Is Eminem supposed to be a tough guy? Please explain his street cred to me. Because he looks and sounds like a pissed off 12-year-old.
for one of the top hip hop artists in the world, he seems very low key. i'm not even a fan of hip hop, but i love his music.
^ LOL - nice. :grin: HEY WAIT A MINUTE ARE YOU TRYIN' TO SAY THAT IF I SCREAM IN ALL MY SONGS AND I RHYME INCOHERENTLY AND WITH JUST SOME DUMB LYRICS I CAN ALSO BE A HIP HOP RAPPER GUY WHO PEOPLE WILL LIKE? (haha!) F* DR. DRE, HE'S LOCKED IN MY BASEMENT THE MOMENT, YOU OWN IT YOU BETTER NEVER LET IT GO PLEASE STAND UP PLEASE STAND UP.
He's the one rapper that makes self-deprecating jokes about himself, while most others just rap about how tough and great they are. I loved that Chrysler Superbowl commercial he was in.
I think you mean spelling Nazi. It's OK. It's the first law of the internet that if you blatantly correct someone, you make a mistake IN that correction.* *unless you are Swoly-D
I'm not saying that the guy isn't talented in his craft. I never typed that. What I'm saying is that he's pushed as this tough rapper, to my eyes. Do a Google image search of the guy and tell me that most of the pics don't come off as 'I'm a tough guy' pics.
was edgar allan poe tough? no. But he was tormented and that's something that appeals to people, something they can relate to. When you're tormented, trying to find yourself, it usually leads to good work whether it's in literature, painting, theatre or music. Rap pushed me away about 8 years ago, but I still love this guy's music.
