Ja she's pretty gimmicky too.

Em's got the most fun gimmicks though.

**Frownland** · 12-09-2019, 05:48 PM

For a few songs, sure, but beyond that he's like a friend who gets chatty when they're stoned to the point where they're just saying **** because they like the sound of their voice.

I'm cool with that. Ain't many or any people I like to hear play with dumb rhymes like Em. I mean perhaps you can understand my personal point of view when comparing both me and Eminem as characters.

I'm cool with that. I get the appeal on some level at least, he's a pretty fun feature.

And also his flow is crack. I connect with him on a similar level as I do with ICP but ICP working around their musical shortcomings adds the dimension that I appreciate, whereas whatever you might criticize about Em his technical proficiency and self-awareness combine to be what ICP could have been in an alternate universe where they were talented rappers. Like he can put down bars and make them sound amazing but also knows he's a dip**** ******* so doesn't let his proficiency detract from his schtick as a complete train wreck.

But in both cases it's the performance art side of their schtick that impresses me the most.

So what are your go-to coworker/office gifts? I'm done with the mug and coffee or fuzzy socks shit, I'm too old for that now.

Get a religious person a Bible signed "From Jesus XOXO".

My corner store guy gives me American Honey shots for 25 cents apiece if I buy more than ten so that's always my fallback. I also pick up five or so chocolate bars for the non-drinkers.

Yea Em is cool. Personally what i like most from him are his cyphers

In this cypher he definitely had the best bars

In this one he's good but Black Thought better.
