um...you should listen to The Marshall Mathers LP. (his best album by far)
there is some controversial stuff; especially about gays. (listen to Marshall Mathers and Criminal.)
and the song Kim is rather disturbing.

But besides that, every rapper has a potty mouth, it's mandatory... omg...the beginning 5 minutes of the 'Aphex Twin - Windowlicker' is so funny....go watch it.

this reminds me in one of Armin Van Helden's songs he says out of no where "trance sucks".. I was listening to it with my friend (who is heavily into trance aswell) and we just looked at eachother and laughed for a few mins.. its pretty funny really.

Even with this "nobody listens to techno" shite, the only reason to get pissed off at him is because he seems to bask in his own ignorance. The fact that he doesn't actually know what techno is (especially if he's referring to Moby) kinda renders the line a bit pointless to tell you the truth. And he goes on about "MTV trying to censor me" and all that shit..... bloody hell. He provides them with clips with all the naughty language bleeped out ffs. He obviously fancies himself as slayer of MTV and all these commercial giants, but he's still signed to Sony isn't he? One of the biggest record companies in the world? Oooo, how underground of you Slim. The fact is, he sold out from the second he rolled into town on Dr. Dre's back. All the melodies in his tracks are so basic and annoyingly crass, pandering perfectly to the tastes of 14 year old girls..... which brings up another point. All his fans are under the age of 20. I can't think of anyone I've ever spoken to or anyone I know over the age of 20 who can take him seriously as an artist (apologies if anyone over that age here does). He's a talentless hack with a chip on his shoulder, who wants nothing more than to make a shit-load of cash (as evidenced by his stance on mp3s) and cause some "controversy". Why don't you do something really controversial, Slim, rather than just swearing, verbally bashing gays or writing tracks about how fucking controversial you are. Why not tell your record company to fuck off. Why not make some sort of a political statement: let's hear your views on capitalism, American fundamentalism, Marxism and the Hegelian dialect, liberalism, or anything. Instead of whinging about how everyone's out to get you, produce something decent instead of this nasally white-boy shite you try to pass off as "rap". Why not do something really controversial like condoning charity, or third world aid, or anything that hasn't already been done to death? Instead of taking asprin on stage and telling everyone you've just taken ecstacy, why not do the really controversial thing launch an anti-drug campaign? He couldn't. All he's got is his bad-boy image, and nothing else. If he stops writing songs with a controversial undertone he knows that he's going to get lost in the sea of talentless nobodies: which is why he's trying so hard to get his face on the cover of teen magazines, where he then goes on about how absolutely hardcore he is. For gods sake, Slim, do something with your fame. This shit is getting old.

ok first of all, eminem is trying to make a living somehow since he obviuosly can't make it anywhere else (besides a fast food join).
secondly, AMEN RENEGADE!! Your post was the most though-out and had the best backed up opinions I have seen on this thread yet....that's why I always enjoy reading your posts. They're 'LEGITE'

<>plastikE<>

two generic ones that work are "Oh im sorry, were you talking?" and when hes finished stare for a second and say "You done?" in a condescending tone and continue on.

actually, i don't think he gives a fuck, because unlike rappers who try to keep their street credit...eminem will just take MTV's money, do a show, say the bullshit, and won't give a fuck.
sure, he's not to bright, but like he schemed up this bad boy image is rather ridiculous. he's just a dumb, talented rapper with the media up his ass.

Originally posted by Ultraphu Constantly I have this guy who everytime he sees me he screams out "NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO" following the release of the song by Enimen(sp). He usually does it in front of a large crowd of spectators, in which everyone laughs. I can't believe this shite, I feel like the school bully is messing with me! What comeback would you guys say to this ignorant fool?

Well to start off, the line in that song "NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO" is directed towards Moby, who is far from techno. And yeah, you know what, compared to rap, techno is far behind in record sales, radio play, and just popularity in general. But i can also remember when Eminem was just some funny white rapper who no one knew about, then he exploded. Techno is slowly but surely getting more commercialized, but i think we should enjoy the music while its still underground and not blown up on every radio station in the nation!!!!

"techno? what the fuck? ain't nobody listen to techno"

i hate farkheads who listen to the music because they think its cool and all to follow the trends.....if this guy didn't listen to rap in the first place just call him a sheep and can't make his own decisions and just follows ppl like a sheep...well this guy is simply a fuckhead
