I really hope you are not saying that Eminem has shit lyrics. He is definitely the opposite of all mainstream artists as he is a fantastic lyricist but his beats are fucking shit (mainly because he thinks of himself as a producer when he is utterly useless at creating a different sound)
Yeah, I am, if that is alright with you.
Not to say all his lyrics are shit but stuff like Ass Like That and Shake That are shite of the highest order and a far cry from the Marshall Mathers LP, his best work to date by a country mile showing that slowy but surely his work has dropped off to where it is now, the lowest it has been sinced he pressed a thousand copies for his hometown.
He is in there with all the other mainstreamers for me when he releases stuff like that and as a side note shows yet again the only artist to successfully crossover being Ghostface.
Whilst Eminem continues with tracks like those above he will be a long way behind in the lyrical content stats when compared to the likes of KRS, Immortal Technique, Braille and I could go on.
