Eminem

Discuss.

[Uchiha_Itachi]

I dont care for his music. Are the rumors true that most of his songs are about rape, and drugs true?

[Shikamaru Nara]

Actually, a lot of his songs are about how crappy his relationships are. I'd link you to one song, but I'd get in trouble. Listen to "Kim" by Eminem, it says it all.

[Kiseki]

At least he is keeping his closet tidy ;)

That song gives me such an adrenaline rush Lol. I know what hes singing about is horrible but still. (I looked up the lyrics...just wow ) Thanks for informing me. He seems like a nice guy if you can get past what he sings about. Its just songs. The fact that he refered to adam lambert in his song elevator makes me like him even more.

[Shikamaru Nara]

He tends to put a lot of humor in his songs. xD

I thought he was being serious XD. I was like "Gosh, this man seems really violent."

[Shikamaru Nara]

I hate you! I hate you!
I swear to god I hate you
Oh my god i love you

[Hockey Otaku]

I do enjoy the music of Sir Mathers.
It's great to listen to when you're feeling down, but not when you're feeling...morally sound.

He also has alot of social commentary, mostly about the music industry and the media, but he does it in really clever ways.

[Slack 40]

Well I'm trying to learn this song

Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks

Two trailer park girls go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
Two trailer park girls go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside

Guess who's back
Back again
Shady's back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back

I've created a monster
'Cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, this is what I'll give you
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that'll jump start my heart quicker
Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the doctor when I'm not co-operating

When I'm rockin' the table while he's operating
You waited this long, now stop debating
'Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and *********
I know that you got a job Ms.Cheney
But your husband's heart problem's complicating

So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty, without me
So, (edited out because i don't know how to censor that eather way)
And get ready, 'cause this ****'* about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, **** you Debbie

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me
I said, "This looks like a job for me"
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me

Little Hellions, kids feelin' rebellious
Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feelin' like prisoners helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells, *****
A visionary, vision of scary
Could start a revolution, pollutin' the airwaves
A rebel, so just let me revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissin' my ***

And it's a disaster, such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ***
You asked for me? Well I'm back (nanananananananana)
Fix your bent antenna tune it in and then I'm gonna
Enter in, endin' up under your skin like a splinter
The center of attention, back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kid's ears and nesting

Testing, attention please
Feel the tension, soon as someone mentions me
Here's my ten cents, my two cents is free
A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me
I said, "This looks like a job for me"
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me

A-tisket a-tasket, I go tit for tat with
Anybody who's talkin' this ****, that ****
Chris Kirk Patrick, you can get your *** kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit ********
And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie
You 36 year old baldheaded ***, **** me
You don't know me, you're too old, let go
It's over, nobody listen to techno

Now let's go, just gimme the signal
I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes the **** just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting
But it's just me, I'm just obscene

No I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And used it to get myself wealthy
There's a concept that works
Twenty million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It'll be so empty, without me

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me
I said, "This looks like a job for me"
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me

He also has alot of social commentary, mostly about the music industry and the media, but he does it in really clever ways.

And on other people, for example. "Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady."

That was 'Just Don't Give A ****'

[Soccer Ninja 21]

Love his music, he raps about the real. He's not some poser who comes on the scene rapping about crap and drugs and realationships because it's cool. He's been there done that and his raps refeclt his emotions and his life.
I like his music and he's no poser.

You might get infracted unless you censor words like this.

****

[Slack 40]

I don't think all his songs are all trashy.
I mean look at Love the way you lie with him and rihanna. Some people think he's trying to say its cool to be in an abusive relationship but look at Rihanna getting hit by Chris Brown. If you ask me they are trying to say No its not good to be in this kind of relationship. My favorite songs by him are Till I collapse Love the way you lie and Without me

Chris Brown.

ooo see! That's exactly what I was talking about before with the social commentary and being clever about it! He takes alot of sh*t for being a white rapper in an industry that's predominantly black, so instead of saying "I'm a white guy who takes alot of sh*t" he compares himself to Elvis the backlash that Presley got when he was first starting.

oh ok i didn't know because I've seen some people not censor the word (other name for female dog) and just do the word but instead of i the make it !

