I blame the casuals

I like eminem, and bought all his albums... but the only one that I love all the way through is the marshall mathers LP. Generally, he puts like a lot of rappers and other musicians, Too much filler imo. he's good no doubt.

Though I generally like random rock bands or jazz. not rap minus a few. Like the roots and a few others.

My favorite's personally are

Shiina Ringo. is my favorite.
And Radiohead (my favorite artist of the 20th century) I love their newer stuff... but it wasn't quite as awesome for me as their previous stuff.

oh man, we finally agree on something!

You missed PS3 and Taylor fucking Swift, HOW?! That's the most annoying one!

Edit - and that bitch has Jake Gyllenhall now, I didn't think I could dislike her anymore than I did but she's gone out on a limb for me.

Of the WHOLE 21st century? I doubt it. In fact I pretty much guarantee that he will not be the ARTIST of the 21st century. There's a remote possibility that hew will be the Hip Hop artist of the 21st century, but I think Hip Hop as a long way to go yet in it's development and maturation as an artform, and there's more great things to come from other artists yet to be born. That suggests art has prettty much peaked for the rest of the century and there's nothing to look forward to so you might as well give up.

Ridiculous to pronounce someone the greates of anything in the future tense. Past tense sure, at least there's something to talk about, but to automatically dismiss artists who don't even exist yet and for the next 90 years isn't even remotely credible. It's a bit like how the US patent office was going to shut down late in the 19th century because they figured everything worth inventing had already been invented. We know how that attempt at prescience turned out.

Nice try though.

Kid A alone secures it for me as the artist of the 21st century so far. Plus, Radioheads work in the last decade of the 20th put them among the greats for that century too, double win.

As for Eminem, I don't like rap and I can't help but feel that his rap isn't the best of 21st century rap anyway.

How could you forget Infinite ?

I've also misread the title. I got mixed up with decade and century aswell. Although, I still stand by my opinion, that Eminem is by far the most influencial rapper of the decade. I don't know about musicians in general.

I wouldn't say that. His verses in Infinite, MMLP, and SSLP outdue his newer work by FAR !!!

In today's game ? Or the best ever ?
