Everyone likes to hate what’s popular. It’s been uncool to like Eminem since The Real Slim Shady. 8 Mile made it even worse. He’s one of the best rappers ever, but also the highest selling artists period since SSLP released. The volume of fans makes it easy to lump them all together, despite the diversity of those who like his music.
It’s corny to geek out over his lyricism. Even though most of the people here are writers who rhyme as a hobby. Oh the irony.
