I truly don't know why he isn't one of the biggest stars. Every album is different, he can do every style, some of the greatest bars and fucking great live.

I know famously future uses the name Pluto and then there’s lucki with Tune/Neptune or lil uzi with baby Pluto. Is there anyone else that uses a planet nickname? Will we be able to create a solar system?

Joe Budden podcast named “Nothin” by Nore as the his fav Pharrell / Neptunes song. Had me going down the rabbit hole to find the best… come to find out there is no best, they have songs that sound so diff from all eras. As a super fan i came across songs I don’t think people know exist or have forgotten. Definitely worth a listen and yea Rah J got Neptune bangers!

[HOT TAKE] I Relistened to Marshal Mathers LP years later... It's extremely corny, bad, and overrated.

0 Upvotes

I love Eminem and for what he did for me. Picture this: I was a teenager who got dumped, I am neurodivergent and was insecure of not being "normal" enough, I had no confidence, I listen to modern rap (Drake at the time) and on my recommended is this Eminem interview. Intrigued I start listening to old Eminem and I was HOOOKED. Eminem made me love myself. Marshal Mathers LP helped me get back on my two feet, and BECAUSE I was a dumb teenager I had developed this "degenerate, I hate everyone" phase which was partially fostered by Eminem's music and my break-up. Looking back, I am honestly embarrassed by this, but I matured and actually learned a lot from that experience. All in all, Eminem did more good than bad for me.

Fast forward to now: Catastrophic events happened in life which has made me consider Eminem's music once again for confidence. I relistened to MMLP, and MANNN this is corny. Eminem is this white boy who wants to kill his mom, and I am supposed to jam to this? I mean know his background, but that doesn't excuse this behavior. I urked when I first heard Eminem, but I looked pasted it since the energy was cut-throat. The same doesn't work on adult me.

My first time listening to MMLP changed me (for the good and bad). It was one of the few rap albums that got me shook, but once that first experience fades, you realize it is just mid. The "killing mom", "I am a killer", "haha I am slim shady" persona just makes this album bad. Like the rhyming, flow, cadence, instrumental, it's all there. It's just the lyrics that make me want to urk and laugh. MMLP is NOT a good album. It's far from it really. Eminem is just so corny whenever he puts on slim shady. MMLP2, The Eminem Show, and Encore (SOME songs from there), is the Eminem that NEEDS to be appreciated even though the community hates it. Kamikaze was corny, Slim Shady LP is too, legit Eminem is the most bipolar rapper to ever exist. He is talented, he has hits, but most of the time he poops out dookie.

I vividly remember listening to Eminem's Music to be murdered by deluxe version. I was listening to this Live, midnight, on YouTube, with the comment section open. We were all hype about this release (Looking back I was probably the only brown teenager there). As the music continued to play, the comments slowed down, the disappointment was loud. I am convinced the Stan's don't like his music; they just want to remise the good old times like corn balls. I stopped listening to Eminem and picked up Duwap Kaine.

The Duwap Kaine phase was as bad as the Eminem phase, but I at least pulled MAD amounts thanks to his music. The Confidence and stupidity of Duwap made me let go, it was the Yin to the Yang of Eminem. Nevertheless, Eminem Stans, thoughts on my takes?
