Eminem is not just the greatest rapper ever/alive

[Absolutely Virtue]

Arvin, you complete me. This is why we were made to be together.

[Day]

Or perhaps we just appreciate good songwriting/lyrical ability and don't have to relate to the ghetto to enjoy a song. Just sayin'

[Charismatic]

I'm not trolling, my point is that this:

We rep hard out the wards in stolen cars
Spankin' niggas that be showin' off with they broads
Nigga catch a felony... he takin' his charge
Niggas turnin' state... we rapin' the boy
It's a hard life we livin'... they 'bout they drama
We earn stripes for killin'.. I'll attack like a rhino

While important to you now, will probably seem a bit childish or silly when you're all grown up. Maybe not, maybe you're gonna be the 40 year old guy in the club with the teenagers when the latest rapper comes to town. Maybe I'm an idiot. Who knows. Maybe you'll feel comfortable playing that for your kids when you're driving in your minivan someday. Maybe you're never leaving the hood. No need to attack me (like a rhino), I was just making a point.

This is not a personal attack on rap music. Plenty of it from my youth is still relevant. But a lot of it is just fucking embarrassing. I know many people my age who feel the same way.

lol

Certainly fair, and a good point. Although we could probably argue all day about whether those Juvenile lyrics above constitute good lyrical ability. But again, I'm old school, so I don't really like his style.

Boy you guys sure get pissy when I try to make a very benign, boring fucking point about getting too old for rap music.

[quannum]

I was just making a point.

actually, no, no you weren't. you're just digging a bigger hole for yourself now.

if you had actually lurked more like you're supposed to you might have been able to figure it out for yourself. but as it is you're just saying a bunch of dumb shit that doesn't apply to me at least.

and you can stop with the "when you get as old as me" routine:

you're just digging a bigger hole for yourself

talking about shit you know nothing about.

[Day]

I'm always pissy faggot i'm all hopey and changey

[tyven]

you have to be careful with the touchy ones like day and charismatic. usually quandog doesnt give a fuck

[Charismatic]

I don't know about any of you guys but I'll definitely be bumpin' this with my kids in the backseat

Hey we featured on that song

[quannum]

truth needed to be dropped in this thread and im a mushroom cloud layin motherfucker

[Absolutely Virtue]

and you can stop with the "when you get as old as me" routine:

But why did I spend all those years in the hood if not to impart wisdom on today's youth?

[Charismatic]

I doubt a MMORPG forum is where your 'wisdom' is needed.

[Krye]

Eminem made me the man I am today

[quannum]

leave it up to me, i be livin proof

[Day]

you know whats really annoying are those fucking threads like that in general where people have to show some kind of musical prowess by knowing more underground shit than the person before, then some noob always chimes in with a book about why they like so and so for this reason and that and it's always the same fucking outcome and shit, no one cares why you like so and so, or that you even fucking like them in the first place... so fucking what. I don't care if you listen to celine dion in your car on the way to wendys to get a vanilla frosty, whoopdy do da, I can't even hate on any music to be honest, at least someone created something pretty much out of nothing and it was good or bad enough for you to know the fucking song/artist in the first place, well thats a lot more famous than any of us are ever going to be sitting on a final fantasy forum talking shit about juvenile and jayz like we grew up with em or blew up with em, I don't even know man, it's just so re god damn diculous to read through that shit every fucking time. why can't just for once someone go oh man you like eminem, that's cool, i like this guy you might like him check him out but nah you got fags talkin bout how old they are and how i'll regret listening to naughty lyrics and other fags talking bout so and so is mainstream so don't listen to that shit, which is retarded, isn't the point to blow up and make it, maybe if your underground piece of shit artists worked a little harder they could have it too but no one knows or cares about them cause they fucking suck bro, just sayin.
