EMINEM: YES or NO?

[minxnim]

personally, i've always really liked this guy, even in the d12 days. he just reminds me of high school and how much it sucked being poor and having a crappy job at kmart and having to hitchhike to work and like, sleeping in a car in a fucking trailer park parking lot!
plus he's hot.

 

[XzanderX]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

this is like Florida 2000, all over again.

the smacking around of the girlfriend stuff makes me hate him, as i do all other poor people who smack around their SxOx's

the jason hockey mask he wore around for a while gets a solid B+, though...

Well, I think I at least "kinda" like anyone who creates amazing art, regardless of their moral behaviour. (if I didn't, there are artists who have done far worse things than Eminem has that I'd have to take off my "awesome" list...)

 

[avi]

I think he's talented, but should probably learn to act a bit more responsibly considering his societal status.

 

[minxnim]

no one expects the wu tang to act better! shit, everyone knew tupac was raping girls left and right and they didn't care! what gives? same with biggie! same with the ghetto boys....

 

[Stultus]

Yes, but they're black.

 

[avi]

that still don't make it right


and I know it's totally just wishful thinking, idealistic BS, but just sayin' y'know

 

[minxnim]

yea i mean, idealistically, women would actually get paid the same as men too. and gay people could openly shoot guns and stuff in the army. and black people would get reparation.... life sucks, but at least eminem is funny!

 

[FrostGiant]

I've always prefered Reese's Pieces.

 

[deadair]

to add to preppys list...

idealistically french people would bathe

 

[minxnim]

i cant talk. i used to be grunge/hesher/skater in the early 90's and didn't shower so much myself.

 

[deadair]

prep... i can relate...

nickname in high school... "nappy"... just sayin'

 

[minxnim]

hah! okay we're even.

another funny thing about eminem: he made fun of lil kim's nose on the 8 mile soundtrack and you know she was like OMG!!! when she heard that.

 

[FalseTodd]

He's hilarious, he needs to take a fucking risk producer-wise, though. He's lyrics, at times, are fantastic, but most of the beats *suck*. I'd be so much more interested if he'd get a richer production and canned all those cheesy choruses, too.

The last battle in 8mile was great. I just really wish I didn't have to sit through the rest of the movie. I was getting the "Breakin' 2" vibe a little hardcore:

"Yo, Cheddar Bob shot hisself in the leg!"
"I *know*, but I can't even be trippin cause you *know* I gots ta flip the script on this breakdancing competition."

 

[minxnim]

his beats are definitely mad fucking corny. TOTALLY corny in fact. but i still like him just because he's so funny.

 

[The Dope]

I don't particularly like him or his music, mainly because I'm not a fan of rap at all. I think the majority of the bullshit he sings about is just done for the shock factor because that is what sells records, but I have to admit that he occasionally comes up with something insightful, whether he really means to or not. I don't have a real problem with him as long as he is open about the fact that his personality is meant to be taken for its value as a type of entertainment and nothing more.

Insightful, whatever; I think he has amazing flow and lyrical contruction skills. Skeelz. Whatever.
