I'm glad we have such open minded people in our midst.
You probably argue with everyone who DOESN'T listen to trance too. |

| And by the way, what you guys fail to realize is when you bitch and moan about him hating techno, or being anti-gays your helping him sell his music, your making a big deal out of it. Also of all the people who say he is an entertainer first, and an artist second, how many of you have heard more than 2-3 of his non radio tracks? Most of his lyrics are very serious, besides that man can freestyle like no other. He's probably among the best in the world right now. |

While I will agree that I am not a huge fan of Eminem. I do have to say that this song just totally pulls on my heart strings when I listen to it. Maybe you have to be a parent in this situation to understand it but...
:::Lyrics
Album: The Eminem Show (2002)
Song: Hailie's Song
Intro
Yo I can't sing…but I feel like singing. I want to in' sing…cuz I'm happy…yea…I'm happy. I got my baby back…yo…check it out...
Verse 1
Somedays I sit staring out the window, watchin' this world pass me by
Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live for. I almost break down and cry.
Sometimes I think I'm crazy. I'm crazy, oh so crazy. Why am I here? Am I just wasting my time
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy. It all makes sense when I look into her eyes
Chorus
Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders. Everyone's leaning on me
Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's almost over, but then she comes back to me.
Verse 2
My baby girl keeps getting' older. I watch her grow up with pride.
People make jokes cuz they don't understand me, they just don't see my real side
I act like don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy. My insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy. It all makes sense when I look in her eyes.
Verse 3
Man, if I could sing, I'd keep singin' this song to my daughter. If I could hit the notes, I'd blow something as long as my father
to show her how I feel about her. How proud I am that I got her. God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't *censored* (want her)
Now you probably get this picture from my public persona that I'ma pistol packin' drug addict who bags on his mama.
But I wanna to just take this time out to be perfectly honest, cuz there's a lot of I keep bottled that hurts deep inside
of my soul. And just know that I grow colder the older I grow. This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold,
and this load is like the weight of the world, and I think my neck is breakin'. Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations?
Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself, but I got a wife that's determined to make my life livin' hell.
But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt. So many chances, man, it's too bad - could have had someone else
But the years that I've wasted is nothing to the tears that I've tasted, so here's what I'm facin'…3 felonies, 6 years of probation.
I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman. I've taken bats to people's backs, bent over backwards for this woman.
Man, I should have seen it coming. What did I stick my penis up in? Wouldn't have ripped the pre-nup up if I'da seen what she was in.'
But it, it's over. There's no more reason to cry no more. I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore
(Hailie). So sayonara, try tommorra, nice to know ya. Our baby's traveled back to the arms of her rightful owner.
And suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted. It's like the greatest gift you could get. The weight has been lifted.
Chorus
Outro
Told you I can't sing..Oh well... I tried... Hailie, remember when I said if you ever need anything, Daddy would be right there? Guess what? Daddy's here, and I ain't going nowhere, baby. I love you…(kiss)
Sorry it's so long, but I felt it had a place in this thread...the lyrics are definitely better than anything I've heard from him in the past. And that's an understatement. |

| I don't listen to eminem or Rap in general. If I did, it would be just a very few songs. On the other hand, I'd choose Eminem any day over some ed up Death Metal band who tells you to kill your teachers and friends and commit suicide... There's no worse music. |

The lyrics above was one example that Em is a quite talented writer when he feels like being serious for once.Here's another more aggressive example:
Eminem - White America
Prelude
America! We love you!
How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours?
The stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect
The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech
The United States government has sworn to uphold. (Yo I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) or so we're told...
Verse 1
I never would've dreamed in a million years
I'd see so many motherin' people who feel like me/
who share the same views and the same exact beliefs,
it's like a in' army marchin' in back of me/
So many lives I've touched, so much anger anger,in no particular direction,
just sprays and sprays and straight through your radio waves it plays and plays,
till it stays stuck in your head for days and days/
who woulda thought, standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair, with some peroxide, reachin for a t-shirt to wear/
that I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?
How could I predict my words would have an impact like this/
I must've struck a chord, with somebody up in the office,
cuz Congress keeps telling me I ain't causin' nuthin' but problems/
And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government, I'm lovin' it, I shoveled all my life/
And now I'm dumping it on...
Chorus X2
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
Verse 2
Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself,
if they were brown Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf/
but Shady's cute, Shady knew Shady's dimples would help,
make ladies swoon baby, ooh baby! Look at my sales/
Lets do the math, If I was black I would've sold half,
I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that/
but I could rap, so school, I'm too cool to go back,
gimme the mic, show me where the in' studio's at/
When I was underground, no one gave a I was white,
no labels wanted to sign me I almost gave up, I was like/
it, until I met Dre, the only one to look past, gave me a chance, and I lit a fire up under his ass/
Helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got,was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got/
Like damn, we just swapped. Sittin' back lookin' at , wow,
I'm like my skin is it starting to work to my benefit now?
Chorus X2
Verse 3
See the problem is: I speak to suburban kids
who otherwise would've never knew these words exist/
Whose moms probably never gave two squirts of piss,
till I created so much motherin' turbulence!!!/
Straight out the tube, right into your living room I came,
and kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre/
That's all it took, and they were instantly hooked right in,
and they connected with me too because I looked like them/
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope,
searchin' with a fine tooth comb, its like this rope/
waitin' to choke, tightening around my throat,
watching me while I write this, like I don't like this (Nope)/
All I hear is: lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy,
sponsors working round the clock, to try to stop my concerts early/
surely hip hop was never a problem in Harlem,only in Boston,
after it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom/
So now I'm catchin' the flack from these activists when they raggin',
actin' like I'm the first rapper to smack a bitch, or say /
, just look at me like I'm your closest pal, the posterchild, the motherin' spokesman now for...
Chorus X2
Verse 4
So to the parents of America/
I am the derringer aimed at little Erica, to attack her character/
The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns/
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress/
And piss on the lawns of the White House and burn the ??? and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker/
To spit liquor in the faces of in this democracy of hypocrisy/
you Ms. Cheney! you Tipper Gore!/
you with the freest of speech these divided states of embarassment will allow me to have, you!/
....I'm just kiddin' America, you know I love you...
You can call Em an attention whore,who's only goal is to piss off people in order to gain more attention and to sell more records.That is not far from the truth.But the fact remains that he is still a very gifted MC,and there are extremely few rappers out there right now
that can beat him lyrically.(and those few that perhaps can,still haven't proved themselves on a record yet.) |

look buddy, the thread says
eminem: your thoughts
mine is -> I hate him
if you don't agree that's your point but it doesn't have anything to do with the open-minding or not...
trance is better than anything, but it doesn't mean there's no other talented artist...he sucks, and if it makes me "not open-minded" , well i am |

what do you guys think about eminem? ill share my thoughts after i read what you guys gotta say =] |
i think hes a self obsessed bell end who was brought up through the dregs of society to think what he does is "cool". infact in my mind he opitomises cool, the very thing that embodies most people i dont not like, a high "coolness" factor. so at the end of the day, i dont like him, rather pity him infact, hes like a child with ADD. |
