He released two good albums with a few songs on some others that were good. He didn't exactly re-write the How to Rap book. Sometimes his flow even annoys me, and his lyrics were good but a lot of his stuff was clearly written for shock value and nothing more. No real substance in a lot of it. Others write lyrics just as solid as his. He has pretty enjoyable beats, but nothing that deserves being worshiped or anything.
Eminem has become more about nostalgia than anything for me. I still enjoy MMLP and SSLP, but I now know how much better rap there is out there.

This is the part where you suggest the other that write lyrics as solid as his please  I would love to hear something better.
