    Eminem Has One Good Song And That’s Not Afraid….

    But That ” Won’t Back Down ” Song Won’t Last One Month…..

    Everybody Know Eminem Can Rap But He Take It Too Far With It

    He’s A Kinda Rapper That Rap Just Too Rap Because He Know He Can Rap

    Punchline Sometimes Make A Good Song…. Sometime It Hurt As Well

    He Need To Make Songs That Last For Years To Come Not Just Rap Too Rap Because It Won’t Last Long…..

    So That Said

    Kayne West ” Power ” > Eminem ” Not Afraid ” & ” Won’t Back Down

  11. Samy says:

    eminem’s ‘not afraid’ is splendid . The best rapper alive.

  17. Fat Boy says:

    @GTFO. Yea I heard it to

  18. Turbo says:

  19. Drucifer1983 says:

    @ Word!!!

    You tryin to beat people over the head with your opinion to hard man, we get it, we just dont agree with you 🙂

    @ icyjesse

    I know right, thats why Em and Dre dont like people talking about things alot I think, nothing is a sure thing, until its a sure thing

  20. Wow. says:

    @ Word.

    So just because he made a less than good album, he doesn’t get/deserve that title?
    Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac they’ve made shitty, less than good albums.

    So, as someone else said, Eminem – Best Rapper Alive.

  21. j305 says:

    @word ,yo you are talking bad almost in every post about eminem ,if you dont like him y do you keep clicking on each post?

  22. Mega says:

    Imma ride with Eminem not because he’s white but because he cannot be duplicated by any other MC on the planet. Eminem has been in his own lane since Day 1 and I think everyone knows that at the end of the day. The boy grew up hard, can spit hard and is the best selling artist of the DECADE. I give props where they are due, and Eminem has definitely earned his reputation as one of the fiercest lyricists to ever touch a microphone. Hate him or love him, ya boy Eminem is real.

    That being said, I’m not a fan of “Not Afraid” and the new one with Pink is definitely not his best, but not his worst either.

    Kanye’s “Power” is a dope ass song- but cannot be compared to Eminem’s material. That is like comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different flavors.

  23. westcoast Rules says:

    @ Word.

    YOU FUCKING RETARD COMPARING Em to kanye

    50+kanye = same level can’t rap
    EMIN3M = serial killer

  24. jayjay da jetplane says:

    EMINEM & ROYCE DA 59 & KON ARTIS PROD BY ALCHEMIST TOMORROW AT 9 PM

  25. Blueboy says:

    Kanye can’t rap for shit!

  26. K.o.D says:

    WON’T BACK DOWN > POWER > THANK ME LATER

    HATE ME NOW!

  27. Bill Clinton says:

    Won’t Back Down is complete bullshit.
    It’s dope if it’s a freestyle, but he wasted a Pink chorus on a track where he didn’t say shit. What was the fucking point? The song is completely pointless. The new freestyle will probably be better which will more then likely exploit the stupidity in this decision even more.
    I don’t see how that falls under the category of ‘timeless music that you can play over a thousand times’. Are you serious?

  28. K.o.D says:

    ^ DUDE, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS! GO AND LISTEN TO GUCCI MANE AND WAKA FLOCKA! THEY MAKE MUSIC FOR YOU! FAGGOT!

    HATE ME NOW!

  29. EMIN∃M says:

    @ K.o.D

    I’m glad I inspire you but Stan why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan. But Won’t Back Down is not upto the mark man.

  30. Bill Clinton says:

    ^K.o.D.
    I do understand the lyrics cocksucker. It had clever punch lines with other being hit or miss. But it was just despicable in song form. Actually I liked that more. I just though he had the potential to make TIMELESS music with Pink, but instead he rapped about essentially nothing. Just how many punchlines he can fit in a song. You’re kidding yourself if you think you can play this a thousand times and it never get old.

  31. K.o.D says:

    ^ FINE, I AGREE WITH YOU

    HATE ME NOW!

  32. K.o.D says:

    HEY EMIN∃M! THANKS NO! BUT DO YOU WANT TO BE MY PESONAL STAN? LIL BITCH
    AND BILL YOU CAN SUCK MY TIMELESS DICK!

    HATE ME NOW!

  33. Foots says:

    @Mega

    Complete Co Sign, cant compare apples to oranges, two different flavors. Thats gonna be my quote of the day

  34. Markoni says:

    You can’t say Kanye raps better than Eminem.
    Kanye can’t rap that good, but he’s produced some of the timeless shit. He’s something like Dre only Kanye puts himself in more spotlight. Anyway I’m not really satisfied with Eminem’s recent production, I think it could be a lot better.

