Every time I listen to the Marshall Mathers LP, I am blown away by the lyrical genius of Eminem. Anyone who says rapping doesn't take any talent is out of their minds. His mastery of the English language would put Harvard professors to shame.

To be fair, "The Real Slim Shady" is not a great example of his lyrical genius. For evidence of that, look no further than "Stan". That song is a total masterpiece. Another example of his mastery of the English language would be "Lose Yourself", which might just be the greatest rap song of all time. His use of literary devices, assonance, dissonance, consonance, alliteration, rhyme scheme, meter, and many other techniques makes him an elite user of the English language, despite not even having a high school diploma.

You may not like the song, but do you honestly think it sucks? It's cutting edge. There's a reason Eminem won a billion and fifty awards just for that song alone. Almost every single word in the entire song rhymes. It is a work of art.

lyrical genius and mastery of the english language are two totally different things.
Eminem is a phenomenal lyricist and songs like "Lose Yourself" "America" and even "Without Me" can prove that he is one of the best rappers today. I have a problem with calling "Stan" a song since it is (minus the Dido parts) just Eminem talking/telling a story with music playing in the background. Now dont get me wrong, Stan is a good track but to me doesn't fit the criteria for a song.
As for the English Language...what makes Eminem a master of it? or is "English Master" the same thing as "Lyricist"?
Personally i think that Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park) is just as good, if not better, then Eminem.

Honestly, I feel like her music prior to her being "Gaga" is actually pretty good. She was a pretty good singer with songs that actually meant more than "put your dick inside me, please." Her songs are catchy, sure, but she is nowhere near the "revolutionary" artist so many people think she is. She's just a chick who knew how to make money.
