EMINEM: your thoughts
what do you guys think about eminem? ill share my thoughts after i read what you guys gotta say =]
Eminem is a pawn, a tool of the money-making corporations that created him.
I have no idea as to his rapping abilities or whatever as I have jackshit knowledge of these areas (rap does not interest me in the slightest....).
I feel sorry for him in a way, the way that he is forced to swear and do/say stupid things to get attention and sell albums. If the music is really that good, let it speak for itself, rather than swear and offend for itself.
Do a search, I remember a long thread titled "The Eminem Show" a few months back that had some pretty intelligent discussion in it (if u have a serious flame retardant 
)
Just my $0.02
and i dont fuck*n understand him. he said something in his video "without me" that "nobody listens to techno" or some shit. but look at the video. first scene in the video the music is techno / dance music i wll say.
dont worry if i have a chance to see him ill fuck*n shoot his ass.
hes a cokk-sukkin-upindaass-mugget-fag.
i hate this guy...
dont like his music and the way he offends ppl.
just the samething as with the spice girls... just created by some person to make a alot of money.
My thoughts:
I think he is only "popular" because he is white. I mean yeah he was the first white rapper to really make it big (Vanilla Ice doesn't count ), but he really needs to get over it. In every song, there is some mention about how he is white. No sh*t.
His rapping ability is OK. But it really is hard to tell between all of the profanity.
Also, "Without Me" has a house-ish beat. Nobody listens to techno? you're right, thats why you have a house beat in your song. Friggin hypocrite.
Bah, if thats that all of the little kiddies consider to be popular, than I'm glad I'm not in the "in" crowd.
On one hand... He is a disgusting, tasteless jackass... However, on the other hand, you gotta admit that he has some catchy beats in there. The other thing that is interesting is that all of his songs tell a story... the story of his life... like about his daughter and family and drug experiences. Kinda gotta pity the guy but his rap for the most part im sure is true. Still a scumbag for mocking techno though. haha
Simply put:
Eminem is a talented rapper that can write good lyrics if he wants to.(just check out "White America".You have to admit that he's right about a lot of things that he's saying here.)The problem is that he cares too much about being a total asshole and making money,rather than making good music.
interesting views, i have not thought about him that way.
why has there suddenly been loads of posts about Eminem? whats wrong with him? hes got nothing against Trance music - just Techno and Disco!
hes done alright for himself - hes a millionnaire now!
I think it really depends on which eminem we are talking about. The campy one who deos tracks like the "real slim shady" or even "without me" sounds irritating after hearing it a couple times. If anything Eminem shines when he is downright serious. On tracks like "cleaning out my closet" and "stan" i think his lyrical ability becomes more evident. what people don't understand is, all the hateful material written by Eminem is its designed to revoke a response from people. Being controversial almost makes his album a number one hit. Its funny, all the people claiming to stand against him are making him all the richer by protesting. As far as him being more popular because he's white, i'm sure that plays a part. even eminem has recognized that. But, it should be no surprise. It s formula that seems to work. Even, groups like the backstreet boys and in sync have been striving to sound more r&b.

i like chilling to his albums, but iam not into it much, i much prefer dr-dre, but still its not where neer TRANCE!!!!!!!!!!
eminim's a prince. well, in his earlier day anyhow. he's a very unique rapper n his style, totally eccentric compared to anybody i've heard. i've followed him since the early days while he was still considered dre's prodigy, n listenin to all his older songs which many he'd collaborate with a lotta underground rappers, he was definitely a revelation for the scene.
but ever since the exposure, like many artists, hitting mainstream top 40, they somehow convert to catchy tunes to maintain that commercialism. which is degrading for the genre [all genre's. for e.g. what many of u believe oakie's doin to trance] as it doesnt become just about the music. making "the benjamins", becomes n plays a factor and a concious awareness of creating an appeal to that mainstream crowd. though of course, none of us like that conversion to mainstream, its not to take away his credibility as a rapper as he's damn good, jus as oakenfold was, or is still a great pioneer for trance =)
He's just as hypocryt as the American government, with the difference that he's on 'our' side, although at first it doesn't look like that
Well...I think he..
SUCKS!!!!
The first song was amusing to listen to...but he is still a fagget.
(imo)
When I'll rap as good as him and make as much money as him I'll start judging him as a person.
As for now - I like to listen to his stuff every now and then but he's not my fave.
He's got some excellent tracks but some total garbage as well...
Those of you who think he's not a good rapper obviously don't know SHIT about rap music. Damn Europeans.
Eminem is the best rapper around now. Nobody can touch him. Name someone... you can't can you? Only one who comes close is Dre from Outkast.

He is an idiot. 
eminems purpose is to offend as many people as he can and he has obviuosly been successfull then! just look at this thread! if he didnt offend anyone what would he possibly be able to rap about?! people always fall for these marketing ploys! grown ups hate him so what do kids do, oh wait my parents dont like him so ill listen to him just to piss them off! hes not stupid hes put there to make money and hes doing that because people flame im so it immediately makes him cool to kids! i dont find him offensive, i find him hilarious becuase every one who flames him gives him new stuff to write about! 
the sad thing is people judge him as an artist by the select songs they play on the radio, and as a person by the image created for him by MTV and the media.
eminem is extremely talented, noone can doubt that. if you don't think he is a good MC, you are either know nothing about hip hop, or you don't like him because he's white.
eminem got alot of popularity because he is white, but didn't get alot of respect because he is white. its a two sided issue. very few black people respect him.
if you don't know how Eminem is a good MC is that he can actually freestyle long and complex flows that are funny and actually make sence. if you listen to most rappers they either say interesting things but cannot flow, or they have mad flow but what they are saying is dumb and doesn't make sence. Emimem is on another level from most rappers, just listen to the D12 album, or the parts of the Marshall Mathers LP with other people in it. He makes the other people sound rediculous and horrible, everything flows so well and naturally.
btw: my favorite stuff from him is the Marshall Mathers LP, fuck the emeinem show.
One reason I like him is that he can freetyle like no other. He was all over detroit freestyling all the timeway back. Definatly hilarious. He has got some solid beats and funny lyrics.
But one rule is do not take him seriously. He is an entertainer, that is it. He is not there to speak the accurate truth. He is much like a comedian. If you ever get to watch his intervies on MTV defending his music, you will see how childish his mindset is, but someone tells him what is going on in the world and he raps about it.
SO he is good at what he does. Respect/
