Apparently Eminem Has Become A Born Again Christian
Source – “BREAKING NEWS: Rapper Eminem Has Become A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN!!” announces a headline from MediaTakeOut, which is still struggling to unlock its caps key. Picking up on a report from the Christian Post, the blog says Eminem has “turned his life over to Christ,” and is “building a relationship with God and using that to help him spiritually, and with his addiction problems.” The webloid then quotes a supposed “source” who allegedly “witnessed the Detroit rapper’s transformation firsthand.” According to the purported “insider,” Eminem has removed himself “from the depths of the music industry,” and will “no longer be conforming to what the business expects of him.”
Well this is gonna suck. Get ready for a bunch of soft, pussy, Jesus-praising rap songs from your boy Slim Shady. Kinda went the other way there from all the swearing and talks of rape and murder and stuff. Now it’s gonna be God this and love-thy-neighbor that. Weak. Don’t think he’ll be rapping about killing his own mother anymore, that’s for sure. Kinda disappointing cause Em was always the dude that didn’t give a fuck, said whatever he wanted, didn’t conform to anything. And now you can catch him front row center at church laying down hymns.
Although this is just a rumor from the Christian Post so it could be entirely false. Let’s hope so. The last thing the music world needs is more people talking about God. Enough with that dude already. I’m so over him.
Here’s one of my favorite videos of Eminem being not Christian:
The father, the son, and the holy ghost all agree that this little wigga is the least ‘talented’ rapper of all time. Why couldn’t he become jewish?
After seeing the success of Mase take off after he chose God, Eminem HAS to do this. /sarcasm
Definitely false.
this better not be true
his last good cd was in 2002…over it
@ dana- not talented? really? The entire music industry disagrees with you…including some of the best rappers of all time.
eminem is good, but probably the most overrated rapper of all time
i hope its true cuz watching this guy’s career completely fall to shit will be hilarious.
Eminem is top 3 best rappers ever. There’s no argument that can be made that proves otherwise. Anyone who disagrees, go listen to the entire Infinite album.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
well we do have a reliable source right?
@maxypad infinite is his best album and def a classic, but eminem isn’t close to the top 3. Nas, Biggie, Pac, Big L all shit on him. Eminem has as many shitty albums as good ones
Eminem easliy top 10
Beastie Boys are the most overrated rappers of all time.
That should earn me 20 thumbs down but I’m sticking to it.
natkingcole don’t forget the old schoolers. KRS One/BDP, Publice Enemy and Big Daddy Kane gotta go on any top 10 list.
Infinite (1996) – classic
The Slim Shady LP (1999)- classic
The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) – very good
The Eminem Show (2002)- not very good
Encore (2004)- trash
Relapse (2009)- trash
Recovery (2010)- trash
@whorefrost agreed but you gotta add Rakim and multiple Wu members, just wanted to give a quick 4 to squash eminem being top 3 cuz thats a joke
everybody knows they five best rappers are dylan, dylan, dylan and dylan.
and also, dylan…
Bob Dylan is a fairy who steals songs just ask woody guthrie
if anyone has any reason whyeminem is better than nas, 2pac, biggie or big L I’d love to hear it
Em is definitely in the top 10 all time, top 5 is debatable.
Top 5: Nas, Biggie, 2pac, Big L, Rakim. Not debatable. Top 10 is more reasonable, but still pushing it
I agree with all the people you said natkingcole but I put eminem in the top 3 because his good albums were that good. And even on the overall shitty albums he had some great songs. Also the guy’s ability to free style is almost unmatched
Top ten rappers kids

I’m a drug addict…you don’t hear me crying to God
Plus Eminem’s impact on the rap industry has puts him in the at least the top 5. Anyone who is a 5’6″ white guy who can influence the rap industry so heavily that not only do many black rappers call him the best ever but most of them (at least the important ones) didn’t care that he dropped “Nigga” during the Up In Smoke tour
Freestyling has nothing to do with anything, you dont hear cassidy being mentioned as top 5. Big L has 2 albums better than anything eminem has ever done, and the other 3 speak for themselves
@MAXPAD… “FREESTYLE UNMATCHED” CHILL WITH THE 8MILE BRAAAH
if you’re gonna talk about impact on the industry than Rakim, KRS-One, Nas, Wu-Tang, Guru, etc. have had WAY more impact than Eminem ever did. The only impact eminem had was being white
http://youtu.be/Z9lg6HqJeY0
Top 5 rappers alive
chill with the 8 mile? that’s not even what I was talking about. And Free styling is an aspect of rap so it definitely has to do with something. It’s the ability to create rhymes and metaphors on the spot. It’s a display of his creativity. So can we end this argument and agree that Eminem is one of the best of all time? you say he isn’t top 5 and I say he is. Leave it at that.
Your’e welcome to your opinion, but freestyling has nothing to do with anything. No one freestyles an album.
Call me old fashioned but I’m against anyone turning their life over to Christ. He’s gonna be as dissappointed as Stan by the lack of response to his prayers
kind of disappointed by your lack of an argument though, besides his albums “being good”
what a fucking asshole.
