Eminem....................Music

[advanR]

Eminem is white trash. I do not like commercial rap, and find i hate most people in the industry, because of the ego everyone has. "I am better than you, oh yea. I have all these Bentleys, but dont know **** about them. I am a tasteless mother****er with money. Give me your money you stupid suburban white kids. It will make me more rich." But seeing such ego coming from white trash, is another thing. I am more okay with it when I see 300 lb black (always uncomfortable using this word) people doing it, because I see this all the time. but to see a 150lb bleach haired white trash freak doing it, is another thing. It is very funny.

He may be talented, but I would never know, as I dont listen to commercial rap. As a person, I think he is garbage.

Also, he is gay. I tell you all, we will find out in about 20-30 years, but mark my words, he is gay. I have nothing wrong with gay people, but for someone with such ego, that shows such hate to gays and others, its funny for him to be a fag.

Eminem...gay?

My world as I know it slowly crumbling.

 

[advanR]

if your "world" relies on eminems straightness, thats pretty sad.

 

[Klostrophobic]

True enough. If my life relied on me not being sarcastic, that would also be pretty sad.

has he been to jail for assult and battery on turds? i doubt hes a donut maker. suge knight started a rumor that dr dre was gay when he left deathrow records. he has a wife and kids.

And somebody up there said the only listen to rap. That's sad. Rap is fine, but it's not music. So you're missing all the great music... you know, original compositions, arrangements, written notes and layered melodies?

I on occasion, hear Blue Danube Waltz when ever watching Red Dwarf. I like it. I like Daft Punk, best French house band ever. I like Eminem, an extremely competent white rapper (I agree its difficult to use terms such as white and black, but apparently its preferable around those parts). I like Feeder, extremely accomplished indie band.

I like all music and I keep an open mind.

Eminem is both. Take the time to actually listen to him for once.

No!

Ever.

 

[Klostrophobic]

How can one NOT listen to him? One of his grossly amazing songs is on the radio every 7 or 8 seconds.

 

[advanR]

simply, someone who wouldnt want to listen to eminem, would also never listen to the radio.

radio is crap, eminem is crap.

Nothing like a good bit of generalisation...

With many many stations now streaming to the internet, it's virtually impossible (if it ever was) to say "radio is crap" without making yourself sound like an idiot.

 

[advanR]

generalisation, of course.

i have a problem with never being specific enough.

someone who wouldnt want to listen to eminem also would never listen to commercial (regular) radio. commercial radio is *mostly* crap.

npr has some good stuff. the only thing i ever listen to on the radio is car talk.

 

[meeekael]

he is ok

But i know tooo many 10 year olds who love him

It really puts me off

DISTURBED, METALLICA and SYSTEM OF A DOWN all the way baby

As it happens I know most the words and sing along even

so do i

 

[bigwhlkid]

he is the only rapper that is not always talking about their ******, *****es, big dicks, hoes, cars, money, and whatnot. which is why i hate rap. they are ignorant people, and i do now understand why society is the way it is because of Mtv showing these ignorant arses all the time.

rap is not music, hell they arent even singing and a computer is making the beat for them. sure you need a high vocabulary and be able to pronounciate very well. but does that make you a musician, get a job as an auction anouncer.

he is whitetrash.

sorry about the offensive language and ranting, i just had to get it out.

 

[Klostrophobic]

That has irony written all over it.

I think his songs get better and better. Having said that, I really can't take more than two or three together, it all gets a bit too much.

Lose Yourself is a great track. Musically, lyrically, I think it's like scultpure. The way the tension just builds and builds. I think it's ace.

I never would have imaged Giles as a Eminem fan - kind of.

Rap is music.

Just because the beat is made on a computer automatically makes it "not music"? I guess 90% of music made today must not be music because computers were used to create them too.

 

[bigwhlkid]

thats right, i only like the old stuff.

sabbath, pink floyd, rolling stones, guns n roses, led zepplin, def leppard, billy idol, ac/dc, metallica, iron maiden, slayer, cheap trick, quit riot, and so on.

a musician in my mind is someone who plays an isturment.

 

[F20]

He uses the amo! All his songs are about the same stuff...his mom, his daughter, and his life!
