Who cares what he raps about. He is way past rapping about killing his wife, and even if he does rap about it.....it is just a gimmick.
He isn't going to kill his wife because he wrote a song about it.
The Beatles wrote about living in a submarine.....did they ever live in a submarine?
Quit saying he is a sh*t rapper.
He isn't, and really, as one of the remaining people who could save rap music, why would you want him to be gone?

Personally I do feel Em is dope M.C.
But I'm inclined to agree with the guy who said fame has gone to his head.
I mean has anyone actually listened to Encore?
It's bloody garbage in my opinion, 'Lose Yourself' (off the 8Mile sound track) is a classic, 'When I'm Gone'(off his greatest hits) is ok I guess, but I've heard it all before.
And before anyone says anything I think the stuff he did earlier on in his career and his first two albums are legendary, and there are one or two songs on the third but on the whole after his second one he's gone down hill.
And what's with him dressing like a fake gangsta these days? Velour tracksuits? Doo-Rags? wearing Platinum and Ice?
He's on a newish song with this old school guy from Detroit(can't remember his name but he's wack) which Em produced and on the Hook Em's talking about Gangstas and Guns, what the ****?
That's not the Em I used to feel or rate as great.

In my opinion he's exposing himself into becoming just another Vannila Ice(if he does nothing about it sharpish).

I think living in a yellow submarine is unlikely to offend anyone. Talking about he will kill his wife and rape his mom, however, will. Rap is about connecting with someone and their life, and I don't think anyone can connect with that. Some of his raps are good, and he certainly has got talent, but he would never save rap music-he is to busy earning money and destroying it. You are right, he is way past rapping about killing his wife-he is now in the stage where he raps about how much he loves his wife. Anyone see a contradiction here? I think if Eminem would just look at why so many people hate him, and began to listen, then he would become much better for it. His ability to rhyme is fantastic, and he has got that special something that all the greats have had. But the thing is, he has now spent to much time making these terrible teeny-bopper pleasing songs that to make a credible song would distance himself from these kids. And to distance himself from them would be to distance himself from his wallet.

He has a cute voice when he sings, have you heard Hailies song.
His voice isn't cute.

I think he needs to get some new material. And some of the posts in here...

I won't argue the merits of him rapping, because to be honest I rather like some of his songs.

but you're applying terrible logic to the quoted statement. It's called a fallacy. Saying that "this is ok/allowed/accepted so that should also be ok/allowed/accepted" is not the way to argue something. Trust me, I got a lecture in that when I turned in my rough draft for my research paper.
