalog is Ice Cube.

I don't get it .. how this "Ancient Chinese Secret" aka "Get Your Walk On" is on every Eminem related thread if he obviously doesn't like his music.

Another thing I can't undertand that how is he a mod? Dude is one of the worst posters here & only about 50% of his posts make sense.

Just asking, if it's not allowed, someone ban me please.

I know, he's not really hating. I was kinda tired when I posted that so I was probably overreacting. but still.. his posts are weird. And he argues with people more than any other mod here.

minus a few songs off Relapse, a majority of his lyrical content was as bad as that.

i expect better than that out of him, maybe not on the single, but on the album.

Not Afraid doesn't sound like something he's going to be silly on, but at the same time, i can't see it being dark if it's a single & stuff.

his first two LPs are what makes him Top Five Dead or Alive to me.

for me it goes MMLP = SSLP > The Eminem Show >>> Encore = Relapse.

i'd like to be REALLY optimistic & hope Recovery is in between TES & Encore.

Infinite is fucking awesome too. 8)

I understand the historical importance and the cultural impact they had.  I also understand that they're, for the most part, better produced albums but both Eminem Show & Encore feel truer to revealing Eminem as a more complex MC.  In fact, I completely understand why people have issues with the production on Encore which by the time it was released felt dated or more of the same.  I just like Eminem exploring what it means to be an artist and more or less admitting he doesn't know what to do.  It's incredibly fresh and honest.

That span between Eminem Show & Encore was the climax of his career artistically to date.

Ass like that?  No, I actually don't nor do I really enjoy Lose It but everything else on the album is dope. 

I see that a lot with albums that have lots of cuts.  Another great example is 50's The Massacre which has a 2 or 3 bad joints on it but people say it's trash and highlight 3 songs.  Okay, you highlight 3 songs out of 18?  So, that's 15 dope cuts - Em's first two interscope albums had only 15 cuts.   

I actually don't think Eminem has a "bad" album.  If you compare them, some are better, some are worse but they're all redeemable in some form or fashion.

his best flow tho IMO
The Show Down
Guilty Conscience
forgot about dre

thats some of his best....nowhere near the biggest em fan...and one of the main reasons i listen to him cuz of dre's input and what dre gives him....and showdown is one of my favorites by them....

Post by: Action! on April 27, 2010, 08:46:56 PM
He's so damn nasally on those tracks...eh...

I'd say his best track is lose yourself and if there was one song to remember him by it would be that one.

Run rabbit run is dope

I know I'm the minority, probably one of the few, but Rain Man or I'm Shady is probably my favorite song by him

but showdown is....crazy and alotta credit goes to dre and the production....which is alotta eminems career....lol
but he shouldnt be in noones top 20 of all time

Post by: Action! on April 27, 2010, 08:59:14 PM
can't that be said for nearly any artist?  when do you divide the line between production and the mc carrying the track?  how do you? i'm not denying anything you've said about dre's role, because it's obviously, pivotal and your undeniably right but i do think you're not giving eminem his due credit. 

clearly, his career can no longer be supported by dr.dre.  hence, i guess, we'll find out whether or not eminem can survive without him.  clearly, eminem established he could work by himself and produce material but now we will see how he works with other producers

Who's in your top 20?

Again with you and this God shit. God is either an all-knowing immortal high power or an imaginary character created to brainwash the masses depending on who you ask. It has nothing to do with human beings who happen to rap especially since you are literally the only friggin' person who ever makes the comparison. It's annoying since you're basically trying to discredit another person's argument using hyperbole that you yourself are creating. We had this discussion before with Jay-Z.

Why does this rapper get more credit than Kool G Rap or Big Daddy Kane or KRS One? Because to today's audience, he is seen as more relevant. It's an issue you yourself are stuck on. You seem to have trouble grasping the idea that someone who is credited and acclaimed can actually be good. The thing is Eminem is a genius. I can go back to listen to Marshall Mathers LP and hear what he does on a Dr. Dre beat and I can't imagine anyone coming up with what he did on "Kill You". Musically, it was never one of my favorite songs on that album but going back and examining it, the dude was on something else. Say what you will but that's not a "built-in" song. Dre didn't hand him a finished song with all the pieces and have him write verses around it. This wasn't "California Love" or "Hate It Or Love It". Even putting him up against KRS or Daddy Kane makes me wonder where you're going. Think you could get any more "apples and oranges" than that? I'd argue that of the rappers to emerge on the mainstream from 1998-2005 (post Pac-Biggie), he's got to be at the very least in the top 3 in terms of versality.  

And you think The Rza is a better rapper than Eminem?

Damn, I think Kim Kardashian's a man
She stomped him, just cause he asked to put his hands

Squeeze it and squish it and pass it to a friend
Can he come back as nasty as he can?
Yes he can-can, don't ask me this again
He does not mean to lesbian offend

Dude above sumed it up pretty much all ready but yeah, most hip hop heads wouldnt put Eminem ahead of the names that you mentioned, you need to understand that alot of people all around the world that dont particulary like hip hop love Eminem so your going to get biased opinions(either way/ either side).
 Some refuse to admit Em's talent for more reasons than one. Lots of Eminem fans probably know nothing about Kool g rap or Krs-1 also, especially younger people.
 Then theres also the fact that alot of rappers only appeal to a very limited audience with theyre topic matter, Eminem touches pretty much everything, something for everyone, Kind of like snoop trys too, just much harder and lyrical..
 Ems just so clever with his word play i cant think of anyone as good except Crook and chino xl, raskass, in the way of word play/cleverness/etc um canibus also.

i can't agree with that at all; but to each his own.

his first two LPs are what makes him Top Five Dead or Alive to me.

for me it goes MMLP = SSLP > The Eminem Show >>> Encore = Relapse.

i'd like to be REALLY optimistic & hope Recovery is in between TES & Encore.

