Simply ruined by commercial interests that were probably largely out of Em's control. Eminem is a good or even great rapper but there are many flaws in his music just like any commercial thing.
No matter what, Aesop Rock is better

I have heard all the artists on the list. I still listen to many including Ali, Sage, Eyedea, Aesop etc... but I vote Eminem. I've heard 90% of the discos of the artists previously named and worth my time (sorry ICP) and still find him more talented. I agree that alot of his music isn't great, when he gets down to it, he creates lyrics that I feel Aesop nor Eyedea can touch.