'twas Chris Brown. xD

I totally approve of Love The Way You Lie until the part where he's like, If she ever tries to leave again I'm gonna tie her to the bed and set the house on fire.

Do you guys think he's being sarcastic and making a point to say that it's wrong, or do you think he would say something like that in a serious way?

he shouldn't have to take and crap for being a white rapper he's better then alot of black rappers

[Vex]

He's interesting. I like how he switches moods in each song. He can be funny, sexual, serious, etc.

I'm loving 'Love The Way You Lie' right now. xD

Came in here gonna say he wasn't my kind of artist, but when I remembered all of his songs I liked, had to change my mind.

@Hockey: My mom was like 'WAT' when she heard that part too. I listen to weird stuff so it didn't bother me. Eminem has had an interesting life, not sure he knows when he sounds a little edgy for some folk.

[Slack 40]

I think he's saying it in a serious way THAT ITS WRONG

oh ok Chris Brown *goes to edit post*

[Hockey Otaku]

My mom didn't get to that part, she turned it off. Can't stand that stuff. She needs to lighten up. xD

[Kiko-kun]

O.o I like Airplane.

[Kuromaki]

I like Love The Way You Lie & Not Afraid.
O.o I like Airplane.I used to love that song but now I hate it.. It's played so much on the radio nowadays.

[Danielle]

The new album is a lot better than the last one. He does well for his children even though he has trouble staying clean.

[Vex]

I used to love that song but now I hate it.. It's played so much on the radio nowadays.DUDE IT'S LIKE WE'RE RELATED.

[Kunoichi]

The new album is a lot better than the last one. He does well for his children even though he has trouble staying clean.
Yeah but the great thing about Eminem is that he knows his own short commings. He's fully admitted that his previous albumb wasn't up to par with the rest of his work. And anyone that can admit to that deserves respect.

[Danielle]

Oh for sure, he's very forward that's what makes him one of my favorite rappers.

[Kiko-kun]

I used to love that song but now I hate it.. It's played so much on the radio nowadays.
I don't listen to the radio cause I have an ipod so I don't have it on my ipod.. <<

[Monster Addict92]

Recovery:*Fart noise*
every other album:WOOT

[gama-sennin]

Each and every one of his albums is awesome. My favorites are without me, the way I am, beautiful, we made you, lose yourself, just lose it, slim shady, Mosh and more.......

[Monster Addict92]

my fave songs: 3am (Travis Barker Remix), Slim Shady, My name is, Encore, Conscious, Stan, Won't back down (only one i like out of Recovery), How Come (Ft. D12), My Ballz (Ft.D12), basically all the ones with D12 lol, My Darling

[Kiseki]

Haha D12. My salsa... my salsa-salsa-salsa-salsa-salsa, my salsa!

[Shikamaru Nara]

Don't you like how the radio screws every song in existence, Kuro?

[Shika-fiend]

LOL, I like some of Eminem's songs. He's one of the few rappers who truly "Keep it Real"

[Space Cowboy Sasori]

The only album I've only truly liked to no end is his 'Recovery'. I mean his old stuff is excellent and all, but Recovery was just great.

[The 1st Hokage]

Not afraid is my favorite song in thee universe. Discussion ended.

[Shino Hatake]

Em takes most of the Big name people out of the pic when he teams up with them. For example. Darkes Over,: Drake, Kayne West, Lil Wayne , Emminem, Em killed them all with his verses, The speed alone would top out Drake and Wayne. He leaves all in the dust. With a four man track he is the star with others tho. Rhina and Ems Track I love the way you lie was one of the best I have heard. Overall he is the faster I have heard. aster than TI sometimes even. His old music was some of the best he does. The real Slim Shaddy and we Made you was just killer funny. New style I give it to I am and Not afraid along with Love the way you lie.
