I like some of his songs, don't care for most of them.

I respect his skill more than I like his music.

I voted yes because he was incredible and on top of his genre for his first several years and albums. I'll always love that s***.

Nowadays though...don't really care about anything he's done in the past decade+.

I admittedly don't listen to a lot of music but he is easily my favourite artist of all-time.

Saying that, I agree with everyone else that his newer stuff can range from decent to outright terrible.

I listen to all of his albums regularly, but everything from The Slim Shady LP to The Eminem Show is peak Eminem for me.

He's ridiculously underrated. Probably GOAT but nobody is allowed to say so because he's white.

Eminem had definite arguments a decade ago for GoAT-status, and it's cool that he's aiming for the more specific "speed-rapping" style we normally reserve for Busta Rhymes and Twista -- that's a neat kind of unofficial trophy to aim for in the genre. It's just a harder argument now to make that Eminem is still GoAT.

I dunno though, people still say that about Nas so I guess I get it. I'm on-board with saying peak-Eminem is as good as anybody ever was though, including freestyle battles.

This is dumb, it implies that we should judge people based on average rather than total work output. Force BIG to record 10 more albums and see what happens to his average quality (lol). OR, imagine Em dies after MMLP and tell me who has a better average quality than that?

Nas is still way better, just an all around fantastic storyteller and while his weaker stuff is meh like Eminem's, his middle of the road albums I would argue are better and Illmatic and It Was Written are better than MMLP or SSLP IMO.

Kendrick currently has the keys to the kingdom and the talent, storytelling, and flow to end up as the GOAT by the time his career ends. Feels kinda weird but he's in such a league above all the other rappers out there it's phenomenal.

....nah. People say it all the time.

As for the topic it's an extremely hard question because he was my favourite rapper and one of my favourite overall artists for a while, yet he's been hot garbage for over 10 years and his last album was atrocious. I never listen to him anymore, yet I respect the hell out of what he's done.

Eminem switched me from getting me into rap to making me not enjoy him rapping for years now. Forgive my disappointment there, but that's grounds for some artistic judgment when discussing all-time great rappers.

Fair point about Biggy -- we just don't know. I will say it's really hard to imagine what could have happened in either extreme with him and 2Pac both though. It's possible they could have been doing Sprite and Vitamin Water conmercials if they stuck around long enough. The game was changing big-time and not everybody transitioned well over the years. Let's get DMX in 2017, you know what I mean? Meanwhile, you got people like Jay-Z and Kanye (to a shorter degree) kicking ass over long periods of time.

This doesn't have to be the deciding factor, but proof of quality over many years is worth some points.

Kanye has not had a bad album, yeah. Even Watch the Throne was just meh

Jay-Z... kinda iffy because he definitely peaked and his newer stuff just isn't as good.

Absolutely loved two songs of his

Don't follow him though, and don't really feel his other songs
