This is insane. M&M makes rap sound like a song? His latest---I don't even know the name of it---is the same cadence over and over, over a disco beat that sounds like it came straight of a 1986 Casio. It's not a song, it's an infinite loop of rubbish.
Most "rappers" drone on in monotone to point where they all sound the same. There are very few (Will Smith, LL Cool J, Eminem) that can bang out "songs".
Will Smith, huh? I'm beginning to understand where you're coming from . . .
Rap isn't everybody's cup of tea and quite frankly, most of today's crowd can't do much more than mumble and cuss in a monotone. It was different 15 years ago, and Eminem really needs to be compared to those guys. Without Me and The real Slim Shady are pretty catchy numbers.
You really want to compare M&M to Public Enemy or A Tribe Called Quest? Even Snoop kicks his ass.
Have you actually listened to him, or are you just repeating what someone else (who never listened to it either) said?
Nice try, but I've listened to him. He gives "sucks" a whole new meaning.
I probably should have snipped all your comments into my reply to justify what I'm going to say, but I just couldn't be bothered. It's apparent you don't care for Eminem, and that's fine. Music, like all art forms, is a personal experience and people appreciate different things on different levels. For example, my oldest daughter became a huge Clash fan by listening to my collection. However, she doesn't share my appreciation for the Pistols, and I can't really get with her favorites, NOFX.
My girlfriend and I went to a concert last summer. I was ecstatic to see Billy Squier, but she doesn't care much for him. She was happy to see Styx, but they really don't knock me over. We both agreed Bad Company was a nice filler between those two acts.
The point is, people agree on some things, and disagree on others, and it's all personal taste. That being said, it's just music, and your smarmy, arrogant, smart-ass, comments aren't really called for or appreciated.
The reason I asked you if you had ever listened to Eminem is because more people get on this forum and trash the guy without ever listening to a single track. They just freak out over what their preacher/sister/whoever said about him without having the slightest idea what they are talking about. You have listened and formed an opinion, so fine. Incidentally, I didn't much care for Public Enemy, but that might be just because I can't stand Chuck D.
If you want to talk music, I'm game. If you want to argue, save us both the trouble and don't bother.
