What the fuck seriously, Eminems music is basically all him bitching about how his mom mistreated him, writing annoying songs about his daughter and killing his wife. Hes way more whiny than Tupac.
Indeed he is much more whiny than Tupac. But he is very lyrically talented as well - I prefer him to Tupac as a rapper.

I have heard Drakes voice being described as everything from beautiful to etheral. Unfortunately this is incorrect. Try a foghorn that barely works anymore. He has a tone of a cow and the passion of someone who just wants to get it over with and dosen't care about the end product at all. He sounds half asleep the whole damn time, in terms of vocals, guitar playing and songwriting. This is the most lazy album I have ever heard in my life.

Don't forget the spirtual mumbo jumbo bullsh*t lyrics that people only like to criticize when its done by people with instrumental and vocal talent, but when its done by this assh0le it must be a masterpiece.
I like Pink Moon, even if it can get a bit repetitive in parts.

But I do think that singer/songwriters (especially ones who are dead) get ridiculously overhyped though.

The Bends is 50 or so minutes of grovel that isn't accessible. It's monotonous.
You don't like the Bends? You sure?
