Now you should edit this so that poeple can understand the point that you're trying to make, if there is one. And to help you, I will tell you that you need commas just about everywhere, and that my name has a capital R in it not a lowercase one. If you're going to address something to me, the least you can do is get my name right. And secondly I don't give a darn what you think about eminem. If you don't like them that's not my problem. But you have a major one if you can't type or use spellcheck on your computer. Peace out

Em's recent attempts at being political were more of a joke than Green Day's bubble gum take on the Bush administration. You can't just drop a verse like, "Fuk bush, bring the troops home" and suddenly be a political rapper. Dont get me wrong, Em has dropped some good verses in his earlier days (check out Hellbound, Murder Murder, If I Get Locked Up Tonite), but he has always been an icon for "rebel" teens who started with Britney and graduated to Shady. Just look at his current rhyme book. His lyrics are stale, repetitive, and in certain instances outright pathetic. Even for a white rapper, he receives too much attention. Check out Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, and Eyedea. They don't resort to shock tactics about killing your estranged wife to establish themselves as solid rappers/songwriters. I was able to de-code juggalo's post, and I agree with what he/she had to say.

I do not rescend anythind I said in my previous post. And the reason I'm writing this one is because sometimes I let my own ego and arrogance runaway with me.
So this one is for the juggalo dude. I kinda understand what's you're saying. But to be honest with you, people (or a good deal of them) are what my friend likes to call 'sheep.' They follow what they see everyone else doing without really knowing why they're following a trend or fad. And a lot of the people I go to school with are like that. Heck some of my friends are like that about some things. And I'm not trying to say I'm my own person as much as I'd like to believe that, and so I'm pretty sure I am just like everyone else in the sense that there are things I do that I probably do because other people do. To get to the point, yes Em is not the best rapper in the world, and I do have a personal rudge against him because you often hear about him making appearances on MTV instead of BET. And I dunno why I like him as much as i do. And I don't really care. I mean lets think about it. He is one of the many rappers today who thrives on the media who is at least half way decent. I'm sorry but I have a personal grudge against 50 cent and Jay-Z. And I don't consider 50 cent rap and you don't wanna hear my views on Jay. Eminem is one of the few rappers today who is in the media and who is commercial and who just about everyone knows and who is half way decent. Snoop doesn't count because can you actually call some of his latest songs rap? Dre hasn't put out an album in who knows how long. And yes I have seen Eminem in concert. Of course I also went to the concert because it featured Papa Roach. (It was an angermanagement concert) I also went because Limp Bizkit was there. but I'm straying from the point yet again. For starters I didn't and still don't care too much for your attitude towards my views on Eminem not that it matters to you since it barely matters to me. Secondly you obviously haven't met that many people if you haven't met a black fan of Eminem cause i know quite a few. Although most of the black people I know who like eminem usually like him because everyone else around thm likes him or because they see him as the only alternative when your other options are Jay-Z, 50 cent, Lil Bow Wow (who is not a rapper), Lil Zayne and all those other crazy people with Lil in their name, and lets not forget Cashmoney. And I think part of the reason you see white teenage girls at his concerts is because of the fact that Eminem is also currently one of the more attractive rappers out there. I mean take a poll and you won't even find a black chic who finds 50 cent, Jay-Z, and any other black rapper. I'm don't even pass for white most days of the week and I think Eminem is sexy. Whole 'sex sells' concept is no longer limited to Britney Spears (who is ugly), Avril Lavigne (who I loathe) and all of those other white chics out there who are in the pop industry. And I can't address the clothes issue because I don't understand what the hype is about du-rags, wife beaters, wearing your pants around your knees and stuff. if that is what you call trendy hip hop fashion then please don't show me what isn't trendy. Although I own about 16 wife beaters and most of them are black, grey, white and blue. And I'd much prefer to listen to Eminem than Jay-Z. I'm sorry my hate for him is just that strong. Peace out.

I'm not big on Jay-Z myself, but have you heard Reasonable Doubt? One of the best rap albums ever. Lyrically, I rather listen to what Jay-Z has to say over Em anyday.
Another good album: Doggy Style. I could care less what Snoop is doing now. I don't like 50 at all, but I understand his street cred, because Guess Who's Back had a few good cuts and Many Men & Patiently Waiting(which had your boy Em put a sick verse on it) make up for the rest of the crap on Get Rich or Die Trying. He's not even worth holding a grudge against, really.

And the fact that he can't rap and that he was shot 9 times and is still alive to make music because had I been given the opportunity to put 9 rounds in him I sure as heck would have killed him around the 4th one. The other 5 would have been for my sick need to see blood. And my grudge against Jay-Z is nothing really aside from the fact that his lyrics are not as hardcore as the rap I'd prefer to listen to which is why i prefer Eminem over Jay-Z anyday. Peace out.
