How is Eminem creative? He's not one of the most talented ever. He's a mediocre lyricist who stakes his reputation on being controversial. He does have an incredible flow though.

Uh, what does true rap mean? And how does naming a few songs make him creative? None of them have what you'd call inventive lyrics.

I dont find him horrible i just find him boring. He seems like hes constantly promoting the fact that he had a hard life too, to make up for the fact that hes a small white, blond hair dude. His work with d12 was the low point, besides that its okay.
But honestly, if he was a black man he wouldnt have half the audience he does. I dont know how many times i've heard "I dont really like rap, except for eminem cuz hes the only good one" |

I don't know if its a racial issue so much as it's a lyrical one. Eminem's lyrics appeal to whiny suburban dwelling teenagers who "hate their life." You don't hear 50 Cent whining about his parents constantly do you?

only rap I give any time to is
Jurassic 5 and T.I I don't really have the time to find other worthwhile Hip Hop artists since I inundate myself in a plethora of other genres of music buying 8-15 albums a month on average

But then again i dont want to make fun of eminem for doing this. I'd rather have him exaggerate whatever minuscule drama he had to go through as oppose to talking about street life =/ beastie boys ftw |

He has clarified in interviews that his usage of the word '***got' is hoodlum slang for 'derogatory remark', it's a general derogatory statement, and in no way refers towards a sexuality bias.
Also, he performed with Elton John at the Grammy's. I mean, what do you want him to do, make a homosexual sex tape, before you let him off the hook? |
