[QUOTE=Robbobin;24514055]fair enough; I'm not dismissing him as a musician, really. just dismissing a lot of his fanbase (though in fairness, I don't imagine facepunch has many people who fall under this category :smile:).
it's just a shame people don't open their eyes to the more underground hiphop artists so they can learn that eminem isn't the only damn rapper who tries to express anything deep.

Care to elaborate? People/groups such as Nas, Tupac, Biggie, Jedi-Mind-Tricks, AOTP, IT, Cannabis all have stupid songs as well. I'm actually excited to see if you can point me to a rapper who [I]only[/I] writes decent work and doesn't have one song about drugs/women/money.

I don't think autotune in itself is attributed to a bad musician, but it's probably a pretty good indicator. What grinds my gears about mainstream music is that compositionally, almost every song is a load of boring toss. Being able to sing or play an instrument is in my opinion one of the least important parts of making a piece of music.

I don't think there's anything wrong with writing about drugs, women or money. Or having joke songs. The point I'm making is that people are dismissing all rap, except eminem, because they think he's [I]the only rapper[/I] who tries to convey anything deep.
[editline]02:05PM[/editline]
Admitedly when I said "There's plenty of artists who [I]only[/I] write decent hiphop," I never really thought about what I was saying. Even my favourite musicians have written songs I don't enjoy. The point I was really trying to make is above ^

It probably sounds more like I'm attacking you than I actually am. I don't have anything against people like you because you clearly have a wider repertoire than the people I'm refering to :smile:
Anyone who likes good rap that's not about drugs, women and money listen to Sage Francis.

Truth. Was listening to Sage on the way to the shop, earlier :smug:
I'd also recommend Saul Williams if you're feeling spiritual. His music is just poetry, man. And his poetry is like liquid wonderment.

oh my god... I had to laugh... this just popped up on facebook:
[B]A friend likes [URL="http://al47.likeomg.net/eminem-is-a-real-rap"]Eminem is a real rapper because he doesn't rap about sex, cars, and money..... he raps about life[/URL] on [URL="http://al47.likeomg.net/"]♥[/URL].[/B]
I've never seen that group before.

It's not really about the subject it self, is what they're saying about.
Lady Gaga
Justin Bieber
Lil' Wayne
The Disney Horrorshow
Soulja Boy
Nickelback
The list goes on..
[editline]04:05PM[/editline]
Oh, and Ke$ha.
She just bothers me.
I actually appreciate Kanye's music (Before 808 & Heartbreak or w.e) but I agree with the rest of the list.
-As for Eminem some of his stuff is alright IMO but I fucking hate it when he tries to be a comedian.
3 days grace
Slipknot
Linkin Park
Basically anything on Kerrang nowadays
Kanye West was good in Graduation, but after that all his songs were shit. I agree that Eminem is over-hyped, but hes not as bad as Justin Bieber or Ke$ha. But I do enjoy raging over everyone saying "Eminem raps about life, all other rappers rap about cars, drugs, money, and sex". Why? Because pretty much all rappers [I]do[/I] rap about life. You see for most mainstream rappers their life [I]is[/I] cars, drugs, money and sex. Eminem has a really fucked up life compared to the coke snorting, money gambling general rapper. Eminem is a good rapper, especially for the mainstream. But its not the fact he raps about life that makes him good. I could rap about my life, but it wouldn't be intresting.

I have a lot of respect for Eminem even though I don't like rap, and his song "Stan" is great.
Nickleback gets my vote.
Lady Gaga, Disney assholes (Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, etc), fucking Justin Beiber, Nickelback, and now, from American Idiot and on, Green Day (Their old stuff was good)

Drake.
[QUOTE=lead_farmer;24513754]Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye don't need to be on there. I think they're all great artist. I mean, Kanye has a huge ego but his older albums like College Dropout are awesome.[/QUOTE]
I agree on that one. Before Kanye West was a dick, he did release some great albums such as the one stated above, and the late registration.
What's wrong with drake?
wait. are we trying to FIND bad music so we can expose how shitty the music industry is? This seems kinda hipstery. this thread gets the stamp of approval by the ironic t-shirts board of directors. not that there isnt shit. like nikelback. if he's too shitty for canada, he should be too shitty for the states too.
