Fuck Christina with a plastic spoon
While I bump some G-Funk and blast some Snoop
'Cause her double g-cups are massive, huge!
It's fun for me just to grab a boob
Plus my penis got an attitude
My fuckin' Weiner's in a combative mood
Come and suck a mean one like it's mad at you
I speak tongue and cheek, what you asslicks do
'Cause you love to eat butt, it's sad but true
man is 46 and has daughters lmfao
gamers rise up.

I think for a lot of people, Eminem is their "Baby's First Hip-Hopper" and then his influence gets overstated, and yeah, there's a racial component to it of course because a lot of these same folk were ignoring non-white lyrical rappers before them or they didn't get exposed to those artists because of racist radio.
But I think because he did come out of the gate lyrical, it did pave the way for a more mainstream acceptance/awareness of lyrical rap, and in terms of that more mainstream lane, sure, Em is significant. But rappers were doing it before him, kept doing it, and are still doing it, and significant names have been doing it from jump.
Maybe it took a white dude to get racist America to be more ok with it, and that's impactful yes. Maybe The Roots/Black Thought never get to be the band for the Tonight Show, for example. But Black Thought was doing his thing before the Tonight Show and Em and been doing it, of course.
But as time passes, I don't think Em's peak output (while great to me, let me say for the record) will be considered extra significant by hip-hop historians when it comes to breaking ground musically compared to other eras. Like, it won't be or (shouldn't be, anyway) considered similarly to the coming of Rakim or Illmatic, for example.
Not saying it ain't worthy of some recognition, but lyrically game changing, nah, not like that. Em was just another part of that branch that extended from Rakim but who propelled to mega success for obvious reasons on top of his supreme skill.
And to Em's credit, he shouts out his peers and precursors who are supremely talented themselves and who, all things being equal, deserve more recognition then they get, like say, Pharoahe Monch.

Told this chick she's hot as Jada Pinkett
And just stared 'til I made her think it
Said, "Maybe we should just get married."
She's facing me, I placed my feet with my hips square
Tell her, "Turn around," spread her legs for me, then I hit bare
Leave her stretched out like a baby T-shirt on Ric Flair
As I ripped her, anal beads in a split rear
Spray Febreze in the chick's hair
Make her wheeze tryna get air
I played for keeps, there's no escaping me, I have a bitch scared
And chained to me, and throw away the key
And she'll be so afraid to leave
That even if she ends up breaking free she'll just sit there
Tryin' to scrape up enough courage and strength to get up
It's impossible like rapin' a slut
....
And this has little to do with bein' gay, boy
It's just where the wordplay's goin'
But ain't much I can say or do
'Cause ain't no excuse, the way I go at you faggots

New earl sweatshirt sucks. Doris is a hundred times better.
Can this trend of releasing half-baked projects on purpose die already?

He literally spent 3 years on this album.
He mentions he started this project in 2015, so this literally cannot be half-baked.
If you don't like, you don't, but, like Dereck said, if you want "Doris"-era Earl, you'll always have "Doris." Let him switch up his style.
There's a difference between completion and accessibility. Earl's new album is complete. Weird? Yes. Kinda inaccessible? Yes. Catered to a specific taste? Definitely. But I would never call it half-baked. The thing has clearly been very intentionally crafted and paced for the trance-like headspace it exists in.
Maybe if I wasn't in weird experimental jazz/electronic phase, I wouldn't fuck with it as much as I have. But again, I'd say it's the furthest thing from half-baked, especially if you've been tracking the various artists he's been drawing from and their own recent releases.
By half-baked I mean poorly mixed, quiet vocals, shit like that. The album would be so much better if it were mixed properly and Earl's voice was louder in comparison to the beats.
Are you guys must be listening to a bad rip or something? everything sounds loud and clear to me. I mean obviously not like top 40 mega produced hits, but the aesthetic is on point and it sounds fine to me.
this is why i don't wear my jordans"Y'all wylin this Em flames"
I made it 3 minutes on the Em freestyle.
He really hates women and gays, huh.
Keep banning Tyler from the UK, though.

There's a thread on gaming side saying without any irony that the RDR2 soundtrack is the album of the year across all genres.
lmaoooooo
if all they listen to is gaming OSTs then yeah, sure. even then...God of War PS4 OST out now.
Hey, any album that contains D'Angelo in it is automatically AOTY.
Also, this Ski Mask album has a fucking amazing cover.
Possibly the greatest rapper of all time, but as always, we shun our heroes.LONG LIVE JAHSEH.
Bumps Mortal Man
