We all started out somewhere

As for Eminem being a lyrical genius...he has his moments of excellence. But also his bad moments. If he was consistent with those moments of excellence then I think you could catagorise him as a lyrical genius.

He's my friend frankie and he knows nothing about hip hop whatsoever.
He thinks eminem is the best rapper that ever lived and he has never heard a nas song.

Regarding eminem being a lyrical genius, yeah he is but i dont like him.

Well I don't like many of the active rappers today but I used to like eminem, I don't mind some of his old stuff from when he was with D12 but after the likes of crack a bottle and superstar and all them shíte tunes i lost interest in him.

just out of interest, which artist making music now, or in recent times would you be a fan of?

Common.
I'm liking his new stuff and Nas aswell.

He is a talented lyracist alright, but barr the odd banger lately a lot of his songs are the same... My life was so tough when i was young, now i'm worth a **** load of cash my lifes still tough....

Yup, he's still rehashing the same old unfortunate/angry youth theme and taking cheap shots at certain section of celebrity. He hasn't the prescience or mindset to evolve quite frankly.

I mean, the guy's in his 40's, or nearing them and he's still blasting on like an angry child. He's past it, and he comes across as an irritant these days.

A lyrical genius with little to no artistic ability.

Hugh Cream · 26-11-2011 01:52AM

this old tired argument :rolleyes: name me anyone whose lyrical content changes drastically over their career?

He's definitely a great example of someone whos lyrics turned into ****.
Compare Players ball to hey ya and he doesn't sound like the same artist at all.

He needed money, much like what cee-lo did after him. Although cee-lo had great music throughout.

Hugh Cream · 26-11-2011 05:01PM

point is, very few artists make the lyrical transition some of you expect from "certain other artists"
it doesnt happen that often but people still trot out the lyrical content argument, its a lazy argument.
its a pointless argument really, people need to do their home work before making it.

That's certainly a balanced comparison. Listen to 'A Life In the Day Of Benjamin Andre' and get back to me.

yeah thats a brilliant song his flow is flawless but the lyrics are completely different to the likes of anything off southernplayalistcadillacmuzic.

26-11-2011 06:06PM

10 years will do that, it would be weird if he was saying the same things the same way from 94 to 2004.

His lyrics changed from 'Southernplaya...' to 'ATLiens' though. Their debut is just different. Pretty much every album they made is different to the last.

Yeah their rapping is inconsistent in style but it was consistent in quality for years.

Hugh Cream · 26-11-2011 08:33PM

so apart from outkast, anyone else's content changing drastically?

No, he's not a genius. He's definitely talented but no way would I call him a genius, especially after his last two albums which are awful.

superstoner90 · 26-11-2011 09:12PM

but not as good as my rap group we have beats AND hugh feet

we are the bog beats
we work on the bog

I think Mozart and Beethoven would dispute that point.

Tigger · 26-11-2011 09:43PM

There is a good co if sketch where the comedian talks about how at the start he had twenty years of anger and emotion to get out but by his third tour he's telling jokes about five star hotels and being rich

Is hard that success blunts talent but is true
