You pretty much summed up how I feel about him. I've got quite a few of his tracks, but he does just spout shit.

I can't be bothered to go back & quote other posts, so I'll say -

Amat - Eminem does belong in the ATG discussion. The consistency of his album's is better than Jay-Z imo, he hasn't had a bad one (Jay has). The Eminem Show is by far the best. He goes places lyrically that no one else would. I understand it's not for everybody, but you've gotta respect the talent. (I prefer Jay btw, he's definitely the ATG for me).

Mick - I can only conclude Jay-Z has done something to you personally. An altercation in an LA nightclub maybe? Did he try steal one of your chicks?

Julius Rain - I'm with Amat, if you really believe that

Ryanman, anyone else who's posted obscure underground acts - I'm not going to deny that a lot of crap gets through & a lot of better stuff is ignored, but you can't generalize all commercial/underground music. There's a reason some stuff is commercially successful & that's because it's good. There's also a reason a lot of stuff stays underground because it's shit. Unless you like everything to sound like it was produced in a dodgy washing machine.

Ono - The HattonTheHomeboy comment has to be one of my favourite ever posted here.
Thats not really how it works though. Case in point Spice Girls, Westlife, etc etc etc etc. Popular doesn't equal good. In fact it quite often means the opposite. But its all opinions.
I hear what your saying though that the cream rises to the top, but i prefer another saying - 'scum rises to the top, gold sinks to the bottom'.
