Eminem is the rapper's rapper. Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time for multiple

reasons. He is melodic, so he focuses a lot on melody. His cadence is unlike any other.

Eminem focuses also on diction and enunciation. As fast as Eminem can rap, the amount of words

that he can rap, he is very clear, which is very hard to do when you're saying so much.

Another thing that makes Eminem's style distinctive is he can make words that don't traditionally

rhyme, rhyme together because he focuses on the vowels. By focusing on vowels, you can

turn an owl, like the bird, into an hour, and you can make those two words rhyme if

you're focusing on the vowels. Vowels are very important. This is a little technique

that a lot of people don't know, but Eminem has really studied the craft and he also studies

And I would say the last and final thing that makes Eminem's style distinctive is he is

authentic to himself. Being a Caucasian rapper in a style or art form traditionally dominated

by African Americans, he doesn't try to be like them. He speaks to his culture. He speaks

to something that is his background. He's from a trailer park. He's not from the inner

city or Brooklyn, so he's not going to try to be other than he is.

And that's one key element that all rappers, especially Eminem, has, is being authentic

to who you are and the life that you grew up and talk about those things. So, he's going

to talk about his mother, his baby's mother, and he's super creative and so he makes those

stories interesting. But, ultimately, he's being authentic to himself. So, all those
