Before Eminem made the movie 8 Mile about everyone hated him and they didn't want his music to be played. It was 'parellel to his life' so now people are going to be feeling sorry and happy for him and what not. Now all I hear is about how great that movie is and how much people like Eminem. Hmm ..

to tell you the truth i really dont have much of a problem with the guy. unlike almost everyother rapper out there, he doesnt annoy me to such an extent as to where i find myself saying that i hate him. the only thing that annoys me is his fans who play and request his songs repeatedly. i hear every new song he comes out with like 1000 times, everywhere i go and that tends to get irritating. but as far as the guy himself is concerned i guess i give him credit for and somewhat admire him for the bluntness in his songs and his strong tendency to just not give a shit.

you gotta admit he s different from the rest ( i mean most of his shit ACTUALLY makes sense) and i ll give him that anytime.

Yeah i have noticed that as well. Me i have only heard two songs by him. I'm not really a fan of his. Nore do i peak into his stuff. I do agree you there Vamptress. That ever since he came out with this movie. People have been going on about how great it is. While all he mainly did was played him self. Shit i could easily do that. How is it to act like Shocker!?! Then i could become famous and have everyone like me again. I don't know some people are strange about things. I don't understand what is so great about him know that people like. While they didn't before.

I like Eminem. I've always liked him because he can "flo'", nice beats, and its just great. I didn't like the movie, and I don't think Eminem can act. The only time I liked the movie was when he was rappin'. So ..yeah. But everyone else is going ape shit.

He's been rapping aboutr his life since he began and in the movie his character rapped about his life. Maybe now people will feel sympathedic to him? Wonder what would happen then ..

I think he has a whiney voice and the way he says clawzit bugs me.

I don't like him.
I seriously think he's been ripping off ICP.

hmm ..how so?

In his film he looks really vulnerable, before that he was just seen by some as a thug who's songs contained immense amounts of profanity. Its the fame game- first he was liked for his music and/or his 'bad boy' image, now people feel compassion and sympathy.

On another tack he's not going to be 30 next year is he? I heard that somewhere but last time I checked he was only about 24.

I would say he's in his mid-twenties ..I don't think he's going to be 30.

Good. I thought that was weird.

I seriously think he's not. I am a big fan of ICP, I definitely like them a lot more than Eminem, but I don't see how he's ripping them off. I must have missed something.

I really like alot of eminem songs but not as much as ICP, and I really don't understand how he could be rippin' them off when everything he does has nothing to do with what they do except that he raps and disses them in two of his albums. And I never went to see his movie, I know he can't act, in fact I don't even like him as a person, but I give him mondo credit for his best songs, which would be Rock Bottom, Drug Ballad, Kill You, and Criminal.

yea i'm a juggalo and i like eminem...in no way is he rippin them off

Em rocks, I think the reason why people like him so much is becasue he is a white boy in a black music industry, so therefore other white boys can legitimately like rap without being dissed as a wigga. Besides his music holds alot more honesty than the pop shit played on most radio stations, even thrash metal is more hollywood than alot of rap music is, and IMHO it requires alot more talent to rhyme like slim than to shout cliched lyrics gutterally into a microphone.
