Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?I don't think you know the definition of music.(Original post by Hylean)
Not really. Rap does not have to include music of any sort and is dependent solely on the voice of the rapper, who chants or speaks in time to a beat, which doesn't necessarily require an audible beat. It is essentially poetry. Adding music to rap came quite later and rap does not require music. Thus, Eminem is a good rapper, in my opinion, when he's not being "Slim Shady", but in regards to music, I don't really think he's done much.

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?That's only because his currently been relevant the last 10 years. Rakim's peak was late 80s/early 90s. Eniemem is old, his going to retire within the next 5-10 years and forgotten within the next 20.(Original post by iSMark)
Everyone has heard of Eminem. Only a few have heard of Rakim. -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?Lyrically, Eminem is the best there ever has been. His mind is so much more complex than Tupac/Biggie's, he spits with real venom and aggression but most importantly, incredible passion to his cause.

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?When he is taking the piss he writes some amazing lyrics too.(Original post by Hylean)
Music? No, as he doesn't make great music.
Rap? Quite possibly. When he isn't taking the piss, he writes some amazing lyrics.
The Warning is brilliant imo, not published but is one of my favourite songs/raps of his.
I think he will be remember as a great rapper amongst rap fans but maybe not with everybody else -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?Dont get me wrong, Eminem is a good rapper and all that, probably one of best white rappers after Vanilla Ice.(Original post by Annoying-Mouse)
How you figure?
Tupac is much more revered in the rap scene because of his lyrics. Putting Eminem on the level of Tupac is simply an insult.
Out of the two, I like Eminem, so Im hardly biased. -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?What the **** does this even mean? You're just saying a bunch of words. How is it different than me saying "Lyrically, Tupac is the best there ever has been. His mind is so much more complex than Eminem, he spits with real venom and aggression (see hit em up) but most importantly, incredible passion to his cause (see ghetto gospel, changes etc)."(Original post by Rybee)

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?Hahahahahaha. Saying Em is the best white rapper after Vanilla Ice is like saying Tupac is the best black rapper after MC Hammer. Still making me laugh reading that. Hahaha(Original post by ak137)

No, he isn't. It's because his dead and by it's a mysterious death. I don't see much difference between the two. Both rap about "real ****" and both rap about "fake ****" and both rap about funny non-serious ****. -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?lol its funny cos most of the people talking on here dont actually have a working knowledge of what hip hop is.
to answer op, i think that it is unlikely eminem, or any other rapper/emcee for that matter, will ever get his just credit in terms of the mainstream/non-hip hop community and that is mostly due to the anti hip hop bias of major music publications and the media in general. -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?I'm not sure.. i think many people are not sure what to make of Eminem.. like sometimes he has heartfelt songs about his daughter or whatever, but then sometimes he releases the most stupid novelty forgettable songs

Are you stupid or trolling?
Vanilla Ice set the benchmark for white rappers, and I said emimem is probably the best white rapper after VI.
I dont think you know much about the rap scene. -

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?vanilla ice was not the first white rapper. check out beastie boys and 3rd bass(Original post by ak137)

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?Partially correct. Beastie boys started off earlier than VI but 3rd bass did not. VI set the benchmark for white solo rappers, so you hardly can compare Eminem with a hip hop band.(Original post by ugk4life)

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?It's funny, why I can't I show I find it funny? No, he didn't. There were famous white hip-hop artists before him.(Original post by ak137)

Re: Will Eminem be remembered as a Music great?but to be fair, vanilla ice was not really a rapper in the traditional sense unlike 3rd bass and mc serch in particular he was more of a pop act in the same vein as flo rida. eminem is more of an emcee so the two cannot really be compared.(Original post by ak137)
Partially correct. Beastie boys started off earlier than VI but 3rd bass did not. VI set the benchmark for white solo rappers, so you hardly can compare Eminem with a hip hop band.
