is eminem overrated or underrated and why?
Obviously grossly overrated but undeniably talented
From the years of 2001 to 2003 he was genuinely the greatest mainstream rapper by a very long shot
These days he has nothing to say, but has very impressive ways of covering up his lack of anything meaningful to say
Overrated. I'm sorry, if you're incredible for a couple year and then absolute dog shit after that, you're mediocre.

Both, in a radioheadish kinda way. He's not as good as his dickriders want you to believe, but his later albums aren't as bad ad people say. He's got this knack, especially in his later years, of being incredibly talented while making terrible music, it's hard to explain. But if nas can be in the goat conversation based off one album and 20 years of mediocrity, so can em.

Somewhat overrated.
He's good but he had a REALLY bad suck streak from 04 to 11 that most Em' fans will defend anyway.

This. Fucking hate when /mu/ shits on Eminem but then puts Illmatic in their top 50. Hypocrites.

/mu/ is the truth
is that pic ironic? him not saying nigga isn't an achievement. he just can't do that cause he is white (i mean, he can do it, he would just lose a shitload of public)

ofc
Yeah his early 00 stuff was funny. Although as I get older I don't really enjoy the straight up rap stuff. It's too bad there aren't more groups like PUTS
he said the n word on Infinite afaik but I don't agree that it really fucking matters.
