Used to be a huge fan of Eminem - the first CD I ever bought was the Slim Shady LP but Revival really disappointed me, Em is capable of so much better. Any Slim fans on here?

Wouldn't call myself a fan but about a month ago i looked out the Marshall Mathers cd and have been playing it in the car near non stop. Feels as fresh as ever. Haven't been drawn to his most recent stuff, but this album was of its time and it hasn't lost anything over the years.

I love Eminem.True his older stuff is better but he does still drop some bangers and he's still the greatest rapper ever.

There’s very little after The Marshall Mathers LP that’s worthlistening to imo

In his prime he was excellent I would have him further down nearer 10th Chuck D and Mos Def amongst others above him.

Eminem is a fantastic rapper when he's annoyed (the way I am, mosh etc...) but beyond the Eminem show, he's become exactly the type of performer he eviscerated on his first three albums.
The way I am.
Fwiw top 5 is something along the lines of:
Guru
Rakim
Nas
Inspectah deck

MCA
Ad-Rock
Mike D
El-p
In my opinion. I'm also really warming to Macklemore, but that's unlikely to be a popular opinion.

Eminem is more novelty than serious musician imo. I much prefer Erick Sermon, Redman, Busta Rhymes ahead of him.

there are many hip hop artists that you may like ahead of him - but care to explain why you see him as a "novelty" act...

It's funny how it is still fairly normal to separate rappers by race, talking about "white rappers" as if they are different.
I suppose it's to football's great credit that we wouldn't really have a conversation about who "the best black footballer" is any more. A footballer is a footballer.
The Beastie Boys were always number one for me, irrespective of race.

Oh well.. looks like I am on my own here.
I LOVE 'The Recovery'
Wasn't until relapse that I properly started to appreciate Eminem but the Recovery is what I listen to most by him. Appreciate I'm different in that I never started liking his stuff until later and other guys will have grown up with his early material. It's also to do with the fact I much prefer his 'angry' voice to his 'silly' one if you know what I mean.
Great poet and some outstanding tunes.

It also stopped biggie from dropping more than 2 albums at which point the quality would have dropped. Unfortunately 2pac never got that luxury.
I think it's especially pertinent with those two being gangsta rappers and the other two you use as an example are the same, it looks daft when a 40 or 50 year old man talks about that nonsense. immortal technique and for example chuck d have always been more politically minded and as a result they could update without looking daft.