I think you can argue that Eminem had a pretty big impact on my life, among other 18-25 year olds. He was the first artist I heard promote seriously reckless behavior. can’t tell you how many times I yelled at my parents because of his tunes
way to post literally one of the worst fucking eminem songs off of, by his own admission, one of his worst albums. I hate you Jmac. if i ever see you im gonna punch you in the face, stick my fingers down my throat, and then vomit on your face, hopefully ill get some in your mouth and you’ll choke to death and fucking die.
p.s. you make me hate fridays Jmac. jew.
well I don’t listen to enough rap for my arguments to be anything other than the content of his rapping is amazing, the emotion he raps with, the “fuck you, you can’t do shit to me” attitude and the fact that he was so successful as a white rapper. Admittedly, I’m out of my element when it comes to rap because I stopped listening to it years ago except for some old school shit. Nowadays the only rap I’ll choose to listen to is the Infinite album, Illmatic, Enter the Wu-Tang and MF Doom, Guru and the occasional Big L song. I don’t even listen to Biggie by choice but I won’t deny he is easily top 3 if not the greatest rapper of all time. But it’s almost impossible to agree on anything music related with anyone these days. Maybe we can agree that 99.9% of rappers that have emerged in the past decade blow some serious ballsack.
Definitely agree with you that every new rapper blows, I’d even up you a 0.1% and say that there isn”t a modern rapper worth listening to. Lupe had a chance but even he went soft and commercial as fuck. Won’t argue with you about eminems passion/emotion but after 3 albums it just sounds like whining. That’s why Nas is king, he’s still making good music a decade after Illmatic even with different subject matter and perspective. If you haven’t listened to Biggie/Rakim/KRS-One I’d definitely recommend that along with the older solo albums by Raekwon, Ghostface, GZA, Method Man, and the Blackstar album.
And AZ, Showbiz and AZ, Smif’n'Wessun, basically any 90s rap from the east coast especially NYC
showbiz and AG*
I’ll definitely give those guys more of a listen. I’d say the only rappers worth listening to nowadays and again this is purely preference are Royce and G-Eazy. G-Eazy is kind of a wild card but he’s got a super smooth flow and very specific style that I think he does well with. It also helps that he amy be the only rapper I’ve ever heard that has never at one point said that he is “the greatest rapper alive and people don’t know it yet” or some other version of that in a song
Wait! The eminem show wasn’t good? Says who. Criminal is by far the best slim shady song ever btw, and it ain’t even close.
Personally I’d have 1.) Nas 2.) Tupac 3.) Rakim 4.) Eminem 5.) Big L… (6 Biggie).. Nas Tupac and Rakim I think are easy top 3 and in that order. Eminem over Big L and Biggie simply because those 2 died way too soon.. They didn’t make a big enough impact because they didn’t have enough time to evolve as artists. Find me a Big L song thats not about him killing and robbing people.. What made Tupac, Nas, and Rakim great was their ability to transcend different aspects of life. From Ambitionz as a Ridah to Hold Ya Head Up
How come only white people hate eminem? Nobody I know disputes he’s easily one of the best ever. His wordplay was ridiculous!!!
@scoo on the song Ebonics no one gets shot or robbed
Ps anyone with tupac on their list of best rappers is a moron, how many times can you rhyme enemy with Hennessy homie?
@digitalmonster… haha one of my favorite Big L songs completely slipped my mind.. Good point. Although I still think he needed more time and he would’ve changed for the better.. I know alot of people who think if he had 10 more years he’d go down as the GOAT and in my opinion it would’ve definitely been possible
Also @digitalmonster I agree that of my top 6 Tupac was the least clever with wordplay and rhyming.. but he was an icon. I think it’s because he appealed to almost everyone because of his range of topics. (thug life shit to Dear mama/ hold ya head up)
I also think Tupac is over rated. Love his poetry but his rapping just never did it for me.
absolutely hate when modern rappers compare themselves to the greats. J. Cole spent a year saying he had a new Illmatic and then released an absolutely garbage album. @digitalmonster 2pac’s body of work speaks for itself. Criminal isn’t Em’s best song, listen to Infinite. Also Eminem Show has the songs Without Me, Hailey’s Song and Square Dance on it, that alone knocks if off the list of classic albums. You can listen to a classic through and through without hitting skip
The most disturbing Eminem song is ’97 bonnie and clyde. 3AM and that whole album sucked serious ass
2pac is probably the worst lyrically on the top 5 but his subject matter, rawness and emotion are the best of the best. Not to mention he took a negative hit from a few shitty albums released after he died (that Eminem produced).
