Okay, this shit was just too funny not to post. The page won't let me archive so this link is to the direct article; don't click it if you don't want BET to get the shekels, but frankly Eminem probably needs the money at this point and it's a pretty funny read, so let's take a page from Rarity and show him some generosity as we enter the holiday season.

>The internet erupted in celebration when Em dropped a few bars throwing shots at Donald Trump
>it seems that everyone took notice of the Detroit artist's cypher — except for Donnie himself. And according to a new interview with Shade 45, Eminem isn’t too pleased about it.
>During his recent interview, Eminem expressed his frustrations with Trump ignoring his BET freestyle. "I was and still am extremely angry,” the “Walk on Water” artist said. “I can’t stand that motherf**ker. I feel like he’s not paying attention to me. I was kind of waiting for him to say something and for some reason, he didn’t say anything.”
>Trump has probably been so occupied yelling at NFL players to stand during the national anthem that he hasn’t had time to respond to Eminem’s cypher. It should only be a matter of time before he does.

you're right. well, that's fucking weird. no idea why it isn't working. Could have something to do with our referer I guess; the website wouldn't let me archive and it has about a million scripts on it.
Here, try this. First result at the top of the page.

Trump knows to resist the bait of trolls who actually try to challenge him. This is priceless and Eminem is crying because he can't get the attention he so craves.

Eminem… Hey, ain't this that "Mom's Spaghetti" loser? The shit rapper who got so egotistical, he had a movie made about "His life" and how he supposedly went from underground freestyle rap contests to superstardom through his own amaaaazing rap ability?
Rap isn't music. It's a lesser form of music. To rap well, you need good meter and word choice. And the ability to write lyrics in your mind ahead of time and remember them while pretending to improvise. That's it. There's no "Flow", no "Talent", no anything. You're saying words in time with the beat. Poets do that better. Musicians do that better. Rap is the music of the niggers because for them, it's high art, and in the modern world, a white rapper ACTUALLY RAPPING AND DOING SOMETHING ONLY BLACK PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ALLOWED TO DO REEEEEEE is a novelty. Just like an adult riding a child's bike better than a child can.

What's really funny about it is that this incident took place during the BET awards, and was probably the only significant news item to be generated from it.

8 mile was an entirely fictional story inspired by 'aspects' of Eminem's life. There is no truth to the movie.
As for rapping, your description of it suggests that anyone could do it with little/no effort.

other than his mom being trailer-trash and Detroit being a depressing-ass place to live, most of 8 Mile is complete bullshit. Eminem was basically one of several local rappers around Detroit in the 90s. Some of them, like Kid Rock and Insane Clown Posse, became moderately successful in the conventional way, by recording albums and selling them in local stores, performing shows, walking around town handing out flyers; basically doing all the same shit that any local artist who expected to make music for a living would have to do.
In contrast, Eminem was basically just one of several hundred local no-names. He was with a couple of groups that didn't go anywhere, recorded some unsuccessful EPs with them, and did some freestyle competitions on his own. Beyond that his career was mostly working in fast food and complaining about how shitty his life was in his raps. He won some freestyle contest where the prize was to have one of his old EPs sent to Interscope Records. Dr. Dre heard it and decided to sign him, then he was pretty much a superstar overnight. All the stuff in that movie about it being this big deal that he was white is bullshit as well. Probably the biggest name in local Detroit rap at the time was Kid Rock, who was not only white but basically just a wigger kid from a rich suburb.
I wouldn't exactly say that rap is something you can do with little or no effort, but rappers BIGLY exaggerate the level of talent required to do it. I'd say it's about 20-30% lyrics and the rest is delivery. In much the same way that you can write rock lyrics that sound weak on paper but turn it into a hit if you sing it well and make the tune catchy, rap relies a lot on using the tone of your voice, acting like a cocky badass even if you're not, and making sure the beat you rap over is catchy. A lot of fans will try to argue that in "real" hip hop the beat doesn't matter, but they're full of shit. Nobody would sit and listen to any of this crap if it didn't have the catchy drum loops behind it. You can also comb through most of the biggest rap hits of all time and most of them were either directly sampled or copied the melodies of songs that were already hits in other genres.
Making your lyrics sound "complex" is just a matter of rhyming and word density; Eminem's "style" is mostly highly regarded because he crams as many rhyming words into a single line as he can, and uses irregular metric structures. Basically, you just have to use as many words as will fit rhythmically into a single verse or stanza, say them as fast as you can, make sure most of them rhyme, make sure you rap them out loud as if you were trying to start a fight with someone, and recite them over a track that people can bob their heads to.

At this point I wouldn't be suprised if the don recorded a part that ends Emeniminees career.
How can one person cause so much butthurt?
Even if he does nothing they get pissed.

What ever happened to Slim Shady? I dont think eminem plays the serious rapper well but slim was perfect.
>>91929
I actually really liked his first and second albums, his third was okay. His "Slim Shady" persona was just perfect, he was like this violent cartoon character that just said crazy, off the wall shit for no reason other than to make people mad, and then skipped away laughing while they raged over it; it was like a rap version of shitposting. Then he got it into his head that he wanted to be taken seriously as some kind of hip hop icon or something and he stopped being funny.

If anyone hates their ears and wants to suffer through this, here's a song he did for all those poor black boys who dindu nuffin. I'll warn you that even without the politics this is an objectively bad song.
