1. Depends. Does she like him or does she "like" him?

6. Some things about Eminem are ok.
White America is a good track. So are some of the others. Parts of his music are hyperbolically irresponsible, so to speak.

Edited on Sun May-23-04 09:53 PM by LosinIt
I hated him before I heard the Eminem Show album. I 'rap' along in the car on my long commute some days. Words like this are simply brilliant:
Let your hair down to the track, yeah kick on back. Boo! The boogie monster of rap, yeah the man's back
with a plan to ambush this Bush administration, mush the Senate's face in, push this generation
of kids to stand and fight for the right to say something you might not like, this white hot light
that I'm under, no wonder I look so sunburnt, oh no I won't leave no stone unturned
Oh no I won't leave, won't go nowhere, do-si-do, oh, yo, ho, hello there
oh yeah don't think I won't go there, go to Beirut and do a show there
yah you laugh till your muthafuckin' ass gets drafted, while you're at band camp thinkin' the crap can't happen
till you fuck around, get an anthrax napkin, inside a package wrapped in saran wrap wrapping
open the plastic and then you stand back gasping, fuckin' assassins hijackin' Amtracks crashin'
all this terror America demands action, next thing you know you've got Uncle Sam's ass askin'
to join the army or what you'll do for their Navy. You just a baby, gettin' recruited at eighteen
You're on a plane now, eatin' their food and their baked beans. I'm twenty-eight, they're gonna take you 'fore they take me
Crazy insane or insane crazy? When I say Hussein, you say Shady
My views ain't changed, still inhumane, wait, arraigned two days late, the date's today, hang me!

Just let it be.

I used to hate Eminem. Then I started actually listening to what he was saying and trying to make sense of it. A lot of his early stuff is typically raw and unrefined, and there's a lot of "shock value" crap that got him noticed. But, he's developed.

18. I used to think he was awful
without really knowing what he was saying. Bad idea. He is more creative and clever than one would think. But his attitude is still pretty poor, and I'd pick Moby if I had to choose...

20. Get her some good rap.
Madvillain, Massive Attack, Mr. Dibbs.

Aesop Rock or Atmosphere if she'd prefer to stick to Whitey's rap.

26. Misogynistic, misanthropic, nihilistic POS w/nothing constructive to say..
...and that's just for starters.

Anyone that talks trash to the public about his own Mom is trash to me, no matter how bad she may have been. Em has no class, and what little talent he has is wasted on hate, profanity and ugliness.

35. I agree with Delano, plus
every time I see a picture of that talentless turd showing his middle finger like he's tough, I want to slap the shit out of him. He's about as intimidating as a poodle. It's like watching those morons from "Friends" flex what muscle they have in that fountain - it'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

24. you all sound like right wingers
kill her? get a lobotomy? don't use your taste in music to determine what's "good." like him or not, eminem has catapulted himself to the top and the reason is that he's extremely talented. rent the eight mile dvd and watch the behind the scenes footage of local rappers getting up on stage with eminem to do some freestyle sparring. eminem's verabl acuity and acrobatics will convince you that he's an amazing talent. put aside your preconceptions about rap music or black/white etc, and watch his twist his phrases in a way that will leave awestruck.

27. The whole rap milieu is irrelevant to me.
I have no interest in any of their "talent".

I feel sorry for kids coming up in an era devoid of musical talent like today.

Soon only pie-in-face humor will be "gotten" by people.

Translation: no need to call 911, I'm NOT going to shoot my wife. Nor am I considering suicide, mmmkay?

28. Memorize some lyrics and then
Have a karaoke party! Watch some of his videos, dress up similarly, get the mannerisms down...I'm sure she'll love it!
Okay I'm only half serious but humor goes a long way, and it's better than shooting or divorcing her...Be creative about this, I'm sure it's just a phase she's going through!

33. My ex and I made a deal in a similar situation.
I never played Dave Matthews around him if he agreed never to play Rush around me.

Yeah, I know, Rush is God \m/, so everyone thinks. Except for me.

36. Kill her and dispose of her body in front of your child
Isn't that what his lyrics suggest you do to your wife?

After you are done, you can go sodomize your mother. Marshall would be proud.
