I always felt he was a very talented artist brought down by trying to keep mainstream and I'm really not excited for anything he can give us after he released the miserable Encore album. He is insanely overrated, but he doesn't suck.

I don't judge based on record sells, production, gender, or anything of the sort. I judge based on skill. And Eminem has enough skill to take all of them in a rap battle. But, until that really happens, this is only my opinion after all...

Yeah, but that's it. I don't necessarily judge on skill, but rather artistry. An example: If I were like you I'd be a fan of e.g. Celine Dion because, let's face it, she's an incredibly skilled singer, but I'd much rather listen to e.g. PJ Harvey (who's a very creative and talented artist) even though Celine would kick her ass in a technical singing competition.

I'm not saying that Eminem is not a talented rapper and such, but I just don't really like his music that much as e.g. Missy Elliott. What I'm saying is that technical skill isn't necessarily the best argument when it comes to music.

I don't know why everyone prefers his earlier CD's. Those were the ones were he was miserable and saying screw the world and everyone. His later CD's he just makes fun of everyone and everything, and he just doesn't care anymore. I much prefer that to being Emo.

If only he would have simply of become a poet or some such thing instead of a rapper...

Please elaborate. There's nothing wrong with being a rapper, name me one reason why he should of been a poet instead?

Pre-Encore I only liked a handful of his songs.

Cleaning out my Closet, Without me, Stan, and a few others.

I actually found Encore to be the best album he released. Songs like Mosh, Mocking Bird, and some of the others were terrific to me.

Because his music suffers greatly from

ty commerical beats and lame choruses.
