Here is a bit of Ren. It comes in three parts Jenny, then Screech. Finally if you want the denouement Violets tale.
There's loads of Ren rap.

Eminem 1st two albums were good ….did the odd good track with others too (2001 album with Dre) but once he went all pop I gave up with him ….guess that’s where the money was with mainstream stuff

Not listened to any of his stuff apart from his early stuff for 20-25 years

Similar to green day …..great early stuff (dookie one of the best albums for me) then went all poppy to fit in
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How can you slate something you’ve never listened to?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
He said he listened to it, found it too pop so hasn't listened to it for 20-25 years...

One thing I will give Eminem, he summed his fans up in Stan on point - crazy mo' fo's .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, he said he hasn’t listened to any of his stuff for 20-25 years, apart from his old stuff. Attention to detail DJ.

And not all people who like his music are like Stan. That’s just being silly.

Agree with this but that early stuff was special and puts him amongst the best IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His first two albums are still two of my favourites and I still listen to them

And where did he slate anything since? Basically said he found TMMLP, Eminem Show and maybe Encore too pop and stopped listening.

I’m not suggesting that, but every artist has to evolve with time, otherwise they’ll get labled as one dimensional. Different generations like different styles, and I can’t stand most of the music that’s around today.

My parents used to say the same

I didn’t slate a thing …..I said I found it too pop

Doesn’t mean it’s rubbish does it

I’ve heard bits and pieces since he released not afraid and it’s not my thing …..I compare it to green day and even linkin park a bit

Followed mainstream when their original stuff was great

Deciding not to listen to it is basically giving it the thumbs down.

Whether you think slating is the right word or not doesn’t really matter. You’re just being all Winston.

There is no music anymore

I’ve not bought anything new for a very long time

It’s all talentless boy and girl bands whaling ….half of them couldn’t even play the triangle

‘Going pop’ is a poor term anyway. His collaboration with Dido was basically a pop song. Considering how many it sold I doubt he’s too bothered how it’s described.

Pop music is grate. Music hipsters can get in the bin.

Yep without doubt. I literally used the term ‘wailing’ (whaling is something else entirely ) when commenting on some of the stuff my daughter listens to.

Let's not get crazy here, Eminem never did Pop at all

posted on 1/6/24

I think his longevity and mass appeal go against Em in this discussion. People disregard decent songs like No Love, Talkin 2 Myself, Stepping Stones, Cold Wind Blows, Best Friend, Not Afraid etc because they aren’t “classic Em” but that doesn’t and shouldn’t detract from masterpieces like Stan, Sing For The Moment, The Way I Am, Who Knew, Rock Bottom etc.

All things considered, it’s impossible objectively to not include Em in the top 10.

I judge on a song by song basis rather than the artist.

Dido was terrible though, simpering cack, her stuff actually used to annoy me when I heard it on radio, if she was a band she’d be Coldplay

I think Recovery was the closest he got to pop. Love The Way You Lie was such a hit and I think consequently people forget there were some absolute tunes on that album.

“He did a song with Rihanna! He’s Pop!”

Agreed. A song like Stan is 100% rap music and just because a rapper does a remix or cover for another song or feature a pop artist doesn't change that IMO.

That is actually the correct answer. Since day 1. Idk what people are talking about when they say they liked his ‘early stuff’ before he ‘went pop’. The combination of his elite lyrics and the perfect beat to match is what made him so iconic. When I was growing up I got hooked in by songs like My Name Is and Real Smily Shady because they were catchy. Then the more you listen the more you appreciate the lyrics and the way he delivers them.

Saying he went pop is just a manner of speaking. Something changed whatever you call it. For me his best music was made with Dr Dre involved. Lost something soon after that IMO.
