This dude is on a completely different level than modern day rap, holy fuck! All of his videos have at least a dozen million hits, some exceeding 200 million! I think he was voted best rapper of the 2000's, and has sold more records than any other rapper alive.

I just listened to this song;

..and was wondering your thoughts on this idea.. His songs are completely personal, from Stan, to The Way I Am, to Not Afraid.. he raps about his life and what he's going through with total sincerity that comes off genuine and real. His rhyming ability is next to none, this guy does a good job at breaking down why;

So why do you think he is so successful?

Dre & controversy helped elevate him to what he is today.
His music is/was good enough to keep him where he's at.

He has definitely stood up to the test of time.

Definitely, Dre is a master at recognizing talent! You could dedicate a thread to that guy and his skill alone! Amazing rapper himself!

Stan is another one of Em's song that was fuckin' groundbreaking;

He sold the most albums in that decade therefore the best selling artist of the decade! A rapper to claim that is a hugeee feat! Even though his music has changed soooo much during the last 15 years he is still the most talented lyricist I have heard...Also, his freestyles are just insane.

I just dont like it when people compare him to the likes of LiL Gayne and Drake and shit...He will burn them anytime. All these little 14 year old that know him because of 'Love The Way You Lie' and 'Not Afraid' lol! His old school shit is where its at...

eminem is so dope. you can't deny his lyrical skill. and he may have gotten his fame from being brutal but w/e he has grown up from that ..

I JUST learned of his first debut album the other day entitled 'INFINITE'. Back in 1996.. the guy sounds so young and has diff. subject matter than his Dre stuff.. for the most part..

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), better known by his stage name Eminem (stylized as EMINƎM) and by his alter ego Slim Shady, is an American rapper, record producer, songwriter and actor. Eminem, along with his solo career, is a member of his group D12, and also one half of the hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, with Royce da 5'9". Eminem is one of the world's best-selling music artists and is the best-selling artist of the 2000s. He has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of all time by many magazines, including Rolling Stone magazine which ranked him 82nd on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The same magazine declared him The King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has achieved ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200. He has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including 42 million tracks and 49.1 million albums in the United States.
After releasing his independent debut album Infinite in 1996, Eminem rose to mainstream popularity in 1999 with the release of his major-label debut album The Slim Shady LP. The LP also earned Eminem his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two records The Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show, also won Best Rap Album Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three consecutive LPs. This was followed by another studio release in 2004 titled Encore. Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released his first album in five years titled Relapse, on May 15, 2009. In 2010, Eminem released his seventh studio album Recovery. Recovery was an international success and was named the best selling album of 2010 worldwide, joining The Eminem Show, which was the best seller of 2002. Eminem won Grammy Awards for both Relapse and Recovery, giving him a total of 13 Grammys in his career. Eminem is currently working on his eighth studio album, set to be released in the summer of 2013. It is one of the most anticipated albums of the year.
Eminem has opened other ventures, including his own record label Shady Records with his manager Paul Rosenberg. He also has his own radio channel, Shade 45 on Sirius XM Radio. In 2002, Eminem starred in the hip hop drama film 8 Mile. He won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, becoming the first rap artist ever to win the award. He has also made cameo appearances in The Wash (2001), Funny People (2009) and the television series Entourage.

The dudes music has completely evolved since his debut, the shit he raps about now is so popular because people can relate to it.

I've always liked him. It is undeniable that he is a great lyricist. While I'll agree a lot of his early stuff gained him so much attention just because of how vulgar and how out there he is. There is no question Dre signing him propelled his career exponentially. The guy probably would have made it regardless.

I think he is so successful simply because most of his songs are full of so much emotion. The man isn't afraid to call people out or even speak about his own flaws. Pretty fucking rare really. I mean how many professionals of any trade can be so honest as to tell the whole world how badly he, himself had fucked up in the past?

Anyways, whats up with the edited version pada? Fuck that hahah

heres one of his golden oldies appropriate to this site I think.

enjoy! :joint:

He wouldn't have been shit without dre though. He showed him the direction to focus on in his raps and gave him some real beats. Compare infinite and slim shady. Major difference

Everybody needs a break in the music industry to get anywhere. There is so much talent in the world but only a select lucky few actually make it...Eminem had Dre, Beiber had Usher and so on...

Im pretty over Em but I will never deny his skill on the mic...Its hard for people to come close to him...I just hate when people use his newest shit to show off his skills. In my eyes his newer shit is his worst. Its sort of made to appeal to the masses, which in my eyes equals bad music. Thats why I dont really dig too much mainstream shit...

Perfect example of him showing his way with words...At the end he says "I just did a whole song and I didnt say shit"