@scoo Big L would never have changed for the better. That’s why his music is so hard and also why he didn’t live to be 25
I have a hard time considering Eminem as one of the best ever since he’s produced so much garbage like “My band”, “Without Me” etc. And the fact that he hasn’t made good music since 2001.
also @scoo listen to some unreleased big L like “How Will I Make It.” He has some deeper songs, you just have to find them
Eminem reminds me of Jay-Z. A few early fire albums followed by a bunch of shitty albums. Can’t be the best if you put out garbage
@natkingcole .. Just listened to How Will I Make It?.. thank you. haha.. I agree with the comparison to Jay Z except I think eminem was better than Jay back then and hasn’t been nearly as bad in the past 10 years. Eminem Show had some bad songs but a lot were good.. I’d consider it equal to Nas Untitled album.. And thats Nas (the GOAT IMO).. By no means a classic album, but for one of his worse albums, not bad..
Top 5. Eminem, Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, B Rabbit, and the white guy from D12
Surprised nobody’s mentioned Big Pun. Dude’s flow was crazy. Either way its tough to compare people like Big L, Tupac, Biggie, etc. to guys like Nas and Eminem. I don’t really care for Eminem but he definitely had some amazing Albums and then dropped off and put out shit. If I just extrapolate what a rapper that got killed after an album or two did its not really fair. That’s like ranking Ken GRiffey or Grant Hill where they “could have been” without injuries. I think you get points for raw talent (classic songs, etc.) but you gotta get points for longevity, so you gotta respect what Nas has done. We also tend to inflate people’s reputations after they’ve passed and have become somewhat bigger than life. I have a personal bias towards Slug (of Atmosphere) after listening to him grow over 15 years from fun songs talking shit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dG6-t5v4iE) to songs about all aspects of life like having kids or losing your father (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlthxMR6mZE)
Mike Jones is the best rapper ever. Issue closed.
But I don’t think you an e an icon without being sick lyrically and PAC just wasn’t for me, the gza,rakim,scarface, Andre 3000, redman, a few more ill mcs to be considered
Andre is a personal favorite of mine. Also gotta give respect to a tribe called quest (q-tip), mobb deep (1st 3 albums), method man, black moon, common, talib kweli, big pun
Mos def more than kweli for me
yo rap fuckin sucks… grow up you fuckin assholes.
I got a list, here’s the order of my list that it’s in;
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me

natkingcole – cus hes white. it would be like whitey being the best player in the nba or an asian was the best nascar driver or a woman being the best weight lifter – its stunning. race card is real fella – if not why does he get so much scrutiny OTHER than the fact hes white? i didnt make the rules. i call em as i see em.
Biggie’s overrated because he’s dead. Dude was a beast, but lyrically weaker than almost any rapper mentioned in this comment section
i cant believe i made an account for this.
it goes 2 chainz, juicy j, cheif keef, flocka and whoever beats the shit out natkingcole that annoying fuck. every goddam time i read anything on this site i have to scroll down the comment section to see you and all of your shitty opinions. you suck. get a fucking life. no one cares if you dont like hockey or how athletic basketball players are. no one gives a shit about who’s the best rapper which you felt the need to post a million different times in the comment section. if you dont have anything funny to say then dont say it. and please please dont respond because i dont give a shit what you have to say. now i have to go kill myself because people that post in the comment section are fags
jeez guyz top 5 is mac miller, wiz, waaka flocka flame, mac miller again and pdiddy
I hate to be that hip-hop hipster, but I was down with shady before he came out in the mainstream, probably about a year and a half prior. Didn’t even know he was a white guy for a while. His underground shit was CRAZY. His verse on 3hree6ix5ive still remains one of the best I’ve ever heard. “When I drop the science, motherfuckers tell me stop the violence/start a fire and block the hydrants/I’m just a mean person, you never seen worse than/so when slim gets this m-16 burstin’, you getting’ spun backwards like every word of obscene cursin’ on the B-side of my first single with the clean version” I mean, that’s ridiculous. So skill-wise, he’s one of, if not the best, ever. Problem is, I don’t always like his songs. He kind of changed up his delivery, and I don’t really like his angry sounding voice, and that’s all he uses now. I like his laid-back, but still off-the-wall ridiculous flow. Encore was the last album I bought, there were like two good songs, Superman and Drips, and then a bunch of made-for-radio garbage. Kind of stopped listening after that. Left to his own devices, he’s arguably the best. His own popularity killed him. Once Hollywood producers got a say in his music, that’s when he went downhill. This born again shit is weak, but he’s already been dead to me for a decade.
Schtick, you trying to battle son? Bars for weeks on this side, homey, haha…
Whoops, just reread my shit…it was Eminem Show, not Encore that was the last one I bought. My fault.
this is absolutely a real possibility, even that bullshit recovery album had a lot of that, and so did hell meets evil, he hasnt made music like that in years … nothing we ahvent seen for like 10 years
@davidaug u mad bro? 2 chainz, juicy j, cheef keef, and waka flocka? i hope that was a joke. if it wasn’t, you should kill yourself for being such a mainstream faggot.
and if you don’t want to read the comments don’t scroll down. not that hard to figure out unless you’re an actual retard, which in that case good for you for learning how to use a computer and type.
Bad Meets Evil. Hell: The Sequel – best rap album in recent history
So now his songs will say ” Fuck Jesus fuck Mary fuck the three wise men and fuck lucifer”?
