It is kinda absurd how he is always cited on these great MC's list but Eric& Rakim or Krs One is no where to be found.

Wow. While I have no opinion on most of the great MC's you talk about on here as I have never listened to them, I certainly don't think Eminem is overrated.
I assume when you say "I like his early work but he is overrated" that you preferred his early work but not so much his new work. I agree with you there, and it doesn't quite have the same zing as his early work but one can't deny that he still possess the intense lyrical precision and hilarious puns (some extremely cheesy).
The praise he gets isn't in any way overrated. If you listened to his new album you can't deny he is still crafting lyrical masterpieces.
May I ask why you think he is overrated?
