Eminem
 

I am just curious how many ppl like or dislike Eminem...?

I like him.. I feel he has some deep lyrics

My thoughts about Emimem are mixed. Some of his music is very deep and touches the soul, but a lot of the time I think he says things just to get a reaction. I know he's not afraid to say what's on his mind, but I think some of what he's saying is exagerated by him. But his music is creative and hard hitting. Of course we have Dre to thank for that, but actually I've heard his stuff way before he was with Dre and before he was known and that stuff I think is his best work. He was so real in his rhymes and his delivery. I think he's gotten a bit commercial lately and I wish he would go back to his roots of rhyming. I think he's moving back in the direction of making his music less commercial and more real, but we'll have to wait for his next album. I'm looking forward to it.

He's atleast something original. Not really my style though, but he did create his own 'thing'.

Although like Skanky said, I think he says half of the garbage he says to get attention and a reaction. Just like his buddy 50 Cent and the deal with Ja Rule.

Well....

Like his old songs were just woah.. but his latest songs are something else. Even if you ask me.. 'Kim' which is said to be the most ill song ever, is very deep... I think it holds great meaning. He is showing how much it hurt him that his wife had cheated and left him for anthor guy.

'so long bitch ya did me so wrong
i dont wanna go on living in this world with out you'

To me, I may only be 16 but I can fully understand that emotion.

Eminem is an amazing writer! n i like most of his music! but i dont like some of his stuf thats just bout sex n **** like that i like his music that has meaning!

If 8 mile was really how his mom was, then the boy has got problems complaining about his mom. Sure she was poor and not the best but she gave him a car and crap. That is only if that is how his real mom was.

the movie wasn't all based on his life.... :( from what i've heard he had a pretty rough up bringing

I bet his life wasn't half as bad as millions of people's lives are. He just got lucky enough to get famous complaining about it.

you mite be rite... but who knows! n if he had a good up bringing then isn;t that up to him to lie bout it?? i like his music i'm not his biggest fan never will be...

Yeah, I only heard parts of it were. I never saw it, but I actually heard that he acted pretty well. Did you see it?

yeah i did, i didn't like it all that much... i went with a mate n he loves rap n all that **** n i was just talking to him n he wanted to get masking tape... n normally i'm really quite at the movies...

Were you talking? Laughing? Crying? :)

taking the piss outta my friend cos he was like wow that is so cool... n i didn't think so...

Oh, okay. :) I nearly got the movie earlier today to watch tonight, but I got Bad Boys 2 instead. I thought the first one was funny, so we'll see with this one.

Dont bother the movie was terrible. The only reason it did so great is because of who was in it. His mom in the movie was hott though (Kim Basinger) lol.

i aint seen bad boys 2 yet but i wanna

im mixed on eminem too...he has some great things to say, but i think his music is WAY too commercialized, and is more based around the fact that he is a white rapper than a good rapper...but some of his songs are DAMN good

I agree with you too. A lot of his stuff wouldn't do well if he wasn't a white rapper, but a lot of his stuff is incredible. So, I guess we just have to take the good with the bad.

8 Mile.. sorry Em, your a great rapper, but seriously was more hyped up then it lived up to be for me. The only parts I loved was the free styling parts.. other then that it was OKAY.. not great. Sorry

I really liked that movie...it's worth watching.

Such as? What couldn't he do if he wasn't white?

Good...but can he keep it up?
 

I think Eminem is the man. I think it's funny how he pisses everyone off so often, and yet I think that while his lyrical content thus far has been outstanding, it's going to be tough for him to come up with such ingenuous stuff for his next CD...but if he does, my faith in the Eminem movement will be rebolstered. As of right now, I'm getting somewhat tired of hearing him on the radio...his voice is a little high for me........

Hes ok... Hes a good rhymer and he can write like no one else, but alot of his stuff is garbage and useless.

Eminem Sues Apple, MTV Over iTunes Ad
 

Link: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=4427549

Never noticed his song in the ad....but if they didn't get permission then that is his own right.

lmao a program that leagally downloads music is sued for copyright infringement...how ironic.

Gotta love america.

Kind of stupid on Apple's part though.

See what i don't get is,how does a rap star claim that he owns the rights to the records when surely somewhere he has sampled someone elses music and incorperated it as his own?

D12's My Band featuring Eminem
 

This song is HOT! I just watched the video over at launch.yahoo.com and the video is amazing too. I don't like much of D12's stuff, but I was definitely feeling this. :yikes:

Yea i told you foold like a month ago that this **** was goona be hot anbd noone believe me

True, true... this is hot.

Meh.. its alright, definatley better than what I expected from Em or D12 but it seems like Em's going back to the stupid little joker rapper when he was finally gaining some cred.

I liked the little sombrero skit at the end of the video though.

Although that Janet Jackson paradoy was just... weird.... :|

how is it featuring em? I thought he was a part of d12?

Hate it...Eminem is the biggest underachiever i have ever seen. He is capable of so much more.

I think thats part of the message of the song, he's put on a higher pedestal than the band, so its as if they have to feature their own band member

u cant say he has under achieved, if u achieve half of what he has in his life you will be the happiest man alive. but.... i have no respect for eminem. he is the fakest person i have ever heard of and he is so corney. he's a good rapper yea. but if he wernt white he'd be no better off than someone like P.Diddy. hu is big, but not to the excess of eminem.

i cant believe i'm talking on the rap forum.

^^If you have ever heard Eminem's early stuff you would agree that he is definatly underacheiving.

I still can't see how any real Hip Hop Head would like this sh*t.

Its like some guy i heard on Flow say..

"You can fool the Record labels, but not the street fame."

He may be rich outta his ass, but to true authentic listeners hes a joke. Not even to be taken seriously.

^^Realest sh*t i have ever read on here, ever

thats some **** if ive ever heard it.. every head i know and respect in real life has nuff respect for eminem for what he brings to the game every ****in day... if you cant see that he is probably the most talented rapper alive at this point in time, youre dumb

maybe he doesnt always exploit his talent but if he did, hed kill you and your top 5 mc's guaranteed
