There are 2 things I really dislike, one is rap/hip-hop and the other is whites trying to act black. Guess what I think about this idiot?
i dont have an answer to #1 as that's not arguable. #2 However, i disagree. He doesn't TRY to act black. It's the environment he lived (or made himself live in since he was comfortable there) in all his lifel That's how/where he was raised.
There's one fact that you can't deny (if you know much about rap) : He's damn good at what he does.

he just another kid who trying to live like a black men...
That Implies that the Rap calture is the way black people live and that's ignorant IMO. It's like saying that a black, college educated person, who speaks like a typical white person and who grew up in a middle class suburb is "TRYING TO BE WHITE!"

You'll guess Eminem is a person is twisted just from listening to his lyrics, but i dont know him personally to know at what extent he is twisted. you have to know that he doesnt say everything he raps about. I do admire him however for standing up to what he believes in. He never crumbbles to the media and others' pressure.
However, when it comes to Rapping, he's nothing short of brilliant. He knows what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. He's definately no idiot. His style is creative in many ways yet classical in other.
The more you listen to him the more you'll admire the work he put into the tracks and want to listen to more. I've collected most of his music (Eminem Show, Marshal Mathers LP, Slim Shady LP, 8-Mile ST, D-12 Devil's Night, G-Unit, Beg for Mercy, and a couple dozen of his mixtape tracks)
