when i woke up this morning to check my email that was the #1 story on comcasts homepage

It's gonna be great when he's 125 pounds and still a terrible actor and rapper.

[phattymatty]

even though 50 seems to be a product of the eminem main stream machine, he's a legit rapper.

[rjs246]

Mumbles McGoo could rap his way out of a paper bag.

I actually don't even believe that, I just wanted to say Mumbles McGoo. I think 50 is ok, with a "joint" here and there that I really dig, but mostly he's nothing special at all and the 2-3 years of over-exposure that he got was just awful.

hes legit in the sense that hes a valid rapper not some minstrel show southern mc...but hes not legit in that hes any good

he has two good songs 'how to rob' and 'many men' (in the club is a great beat not a great song)

the rest of his stuff isnt cringe inducing or anything its mostly just bleh...his problem is that he isnt skilled like an eminem and he isnt funny entertaining or smart like a kanye...hes just kinda bleh

How to Rob was the shtein. 

[phattymatty]

if you put some white powder on his lips, he now looks exactly like dave chappelle in the crackhead skits.

[phattymatty]

eninem's new album is surprisingly really good. best he's come out with since marshall mathers LP.

[Diomedes]

Why is it surprising?  He's good, isn't he?

[phattymatty]

yeah i like him but he hasn't put out a quality album in like 8 years.  thought he might me done.

I stuck my meatcicle in this game like a rapist, they call me Slim Roethlisberger
I go beserker than a fed up post office worker

[ice grillin you]

unless you are a teenage girl or an icp fan he hasnt put out anything good since 'anyman'....which was 1999

biggest waste of talent in music history

[Diomedes]

biggest waste ever

Recovery is surprisingly good. Not as good as the first 3 albums but miles better than the last two. Love the production. Finally something other than Dre or Eminem himself producing.
