I will say Em is probably in my top 10 rappers of all time, but there's no denying he's got some duds in his discography that are pretty bad. However people talk about him like he's one of the worst rappers of all time when clearly that's not the case at all. In fact it kind of reminds me of the whole "lil Wayne bad" memes from the early 2010s however people just hopped onto doing it with Eminem. Is it just me or is the Eminem hate kind of overblown? When did it start too?

It initially started to a smaller degree when MMLP2 was underwhelming, but it wasn’t obnoxious until Revival

When i had to hear Not Afraid on the radio

MMLP2 is not a very good record in my opinion, and rap God IS TERRIBLE. However seeing people rewrite history like he wasn't highly regarded as one of the goats ever is crazy

Good album but a mid song

rare case of someone tarnishing their legacy/perception with a new generation simply by making bad music (rather than being a bad person)

I always thought Zoomers loved Eminem

2004-5

Did indeed go from making some of the best rap ever to some of the worst overnight

u be asking too much s*** bro

his attempts at doing rap god live were so embarrassing

ehh not in my experience, weirdly the few times ive heard younger people discuss eminem, it was them making fun of the venom song he did lmao

Never. He is the Rap God and will be respected as such.

Da doing doing doing

Glad never seen that s***.

He definitely has some zoomers in his fanbase but mostly the "I don't listen to rap but Eminem is good" type

When younger gen came up not remembering what it was like when he was hot

forced Em hate just about as corny as his hardcore stans tbh

Also I think lord Jamar actually had something to do with it. His Vlad videos talking about Em did numbers and new gen watching those videos adopted his talking points

Gotta just be dependent on the group of kids to be honest. My 20-23 year old coworkers don't really think Eminem is the best but they said they have some songs on their playlists and say his technical skills is one of the greatest.

Bro I remember seeing a tweet a few years ago saying "if Eminem was played in the club everyone would leave" that went viral.

Are people forgetting tracks like Smack That, Shake That, Ass Like That, etc exist

when he started making garbage probably

The hate was there since his comeback with Relapse. It went to another level with each of his following releases and climaxed with Revival

Eminem hate is played out now. Before it was a response to the trash music he was putting out and his obnoxious fanbase.

These days I’m seeing way more people give him his flowers

Glad I only witnessed at a festival that had other more worthy acts

Also saw him in 2004 and he was already making too many puke and fart sounds and wouldn't shut up about Mariah Carey :sas:

Don’t let what you see on here today fool you. As a nigga that was on here in 2011, ktt (rightfully) HATED Relapde
