I find it amusing that it has become so cool to hate on Eminem.

Garbage? Going wrong buying this LP? Total crap? I will disagree.

I love it. His first two albums were decent, but The Marshall Mather LP was a masterpiece, and this one is right there. Great subject matter, beats are solid, packed with 20+ songs.

Sure, the single is corny and gimmicky, but what do you want from this guy? His skills as an emcee are undeniable, and again, the topics he covers in a single song are deeper and more thought provoking than the entire catalogue of other lesser emcees.

And his flow is just straight bananas. He is challenging Biggie, Rakim, Jigga, and a few others for the title of best flow/delivery. His rhyme structure is incredible.

But yeah, why is it so "in" right now to hate on Em? And if you're not hating, what did you want from this LP?

If it's not "your kind of music," fine, but I don't buy the "it's not my kind of 'hip hop'" argument. If you don't like Eminem, and you claim you like hip hop music, you're a moron. Or a backpacker wannabe. Or an internet nerd.
