Eminem today is extremely cringe. amirite?

Damn you started at Recovery? His first 2 albums came out when i was in high school. He was a breath of fresh air for rap at the time. Nothing cringe about it but he def got cringey the less drugs he was on and the older he got.

Right the slim shady LP is my favorite album and it's not even close lyrically it's insane

I don't get people saying Eminem used to be cringe too but you are entitled to feel that way. But there an obvious difference in current eminem and old eminem and I think we know what OP means by cringe. This brand of cringe Em absolutely did not have back in the day.

by ParfaitMaterial2004 1 week ago

He hit himself with the biggest disses before others did. It was weirdly groundbreaking for the time. It was all the, "I'm trash so why am I better than you?" in his songs that actually got me to like him. In a strange way I feel like it was a huge drive for other artists to actually try to do better.

I remember back around 2000 when Real Slim Shady blew up. Everybody at my elementary school was talking about it and I wanted to hear the song, but didn't want to buy the album. What we'd do is buy blank cassette tapes and literally just turn on the radio and press record. Eventually, they'd play the song you wanted lol. I kind of wonder if everybody else did that too.

To answer your last question, yeah we did. Once my phone had a voice recorder on it, I'd use that to record songs too.

To truly "get it" you had to be there when Eminem set the world on fire, younger people can go back and listen to it but its devoid without living in the moment you just don't have the full context and understanding of why he was such a big deal.

When relapse came out, I assumed he was washed up and done, especially because I really didn't like that album, I'm shocked he's still so huge.

Thank you for saying it. He's a skilled rapper but, his music in general has always been slightly cringe.

That's kinda his whole schtick. He's a dweeby white guy who has corny lyrics but he's also a talented rapper

by Anonymous 1 week ago

He's never struck me as dweeby. Em in his prime was unironically cool. He was just cool in a way that absolutely cannot follow you into old age, and to see him try to hang onto it now is sad.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Honestly, I think the version of him you see now isn't a dude clinging to anything, that's just him, older. Now. It certainly isn't cool by any measure, but he's definitely not trying to be anything other than what he is now ... And this leads to occasional cringe fests. Because any sincere older person who once has intense youthful swag is likely gonna be a bit cringe while being authentic. Oh well

yeah it is he's had his time in the lime light now he should just retire and enjoy his money

Lloyd Banks is criminally underrated.

Agree. Joyner and Cordae especially are underrated. Mike Dimes and JID have solid albums IMO. Selfishly hoping Tyler the Creator forgets his last album ever happened and makes something else that's not close to whatever Igor was.

by Candelario50 1 week ago

Not the OP, but the greatest rapper of the day is MF doom. He is neither in the cringe Eminem camp nor in the mumble rap camp which has a very niche audience. He has got flow like biggie and an original twist on the stories he tells.

Lol if your first album heard was recovery you ain't even a rap fan so it's no love lost 😂😭✌️

by Anonymous 1 week ago

This is dumb lol. It was the album that introduced me to rap. Didn't say the album was a classic. I began listening to rap after that album. I've listened to everything from the 80s clear up to the present. My second album was Good Kid maad city. My dad gave me his Coolio Gangstas Paradise album. I probably know more about rap than you bruh Acting like Recovery is the only rap album I've ever heard lmao

The industry has always treated Eminem with kid gloves. So yeah, he can get away with heavy doses of cringe. Other rappers will say he's "skilled" because he sells and they want to sell, but ultimately, his lyrics just aren't that great.

There's a growing culture among creatives where the art is deliberately designed to cater to a dumb crowd. Maybe he's doing that.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

He's got plenty of good songs but the older I get the more the Slim Shady stuff seems cringy and I don't see how most of it ever had replay value. Sure it was clever but it all just seems like a one time deal. Nowadays it seems like he's just beating a dead horse and he should've retired after MMLP2.

My unpopular opinion: he has always been very overrated

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I liked his first 2 albums. After that, I lost interest. He has been cringe always though beefing with Disney stars or ICP and the ilk.

by Grant02 1 week ago

This is such revisionist history. He had legitimate beefs wth the biggest names in rap at the time. The only reason you think Murder Inc and The Source aren't legitimate is because you are looking back at it after Eminem already clowned them. Those were staples in the rap industry at the time

by One-Green5363 1 week ago

Murder Inc. was after, and he inherited that beef. The Source sure, I'll give you that even though Benzino sucks to me, he had caché at the time. The Royce beef was personal, and Royce did that to himself.
