What are your thoughts on Eminem?

He rarely crosses my mind; but when he does, my thoughts are mostly favorable.

I can relate to his anger from a bad childhood and I appreciate his clever lyrics and complex phrasing. I disliked how publicly the drama with his wife, Kim, played out back in the day, so I tuned-out. I generally try not to feed the sensationalist celebrity-hyped media garbage. Thus I know little of what he’s been up to in the past decade or more.

He is one talented white boy! No bout adout it!

He was very popular about 10 years ago. Not sure what he’s up to now, as I don’t hear much. He was ok, not the best, not the worst.

I don’t agree. I think him pretty deep, and when he first erupted, nuanced far beyond his years. He’s another one of those “projects” worthy of research on my part. It’s just that there are too many of them.

I like his early “angry white boy” stuff. Now that he’s rich and famous, I’m not sure what he has to be so angry about.

I had the Slim Shady LP when I was 13 and listening to rap music mostly to piss off my parents.

The fascination was fleeting.

Vanilla Ice kicks his arse…only kidding, it’s good for morale.
The Beastie Boys are unsurpassable though.

Yeah, I don’t remember Eminem fighting for my right to party.

Ahem, do excuse me, I appear to have had a “moment” :D

I prefer MiraLAX.

Just like any artist, he was amazing and talented when he started, but gradually got worse once he got “big”.

I only go back and listen to his old stuff every now and then.

Plain or peanut?

I like him, and I like how he came from nothing to become what he is now. All hard work. Some of the stuff he sings about can be pretty deep, although I do find him kinda whiny at times. But he really did fight his way to stardom. And he writes all his shit. In fact, his main job these days is writing lyrics for other rap artists. That does say a lot.

I like his older stuff. I haven’t heard a lot of new stuff.