  39. Bill Clinton says:

    @the gay Bill Clinton

    I see I’ve managed to step on the toes of a butthurt Stan. Sorry if I set my expectations to high, but when someone says they plan on delivering classic music I guess that’s what you set yourself up for.

  40. Lil Ayt says:

  53. JERZZZ says:

    Sittin back laughin at you homo niggas thinking kanye’s power is better then wont back down. The beat on power is dope. The lyrics are garbage. Kanye cant rap. Never could.

  54. Nick says:

    damn it sounds good hearing him rap stan. new songs compared to this seem to be a little forced? just my thought

  55. NICKEY BLACK says:

    i get heated when alot u guys say Em is the best rapper alive. i can sense hidden racism in those statements. when you guys clearly overlook legends that are alive and kickin and the reason why a dude like Em is able to be a rapper now, you are being slightly racist imo. i understand that Em is probaly the dopest white rapper to ever come across in hip hop but i can simply not allow people to give him goat status without acknowledging songs or artist that Em cant fuck wit on some real music shit and battle shit.

    1. METHODMAN- you guys give Em the praise of a lifetime and totally neglect Mef. Mef has punchlines that are timeless. Mef killed it in the BIGGIE duet- THE WHAT, Mef went in on BO2 a dope but slept on album, Mef went in on the new Rae, Ghost and Mef album but slept on. I feel like Em has’nt made anything better than Mef’s BRING DA PAIN yet.

    2. JAY Z- yeah Em had a dope flow on RENEGADE but overall Jay z is a man who has’nt written a rhyme in years for his own albums(proof: see jayz and rick rubin in studio on youtube) Jay has been able to make a stronger catalog of music, the most memorable subliminals in rap history, a constant flow switch up, Jay use to rhyme fast in the early 90’s but tone down but yall give Em credit for fast flows….HA! If your not a Jay fan you still know his hits, Jay maybe the only rapper who’s metaphors get googled just to find out what exactly did he mean.

    3.KOOL G RAP- he is a lyrical gangster but has been spiiting the way Em spits now since 1989 and thats no bullshit. He gets overlook cause music has change but he still is the same nigga who murked THE SYMPHONY “making veterans run for medicine cuz i put out more lights then a fight with con edison” a line from 1989, 21 years ago and still untouched.

    4.RAKIM- his lyrics are still untouchable, the only differnce is Rakim does’nt spit silly cornball violent material. FOLLOW THE LEADER is a single where Rakim went in and dropped some of the most impressive bars ever: Follow me into a solo, get in the flow,
    And you could picture, like a photo,
    Music makes mellow, maintains to make,
    Melodies for MCs, motivates the breaks.
    I’m everlasting; I can go on for days and days,
    With rhyme displays that engrave deep as x-rays.
    I can take a phrase that’s rarely heard,
    Flip it… now it’s a daily word……..

    And this is from 1989. My point is simply stop saying the best alive when truly the best are still living. Jay gets GOAT status simply because he comes from the same era as Rakim, Kane, Kool and others but has remained relevant for 20 years or should i say “IN THE HIP HOP PUBLIC EYE”
    for 20 years, turned 40 and still blessing us fully with good hits, maturity, business moves and has no real reason to stop. Jay has made HIP HOP everlasting like THE ROLLING STONES, GRATEFUL DEAD did for rock n roll.

    Em is a dope rapper but please people we got to respect the legends 1st like other genre’s of music do

  56. Markoni says:

    But NOONE’s had such an impact on the audience as Eminem. Rakim reinvented the lyrics and forever that will be his title, Jay remained on top the longest and also impacted the fashion a lot and along with diddy started this ”rapper-bussinessman” thing.

    But Eminem’s done a lot of things too, which other rapper could have come up with songs such as Stan or Kim. That’s something no other rapper could pull off. He’s also a master of flow, he can do it any way he wants and a master of lyrics cause he can rhyme any two words and it’s make sense.

    Though I won’t say he’s the goat, that’s for these lil kids to argue over. I’m just stating my point of view.

  57. Markoni says:

    *except for Tupac when it comes to impacting the audience.

  58. eminem1 says:

    @NICKEY BLACK

    we see what you saying but it has nuthing with racism
    Em has yet 2 be beat in a duet
    His album always wins album of the year
    He has the best wordplay in the game
    Em has kept the game alife since pac and big died
    He has been the goat since he came in the game
    he the G.O.A.T and pac the 2nd best
    thats just our views if you have div views good for you but your not going to change peoples minds

  59. Toya says:

    Geez. Slaughterhouse still hasn’t signed with Shady.? I would like to know who the other acts he’s looking at are because they would have to be very good at what they do in order for Em and Dre want to look at them.

