WTF Eminem ?

You read what I just wrote and that is the best you can do.

Prove me wrong is the same thing as saying show me I am wrong. So far I have not seen any real talent come from Em. If you show me his best work in your opinion and I still think it lacks talent; then we can agree to disagree.

But telling me I am wrong for not seeing his talent when you have no idea of my knowledge of his body of work is ignorant on everyone's part. Record sales, awards, bank accounts do not define my measure of talent.

Art is subjective. Music is art. Someone can see perfection in something; while another sees a steaming pile of shit. Em is that steaming pile of shit to me.

Like I said "prove me wrong" implies that you are somehow RIGHT.

I think a more accurate way of phrasing your challenge would be "Change my mind" which I think you've actually said at some point.

And I have no interest in changing your mind, what you like/dislike is your business, what do I care?

I am still steadfast in my belief that Em is talentless. Nobody has showed me anything to the contrary. Seems like an easy challenge to satisfy considering it is the belief of so many people on this board that Em is SOOO full of talent. In-fact "Crack a Bottle" further solidifies my point because not only are the lyrics childish, they are also rapped like a pre-pubescent 13 year old boy.

I am glad that you (and everyone else other than Bessani) have no interest in changing my mind. It saves me the trouble of wading through endless shitty youtube clips, and lyric websites to see your point of view. Now if I could only get you to stop telling me that someone has talent when you yourself won't/don't/can't back it up.

Didnt he say something like "If I am still rapping after 30 yrs old, someone needs to slap me off of the stage" or something like that?

Whether or not Eminem has talent is a matter of opinion. You have yet to prove/back up the fact that he DOESN'T have talent in MY eyes. So why don't we just agree to disagree?

I have posted a video of "Purple Pills" and lyrics to "Crack a Bottle." If you see talent in either of those; than I feel bed for you or anyone within earshot of you.

Worse though is that his lyrics have not progressed in his career. He is boxing up the same shit you bought ten years ago and selling it as new.

If you want to support him financially - go for it. I have a tough time paying for the same talent I expect from a middle school poetry class.
