Your Favorite Band Sucks Your Favorite Band Sucks

By now you already know what the deal is. Here's the third installment in our podcast's series on the most over-rated rapper in history, Eminem. After taking you through the early days when he accused other rappers of faking freestyles while doing it himself, then accused everyone else of "just imitating" when he was the one biting everyone else, it's time to look at the climate of controversy this fool tried to generate around himself and why he even thought that was a good idea. Specifically, what can the career of a loser named Marilyn Manson teach us about the career of Eminem? Is the album The Eminem Show the key to understanding everything that went wrong here? Is it even possible to measure the damage that was done to the history of rap music by the movie 8 Mile? At this point, are we even sure Eminem is a good rapper on a fundamental level?



Until a bunch of YouTubers strip mine everything we say and repeat it on gigantic platforms then everyone starts to believe everyone always knew all this stuff about Eminem, the answers to those questions are only in one place: right here on Your Favorite Band Sucks!

Oh boy, it's time for Part 2 of What Would Happen If the T-Shirt Rack at Spencer's Gifts Started Rapping and a Bunch of Morons Decided It Was a Top 5 MC of All Time!



Just in case there are any, like, extra dumb people reading this, obviously you should make sure to listen to Part 1 of this series before listening to Part 2. But once that's taken care of, step right on up to learn more about the dark and mysterious music business machinations behind the scenes of Eminem's breakout years. Why would Dr. Dre get behind this clown? What was going on at Interscope Records that made them invest so heavily in giving Slim Shady a career? Exactly who were all those haters and imitators Eminem kept complaining about? These answers and more, today on Your Favorite Band Sucks!

Yo, yo, yo, yo! What it is, homeys?! Y'all heard of this phenomenal rap star who rhymes all these insanely shocking things nobody else would dare to say and used to be a total killer on the freestyle battle rap scene? Yeah, bruh! The Emliest of Ems, Slim Shady!

Alright, just kidding. It's us. We're back. Just in time for Eminem to also be back with a new album, except what he's gonna do is try to keep pretending all that BS is true about his early career and what we're here to do is fill you in a whole lot of truth. This dude IS wack, WAS wack and will ALWAYS be wack. Don't believe it could possibly be true? Tune in here to the first of several episodes on the actual death of Slim Shady. When all is said and done you'll have no choice but to agree: Eminem sucks!

Alright, this is the sixth freakin' time we've done one of these things so you shouldn't need much in the way of an introduction. Y'all know what it is. But wait... Could there be any surprises in this latest installment of our great podcast tradition? Listen and learn!

This holiday season we thought it would be nice to bring back a truly deep, old-school Q4 discount by taking 100% off the value of Soundgarden, one of the most overrated bands of all time. If the dude with the microphone is just going to scream all the time then shouldn't the music be heavier? How can the fans call this good songwriting when all of the lyrics are idiotic nonsense? Why is the most annoying drummer you know going to punch a hole in their bedroom wall when you send them a link to this?



All these questions and more will be answered in today's episode of the podcast: Soundgarden Sucks!

Please consider this episode of the podcast your one-time-only, always-true, get-it-tattooed-somewhere-on-your-body-and-never-worry-about-new-facts-coming-to-light reminder: you do not under any circumstances need to hand it to the band Cream. Forget every stupid Boomer joke you've ever heard that implies Eric Clapton was once a good guitarist or was once in a good band. It's always been a myth. Cream was unquestionably the most over-rated band of the 1960s and anyone who wants to argue about that has no good opinions on music.
