Marshall Matters - Eminem

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

No, every album has it's silly songs. His new albums like Encore and Eminem Show still have them. Encore has "Big Weenie" and "A*s Like That" and Eminem Show has "Without Me" and you could say "My Dad's Gone Crazy" is a sillier song. 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.

Eminem's a good rapper in that he can rap quite fast, but I find his voice extremely annoying. He sounds like a 10 year-old on helium with someone holding his balls in a vice.

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..).

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.

He hit puberty quite late on then. Also, he should stick to the rapping, and leave singing to .. well, singers. His voice may well be annoying when he raps, but it gets somehow more high-pitched and off-key when he sings. Kudos to him for trying though, successful man apart from the singing.

Amen to that.

Actually I must say, I do like "Mosh". Just love the rhythmical structure of the verses, really punches out the words.

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