His level of skills, lyricism and flow is the reason why I rate him so high. He had, IMO the best 3 album streak in hip hop history with SSLP, MMLP and TES but after he released back-to-back mediocre and above average albums, even though some of them contained memorable moments. Even if his beat selection is sometimes highly questionnable, he is always able to tell a story and make the song interesting. I consider him to be top 5 greatest rapper of all time even if I don't particularly appreciate half of his discography.

The GOAT. I don't think there's a rapper that dropped 3 back to back classic albums better than Mr. Nemnem. (SSLP, MMLP, TES)
Kanye and Kendrick also have 3 great back to back albums, but to me Em takes the cake.

Slim Shady LP, Marshal Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show are classics and some of the best albums of hip hop, but his later work is meh. There were defiantly highlights tracks, like When I'm Gone, Not Afraid, Headlights, and Be Careful What You Wish For. But there are a lot of mediocre tracks as well

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

He's immature, offensive for the sake of being offensive, unnecessarily violent in an attempt to be edgy, and most of his references and punchlines are horribly dated to the point of becoming unintelligible and frankly not funny. But there's no denying that with the way he strings rhymes together and flows for days on end, Eminem is one of the greatest rappers to ever live. He just makes it all seem so easy.

His robotic flow really gets boring and repetitive.

His 'golden era' hasn't necessarily been sustained, but he is indisputably one of the most influential rap artists of the last 2 decades.

If we're looking at his golden years,sure,he's really great,but his discography as a whole? Not so much. The records that follow his 3 great ones are pretty mediocre,with some good and some bad tracks. It all averages up to a good artist.
