I'm not really. I mean I agree about his delivery and whatnot but his lyrics are just kind of about some blue collar weirdo with a vivid and obscene imagination who knows how to express himself fluidly. And I don't know why he should need anything else. I mean what are your standards for lyrics? If he can't compete with Robert Frost then that's fine so long as he can express himself fluidly, creatively, and charismatically. I mean someone with his personality expressing himself in a more intellectual manner might conflict with who he is probably and fail to do anything but impress people who aren't interested in the expression of people of his class.

For me to appreciate someone's lyrics they (generally) have to hold up on their own without the aid of delivery, and all of these examples you posted in addition to what I've already heard are just...boring. I don't disagree that he's an expression of his culture, but so is WWWP covering hip hop songs on a ukulele and I don't have to care about either.

I don't think his lyrics necessarily need his delivery. I mean that line I posted I legitimately think is fun and clever all by itself.

Leaving you in the aftermath of holocaust and traumas
Cross the bombers
We blowin' up your house, killing your parents
And coming back to get your foster mommas

"Cross the bombers" is obviously a throwaway line, but coming back to get your foster mommas is a clever little addition I wouldn't think most people would be capable of coming up with and it sounds unique and has all of Eminem's personality with all of his childish nihilism and spite. It's not poetic, but it's cool in the way that Slayer is cool but in a smirking way I wouldn't think Slayer capable of.

A lot of Em's best lines have a malicious smirk embedded into them and whenever I get that feeling I smile.

I mean if it just doesn't appeal to you then okay but you have to admit that the kind of lines that Em delivers aren't delivered by anyone else nearly as well. Some of my fav **** off Relapse.


"Did you get him?" Naaw, ****er tried to bite my face off
I just got ****in' chased off with a chainsaw
Then he took the chainsaw, bit the ****in' blades off
Ate the blades, stuck a baseball in a slingshot
Then he aimed at his own face, let the thing pop
Took his eye out, picked it up and played ping pong
Then he played ping pong with his own ding dong
That mother****er's got nuts like King Kong
Then he set the lawn mower out on the dang lawn
And he laid all up underneath it with the thing on
Then he took his pants, he took every ****in' thing off
Everything, except his tank top and his training bra
Ain't he raw? Yeah mainiac, that's Shady dog
Man that mother****er's gangsta, ain't he dog
Shady dog, what be going through that ****in' brain of yours
Say no more, what the **** you waitin' for, sing along


Ain't nobody who can say so much stupid **** so brilliantly.

Yeah see you clearly just aren't on the right wavelength. Don't worry, you're just not mature enough to connect with this level of immaturity.

If Em's lyrics get your rocks off then IT should be right up your alley
