I don't know any songs by nine of these artists. If I watched my regular TV viewing for let's say three days, I'd heard an Eminem song at least three times. Other than that, I might see OutKast or Ludacris, and I haven't liked anything I've heard from them yet.

That's an interesting point; and one I knew you'd point out sooner or later. That's exactly what "mainstream" is- songs "played out" day in and day out (who here isn't sick of "cleaning out my closet" by now?). And naturally, what you hear more, you are more accustomed to- no argument there; exactly what I see everyday with other mainstream folks.

And you keep saying things like this : "Eminem is NOT THE best" (that was in regard to lyrics). That is what we call an OPINION. People have different opinions, I hope you know that. I'm not sure exactly why you're trying to prove that Eminem isn't my favourite rapper, because that's impossible to do. If the people you keep naming as being better than Eminem are shown on TV and heard on the radio, then surely I've heard them before (although maybe not knowing who they are) and I haven't liked any rap I've ever heard other than Eminem's...

No one isn't forcing any opinion on anyone, and if you read my post, it clearly stated "this is IMO, so sue me." I'm guessing you missed that part...
Anyhow, my point with you wasn't to prove you don't like Eminem, it was to show that your reasons for liking him are no different than that of quite a few other rappers in the industry, so that if it was up to you, you COULD actually like more than just Eminem as a lyricist-guess I gotta point that out too...
Eh, but your opinion is your opinion- I proved what I needed to, and your responses were predicted. The sad part is alot of peeps think the same way you do, and alot of promising artists get passed over by the more mainstream images.
