Eminem's a trip
Ok, I don't know what everyone's music preference is but this is pretty much for eminem fans and who ever cares.
Seriously though, he's a trip ain't he! He got such a unique perspective on the world and he ain't shy about giving you his opinion on it all. Pretty much every song has a beat that anybody can get into and the lyrics are always insane. I heard a little of his new album the other day and I'm gonna have to get it. Never ceases to make me laugh a little. Can't wait to get his new cd.
anybody else like him? If not, who do ya like

Funny you should mention this, Em is playing on my computer right now.
His new album Encore will be the best 15 bucks you will ever spend. Srsly. I have rocked it everywhere I go for weeks, and it's kinda become my therapy. I HIGHLY reccommend it for any Eminem fan and it's a good starter album for anyone who is not.
P.s. When you get it, you have got to rock tracks #6 and #20

I never could get into him...but I think it's an age thing with me. I don't remember being that angry at his age...ergo, the reason I don't particularly care for any rap/hip-hop music. Everyone seems so angry!
If anything, this country has gotten easier for the younger generation (computers, video games, school activities, schooling opportunities, cars...more kids have cars today than ever, money...parents make more money these days because the mom is working as well and some kids have more money than ever...etc., etc.,) and yet this generation is angrier than any generation before it. I dunno...I just don't get the anger. What is it that is lacking? Where does it stem from? What is everyone angry at?
Gimme heavy metal any day! Aerosmith, (old) Van Halen, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, and so on and so on. Oops...now you're gonna mention Marilyn Manson, ain't ya? LOL! OK...well, he's dark and strange but I don't feel the anger from him that I do from rappers.
Correct me if I'm wrong...and I'll stand corrected by your examples!

AWW Hell, you done did it now. Ok first of all I'll never turn down a good 70's rock hit. Lynard Skynard is like one of the all time greats, Free Bird!!!
"If anything, this country has gotten easier for the younger generation" I think that we (the younger generation) has a much less physically demanding life. Compared to the older generation, we're basically a bunch of lazy bums. HOWEVER, I think the mental stress put on kids nowadays is harder than ever. Back in the old days as a general rule there was a stable family environment. Now a days kids are left with more and more responsibility at a younger and younger age without much if any support from their family.
I guess it's hard for one generation to see from the other generations point of view. That anger that Em has is one of those things. He was raised with no dad, a fucked up mom, and in about as bad of a situation as he can be in. He had to find some way to deal with that reality and getting mad at the world was his outlet.
Another thing that's unique about Em is just because the lyrics are violent doesn't mean that he's trying to be violent. He just likes to fuck with peoples minds. If you actually listen to his lyrics with a sick kinda mindset he's funny as hell. Perfect example is where in one song he's talking about setting a guy's house then drive around and knock the hydrant off. Now that would just be a fucked up thing to do and some are able to have a sense of humor enough to find that funny.
But then again maybe it's just an age thing.

Must be, but what age I'm just kidding. No, I cant stand eminem. I like softer more girly stuff...Hmm, like the Maroon 5 song I have quoted in my signature.
