Yeah, but it's HOW he says it. You must be completely ignorant of hip-hop if you can't admit he's got skills....So what if he's behind bodyguards! He's an MC, not a boxer.....Come to think of it, almost all of hip-hop is about braggin' or talkin' shit...Oh, and the "when you're making millions from it" shit is stupid...So he's gotta be poor to earn respect? He can't be successful? The guy had a hard life, but worked hard on his skills to get where he is....My DJ friend had advance copies of Em's first album, but there was no picture of him on the cover....So many MC's thought he was so good he had to be black. I've played drums in over 600 hip-hop shows for the last 7 years, so I'm no stranger to good hip-hop...You don't have to like him, but if you can't tell that he's better than good, then you're a fool.....

This guy is a real genuis with rhymes. Like Dre said, he is able to make words that doesn't rhyme rhyme. I'm actully ready Eminem The Dark Side by Nick Hasted and it makes me appreciate Eminem even more and he's not really what he says in is songs.

They say Eminem is a racist now because he made some song in '93 about "black women". He's not denying he said it either but he said it was aimed at his "black girlfriend" that he had just broken up with.

Still, you need to watch your mouth no matter what happens and some things just shouldn't be said to the public.

Are you sure that he had a black girlfriend before 93 because he was with kim since the age of 15

While often accused of being sexist and homophobic, Eminem's managed to avoid being branded a racist - until now.

The owners of hip hop magazine "The Source" say Eminem repeatedly raps that he doesn't like black women - and uses racist slurs - in a recording they've dug up from 1993.

Eminem doesn't deny it's him on the tape... but says that he made the recordings out of anger after breaking up with his African-American girlfriend.

He probably wasn't going out with her at the time but that's when he made the song.

this seems kinda silly to me. PLENTY of other rapers are blatantly sexist and homophobic. not that I condone it. but why are we only busting Eminem about it and ignoring others? If he writes degrogatory lines about black women he will certainly not be the first rapper to do it. The problem existed before he came along. (sadly)

The only eason we are only talking about Eminem is because this is an Eminem thread! That and everyone thinks the sun shines out of his arse....tall poppy sindrome I guess...
