Ya know? :rolleyes: Did you notice most of his silly songs were at the beginning of his career? But now he's been producing some good songs.

I find his silly songs amusing and I think we should see them as his lyrics are portrayed as quite dark. He's successful, I don't mind him :)Quote:

Generally his sillier songs get released as they appeal to more people, and his best songs stay on the album only, which is good as then they don't get overplayed.Quote:

He's also not a fantastic lyricist. Many rappers have the same problem, and I'll admit he does better than many, but I still don't find him very inspiring. Then again, I listen to ICP and Twiztid when I listen to rap, and their lyrics are about as inspiring as caulliflower.
He's not a wigger though, he's stated many times that he doesn't care if people think rap is only for black people (which it certainly isn't). Good on him for that, even if he does make up stories about certain things (such as when he was interviewed on TV, he was asked about ICP as they grew up in the same area as Eminem, and he is quoted as then talking about beating up ICP all the time, when they never actually met..).

Quote Went Wrong ;s
I think his older material does, on Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady LP's, but on Encore, in the more serious songs his voice has really matured in songs like Mosh and Crazy In Love.Quote:

Amen to that.Quote:

Yeah it's an amazing track, and the video gives a very powerful message too.Quote:
