Lyrical genius ?
Troubled soul ?
Wannabe black rapper ?

( point 3 is not a racial slur, it's fulfilling a stereotypical perception of an American rap artist before anybody decides to become offended on behalf of anybody else )

He was boss years ago, cannot stand the commercial music he puts out so I don't bother with any of his new stuff. J Cole & kendrick Lamar have took over now. Anyway, lyrical genius.

1999-2003 he was golden. Untouchable. 3 classic albums in a row, biggest artist in the world, had his own successful movie and won a golden globe.

After that he has been mostly gash. A few gems here and there but his demise has been sad.

Point 3 is beyond racist.

Eminem has never attempted to be a "black" artist.

was obviously pretty talented, not into rap so can't really say how good he was, thought that film 8 mile was tosh though

In the verse that begins at 4:26,[12] Eminem raps 97 words in 15 seconds — an average of 6.5 words per second — which he describes as "supersonic speed":[13]

Uh, sama lamaa duma lamaa you assuming I'm a human
What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman
Innovative and I'm made of rubber
So that anything you say is ricocheting off of me and it'll glue to you
I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating
How to give a motherfuckin' audience a feeling like it's levitating
Never fading, and I know the haters are forever waiting
For the day that they can say I fell off, they'd be celebrating
'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated
I make elevating music, you make elevator music...

Think yhe guy is a fanstically talented artist. The fact he came from the 'black' background of rap and got himself noticed still is a testament to how good he really is.

Has gone commercial now but if that is what will sell then there you go. He knows what the deal is so putting whatever the people want from him on the shelves is going to be the best for business.

Always think of this when I see his name.

I don't like him, but I admire what he's achieved. To be a trailer park white kid and become one of the biggest selling rap artists of all time is testimony to his talent. His ability to adapt and keep changing his music isn't to everyone's liking, but the money keeps rolling in as a result . Some of his early stuff was border line genius, with some hilarious spoof videos to go with the songs.