  60. don chi says:

    The girl with slim is soooooooooooooooo hot

  61. NICKEY BLACK says:

    @ EM1, see thats where our worlds collide cuz i think Jay has been the 1 bringing hip hop where its at now since Pac and Big died. Em has had a better sucessful rap career yes but this may be where racism plays its role, not in a negative way but moreless in a way that more whites than Blacks feel Em music and vice versa. But blacks didnt buy as much or support much due to the fact that my race is separate when it comes to alot of things, some blacks like gospel or rock or rnb or jazz or hip hop. We dont have a broad race of black people that will help Jay sell 2 mil without the help of white consumers. Thats 1 thing when it comes to whites in music, the support system is strong. Its strong in rock, country and it has been proven to be strong in hip hop.

    BTW im not trying to change yours or theirs view but acknowledge that some of the best are still living

  62. NICKEY BLACK says:

    @ Markoni, so dont you figure Em has learned alot from Tupac? You talk about Stan or Kim but if their was’nt no songs from Pac like Brenda got a bay, Keep ya head up, Still i rise, Souljah story, Thugz mansion that their would be no songs like STAN or Kim

  63. Sikhh says:

    WONT BACK DOWN>NOT AFRAID=POWER

  64. Markoni says:

    I know that, even Eminem himself said in a lot of interviews how he was influenced by Rakim, Nas, Pac, Big Dady Kane… etc. What I’m saying is that he’s obviously learned the lesson well and that’s why he was able to make such great songs. But honestly which other rapper could pull out that kind of flow like on Kim.. no other rapper would even dare do that, and if they did they’d fail.

    And when it comes to the goat I’d always say Pac, it’s not about the money, sales or staying relevant for years. Pac had the biggest hearth I’ve ever seen, and I think everyone can feel that in his songs. From those soulfull like Keep Ya head Up, Dear Mama, Brenda’s Got a Baby or Can U Get Away… to straight thug rhymes California Love, All Eyes On Me, Hit Em Up……

    Basicaly Eminem has watched all the greats and learned their craft, took it and mastered it, then came out and stood as one of the greatest., but no he’s not THE greatest ever in my opinion because that requires more than skills, it requires soul and Eminem only showed it when it came to his daughter, so even though it ‘s great that was personal while Pac was the messenger of the people like Bob Marley and others before him.

  65. PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS SHIT.

    IS THERE REALLY A FREESTYLE WITH EM, ROYCE AND PORTER ON A ALCHMIST BEAT.
    IT WAS ON HIS TWITTER BUT I DONT KNOW IF THAT DUDE SERIOUS OR WHAT.

    ANYONE KNOW

  66. imeafk says:

    ok tired of listening: can u listen to this after some years? people dont get upset for a song… theres 16 songs. Besides that this is just your opinion. Who coulda thought without me could be a nice song to listen after years? i listen to it many times. or real slim shady… these are singles and they have comercial purpose… so wtf u talkin bout? 90% of the songs of ur rappers right now dont speak about nothin… and this songs tells exactly this: Em came to show his rap ability…

  67. eminem1 says:

    @’NICKEY BLACK
    i would make this longer but on my way out anyway

    i see what your saying and agree a bit
    but 1st when em retired rap died and jay was puting out music in 08 (i think) but couldnt keep the game up
    and as soon as em came back they both doing there thing
    but em has braught it back to and jay failed at that there for em
    kl need 2 go see ya

  68. Wow. says:

    Hate to burst ya bubble, but Jay-Z is complete trash compared to Eminem. There I said it, no racism involved, simple.

  69. Drucifer1983 says:

    Every Eminem thread, same comments, same arguments

    *Yawn*

    Thaty girl in the photo is hot

  70. Wow. says:

    Oh and, about Kool G rap, Rakim, they were the shit..in their generation. There is a new generation of hip hop upon us and it’s been upon us, the old legends need to step aside let other people become legends. Em and Jay are undoubtedly the best in the game, and are both legends in their own right.

  71. cog4 says:

    just let Em do his shit and stop criticizin him…k? and trust me…the angry blonde will revive and the real slim shady will stand up and go bazzurk all over the world just like the year 2000

  72. if he didnt say shit in wont back down y arent u faggots talkin about him name droppin lil wayne?

    oh thats right u still drinkin koolaid in yo shrek mickey deez glass

    scary ass opinion monster

  73. kanye talks the same white black money ego power neo soul fuckin a bald bitch nonsense

    great producer, and im gonna let u finish but EMINEM is the greatest rapper of all time.
