Never let anyone tell you that video game soundtracks of any generation are not music
Super Mario Bros 3 soundtrack is so relaxing during the gameplay

I would never say video game music isn't real music, a lot of Nintendo music, specifically Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda, have incredibly well composed songs that make my classical music brain go crazy
Now some video game music
I see why people think it isn't music, even if I don't necessarily agree
I'd listen to Undertale, Mario Galaxy, and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl music casually, but a lot of video game music is a lot like movie score in that it's written to accentuate the events of the media and therefore doesn't always work well to just be listened to on its own
Some songs in musicals fall into a similar trap, but to a lesser extent in most cases
But like I'd never listen to the ending of Judas's Death on its own, just like I'd never listen to most songs from Earthbound on their own, even though Earthbound has an amazing game soundtrack

Just don't get it
to me it’s kinda how much meaning is buried in his songs/he can sound really mad and the song still hits hard
or its cause he raps fast, idk

I think that the last two are very valid but I really am not sure at all what you mean by “meaning”
I think his songs are usually very straightforward with their meaning

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is min

Who in the world thinks Eminem is a good lyricist or composer
He's a good rapper technique wise, I guess
But rap is all about the lyrics
And if your lyrics are literally horrible
Well
Please explain to me how you can set your lyrics poorly when there's no melody
Rap is all about extending passages by breaking down the rhythms into smaller notes
It's like the most basic thing about writing rap
So how in the world do lyrics like
"To make black music so self-ish-ly
And use it to make my-self wealth-y"
Really like fight me
Come up with one good lyric Eminem has written that can possibly make up for how atrocious that one is
im going to take the pacifist route with this

I almost always respect people's opinions of things but I have yet to have anybody who likes Eminem present any valid reason for liking him other than that they need a hiphop beat playing in their ear at every hour of the day

to be fair this applies to basically most rap. usually the lyrics aren't really heard unless you're actively trying to hear them. Like, now that you spell out the verse it makes perfect sense but I wouldn't exactly say rap is all about the lyrics (as in the actual spoken words).
edit: I didn't say only the beat matters. I personally think the lyrics in the song convey the message perfectly fine but if you prefer songs that are lyrics over background that's totally fine too

Well there's no art to just the beat
The beat can sound cool but it is pretty much the most base form of music
It is a background for the artful part, which is the rhythms, melodies, and lyrics
And, in rap, the flow of the rhythm and how it ties into the lyrics and whatever melody is present are the vehicle for the emotion and meaning in the song
That's just how songwriting works
Good rap exists and good rap has good lyrics

since we're all talking about rap/hip hop right now I'm just going to drop the Beastie Boys into the conversation

I love playing Lavender Town on loop now (new comfort song :00000 even though it is scarily calming)

She disappeared across the boardwalk
She keeps the sunset right with movement in her eyes
She knows she gets away with {can't say?}
Swallows up your heart of gold, and I don't know just where we've got to go

Kann man uns am himmel sehen.
Wir haben angst und sind allein.
Und Gott weiß, ich will kein engel sein.

I love how Paul simply thought: “it's hot today, I'm going outside barefoot”
