Rakim changed rap, not Eminem.

hey someone metioned Rakim. props.

I like Eminem...that boy can really rhyme, and the lyrics he comes up with are crazy.

I don't have anything against him, he's ok, I guess. I like some of his shit, but some of it sucks big time! No hard feelings, though.

i hate his music almost as much as i hate him he goes on bout my mum this and my mum that and how he had a hard time growin up aaaarrr poor him !!!

He's really cool, he tried to fight a puppet at the vma's. Man, I wish I could be just like him.

I dislike the character but I admit that he's unique.

yea eminems really different, i like the way he sells his albums, he alwasy uses the same technique; make a video for a catchy silly song then everyones hooked on the new hit and then put out another hit, but the 2nd hit isnt silly, hes serious. like for his first cd "The Slim Shady LP" he released his first hit "Hi, My name is" and after that he realeased his 2nd hit from his 1st album "Guilty Conscience" and thats when i decided to get that cd adn i discovered even better songs like "rock bottom","just dont give a ****", "still dont give a ****". Then from his 2nd album, "The Marshall Mathers LP" he released another silly track "the real slim shady" thena fter that his 2nd and 3rd serious tracks from that album are "stan" and "The way i am", and so i bought that cd too which i discovered some good songs too but not as good as the first album. Then out came "The Eminem Show" which he released the catchy"without me" and soon released the serious hit "superman", i didnt buy this cd but i did get a chance to borrow it from a friend from a while and i once again discovered more great tracks. Oh, theyre was also the D12 album "devils night" which they used Eminems technique and they released the silly "purple pills" then "fight music" but i bought the cd before any tracks were released and this album is a great, definetly on my top 10. While Eminem released "the eminem show" his movie "8 mile" came out and so did the amazing soundtrack which was number 1 for quiet a while. Eminem is a smart guy and he knows what hes doing, he must be making alot of money cause of all his album sales, his movies, and now he signed 50 cent to his label, Shady Records.

He's white and he has talent, that's the difference. With all the Master P, cash money millionaires bullshit that flooded the market, I think Eminem gave rap a real shot in the arm. Bring rap back to the basics of good, clever rhymes.

Your misuseing my quote, Aftermath claimed he changed rap it wasn't a question of his skill. A lot of rappers come out that have talent, Eminem is one of them. So I agree that he is talented but to CHANGE rap?

Eminem brought 50 cent into rap, a Master P like move.
