I'll get a little more specific then.....Shakespeare invented and commonly used techniques that no one else at that time had been able to develop. Shakespeare also created words, like I said earlier, to rhyme with commonly used words. He also changed the pronunciation stresses of words to make them rhyme. These were most common in his sonnets.
Eminem uses a technique that's never been used before and cannot be linked to anyone else's work. He stresses words and parts of phrases that normally wouldn't be stressed, but it all comes together and works. No one has really figured it out yet.
srv1 brought up the fact that Eminem likes to keep writing about the same stuff, complaining about his past life of poverty. That's true, and I agree, it gets a little old. But Shakespeare did a version of the same thing. Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear, and Othello are pretty much his four main tragedies. Each of these are great pieces (in some people's mind) but their originality and variety is lacking. They were all created in the same mindset, but do not refer to eachother.
But you might be right.....possibly too much of a stretch....