Infinite is fucking awesome too. 8)

^^^This pretty much without the what makes him top 5 dead or alive.

The way i see it!..

MMLP = greatest work by eminem easily imo, the best mix between dre and eminem they managed and it reached hiphop audience more than any other eminem album imo AND still got out the mainstream and was a quality album...his only argueable classic IMO

then SSLP and Eminem show on a par i would say...- SSLP is a white boys favourite and its what made him who he is but i cant really vibe to that album past a few joints and i cant think of the last time i even checked it...like its been years and i wouldnt go outta my way to check on it either. Eminem Show depends on how you look at it. Again not for me, album was also a turning point in his career. This was the start of him caring about what his media critics were saying about him and making awards etc an important aspect of his music. Also a darkish rocky vibe to much of the album i dont like and probably distanced himself from alot of niggaz who used to check on eminem with mmlp when eminem show came out. Funny enough its got one of my favourite eminem joints on it though in soldier...and i think eminem showed some maturity on this album and the sounds abit more timeless than say a SSLP but both aint classics for me but i know alot of white kids who would disagree and if y'all like it, dope for y'all...its like a nigga lovin DA...some of y'all just wont get it.

Relapse and encore - both BAD albums...relapse being the better of the two imo...only for the sound being abit more fresh and eminems flow being on point at times without the subject matter etc being decent. Encore didnt go over my head, i dont care if dude wants to talk about algebra on a record or how the world evolves or someshit, if dude aint dropping dope music, its wack...and encore was wack. If action likes it, fair enough on the guy and he admits he is in the minority which he definately is but if someone is saying encore is better than sslp and mmlp, there aint no reasoning with that. You just let dude enjoy his encore shit while i trash it...which to my ears it definately is!

lol@eminem not having released a terrible album...dudes been slippin for too long.

On a side note, eminem would def make my top 20 and loose yourself would be one of his finest moments i agree with.

There's a difference between slipping and actually releasing a bad album.  I'd argue that he hasn't released a bad album but arguably an album inconsistent in form for him due to content or production values but not both for any on e release.  Relapse lacks the content but makes up for it in production and technical flow/rhyme play.   Encore falters on the production side but makes up for it in content.   
Title: Re: Eminem's 1st Single ''Not Afraid" To Premiere This Friday ?
Post by: Dre-Day on April 28, 2010, 07:22:52 AM
minus a few songs off Relapse, a majority of his lyrical content was as bad as that.

i expect better than that out of him, maybe not on the single, but on the album.

Not Afraid doesn't sound like something he's going to be silly on, but at the same time, i can't see it being dark if it's a single & stuff.
i still think it's fucked up that he used an accent on 3 am.

he should remake that song without the accent for the fans. ;D
i would love that :D

i also personally liked Puke & My First Single; but i can see how those might not get the same recognition lol.

you can't hate on the songs i listed; you guys keep focusing on Just Lose It, Ass Like That & it's silly spots & label the whole thing as bad.

is it better than MMLP? fuck no. SSLP? absolutely not. TES? nigga please. but those are two and a half classic albums right there; not exactly easy to top.

Yes, RZA is better than Eminem in some aspects... like producing. As far as rapping goes, he's not even in the top 5 in his own group. Great that people agree with you but the problem is you seem to need that to survive in an argument. You have arguably some of the oddest most left field contributions to a "greatest" list I've ever seen. I'd love to hear how you think Rza is better than Eminem and/or one of the best rappers in the game?

Who can do justice to a song the best? In the case of "Kill You", there is no song without Eminem. All this "straight up lyrical slaughter" stuff is just noise to me at this point because if you're bringing up people who can murder on the microphone and RZA is your counterpoint to fucking Eminem then you're really out of the loop in this conversation.

Yellow Brick Road - solid enough but nothing great at all
Like Toy Soldiers - wack, too rigid
Mosh - fail at political music
Rain Man - No its not one of eminems greatest songs lol
Big Weenie - wack
Spend Some Time - Horrible, idea was nice but a bunch of niggaz spittin on the most rigid beat ever. Terrible, i heard this track dont a millon times better.
Mockingbird - Nice but a played out theme

I wonder if he'll go the pop route like he has done with all his first singles thus far for his albums or has he finally decided to try a new fresh approach and be bold. I know he did it once with loose yourself and that was a major success but that was a soundtrack and he could afford to take a risk on that. But he has always gone the super corny route usually for his first singles with the garbage but this time around, he has a whole bunch of cats he has never worked with before and he seems on some sort of form on the mic so maybe all this is a sign of a new fresh approach?

I personaly hope so, lets just see if its a heater! Not afraid..lol...the title doesnt give anything away haha
