I feel like beating up on Eminem.

I didn't read it, his pictured screamed "I am a smarmy middle-aged columnist, HATE ME NOW" so I did.+

 

He's saying nothing new but I love this:
"There is also something odd about a guy who screams about being trashy and blue collar and anti-establishment, but lives in a 22,000-square-foot mansion. You can only get so angry at your butler, you know?"

 

Yes, another poignantly humorous remark that I was going to quote, too.

 

Mitch Albom rules. I read his columns on a regular basis and am rarely disappointed.
I saw Eminem in 1999 when my band played a side stage at the Warped Tour and he was headlining the whole thing. I thought he was boring as a live act.

 

Eminem is a live act?

 

Has Eminem done anything lately? I mean, I saw him on the cover of rolling stone or something not too long ago. Way after 8 mile came out. I just can't believe people are still eating it up. But then again, I could have swore reality TV would have been dead a long time ago.

 

Well, Rap isn't going anywhere, and he's a pretty good rapper, so I suspect people do indeed still like him.

 

I just mean, the whole whiny style of rapping where he sounds like he's seconds from crying, it's annoying as hell. What I meant by why is he on the cover of rolling stone is, there is a bunch of pop **** going on, why put Eminem who hasn't done anything in a while on the cover?

 

I believe you answered your own question.

 

And its thriving like a mofo


i've gotten to the point where i dont care what happens in pop/mainstream music. as long as i dont have to listen to it im fine.

 

I've tried to listen to Eminem with an open mind, and I think he has some good rhymes. I mean, listen to 'Forgot about Dre' or his rap in Fittycent's 'Patiently Waiting' and I think you'll see what I mean. I'm not a rap expert; I listen to a lot more hip-hop and R&B than straight rap, but I know what I like. His rhymes can be funny, too, but I think the jokes aren't PC enough for public consumption.

 

Thats exactly my feelings about it. Some rap i can admire for the poetic language used... when its actual poetry. Rather than 'F- this, F- that!, they can't F- with me cause i'm the toughest!' so thats my two-cents.

 

The resturaunt is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.


Wanna know what it's like in one of those places? Get a job at Perkins or something.




But back to fEminem, what's the deal with this whole, "No one understands me, I'm so underground and hated."

 

If surburban teens wanted to rebel against their parents, they'd tell them they planned on being a musician .

 

maybe there waiting to die out at the same time... we'll find out

 

Miscellaneous

 

Eminem's first CD was so awsome, I love him. I don't care what anyone says, he has awsome rhymes and word play.
