  Eminem is awesome.... powerful lyrics and music.... or rythm.... I get goosebumps and my heart races when I listen to some of his songs. And I am 50 years old. I must admit the underlying anger is troublesome. I took my kid to see his movie, 8 mile. That was something... They did not let older teenagers in if they couldn't prove they were over 17 y.o. and if they were not accompanied by a parent or guradian.... but they let much younger kids in because a parent was with them.... Gosh there was a 3 y.o. in front of us, he was very upset with some of the images....

  I think lyrically he IS very brilliant.

  But my GOD he needs better production musically. His beats SUCK IMO. They lack what true hip-hop/rap is based off of - SOUL.

  And him being white is not an excuse, cuz the Beastie Boys kick ass.

  I'd NEVER buy his cd's for my kids, if I had any. When they turn 18 they can get whatever they want, but his lyrics are not suitable material for young minds, IMO.

  Some of his lyrics are extremely TWISTED....

  And we wonder why violence is such a big problem in this country. Look what the kids are influenced by, and what the media promotes.

  There's your answer.

  Rap and Hip Hop doesn't have to be so demoralized. There's a ton of underground "concious" hip hop that gives a better message, and deep, soulful grooves as well.

  You can't knock Em's lyrical prowess. He's probably one of the best ever. I just can't relate to a lot of the things he talks about. I mean the dude has an absolute hatred for his mom, which is something that I cannot even begin to fathom. Also, he beefs with boy-bands and Christina Aguilera. Although I did hear the exchange between he and this guy Benzino from Boston. Em's answer was aiight. The Stan song was dope but again the subjuct matter, imo was a little off base. I haven't ever heard of a hip-hop fan taking his infatuation with anyone to that level, but that's just me.

  They lack what true hip-hop/rap is based off of - SOUL.

  Hey, back2dafront he produces most of his own stuff now. Did u have the same feeling when Dr. Dre was behind the boards?

  Bigboi,

  Ahhhh...that's what the deal is.

  (I don't keep up much with the mainstream stuff).

  Yeah, Dre's stuff thumped (as usual)...i can understand his desire to produce his own stuff, but....his style is really weak IMO.

  He's as awesome as Vanilla Ice and deserves just as much success.

  HAHAHAHAHAHA
