Well, for me it's mainly just that I don't like Eminem's voice, style, flow, songwriting, creative sensibilities, pop culture presence or public persona.
I'm not saying he's not talented, or that people who like him are dumb or anything like that. I mean, he's obviously one of -- if not THE-- single most popular artist in the history of rap. He's worked with tons of my favorite artists, so I'm not not acting like there's nothing to respect about him.
It's just that for me, personally, he is like... offensive to my ears. Not because he raps about smacking female pop stars... Not because of any of the things he does to deliberately offend. I just find him utterly trashy in every way. An affront to my own taste and aesthetic.
He's the reason I will never consider The Blueprint a perfect album.
Also, even when Dre's supplying beats and production, I find his records to be 100% substandard musically. I can think of a hundred mediocre rappers with less lyrical skill who consistently rap over vastly more interesting instrumentals.
So that's the long and short of it for me. He was funny in The Interview though.
