Eminem on tour in June 03, anyone still care?
I bought Eminem's first album in 1998. I went to see Eminem in 2001, had a good time.
But now his whole style of rapping is wearing a bit thin with me. Its always the same tough snare beat, and his unique style of ryhming (i.e. boring) Anyone still like him as much as when he first came out like 5 years ago? I reckon he needs to change his style a bit, evolve more than he has done, and quicker, otherwise we're looking at another samey 4th album. |

I'm not sure I'd bother to see him live, and I take your point about the style of music and rapping repeating old ground (you can hear it on Lose Yourself), but I think lyrically he's come on immensely. When I heard his first single, My Name Is, I couldn't stand the guy: it was just juvenile, shock tactic, everybody talk about me novelty record stuff. Stan changed my mind. Cleaning Out My Closet has a great lyric - it's great to hear someone writing something honest for a change, and although it's shocking, I no longer feel that he's trying to shock in the same way. I think that's actually how he feels. Makes for a better song - the lyrics and his rage are both expressed together, rather than his rage being used as an outlet to write a funny song that will get censored. He'll probably have to come up with something radically different soon to keep everyone happy - but I imagine he might do just that. I wouldn't write him off.

White America
If you need to hear how Mr Matthers has come along one only has to listen to the track "White America". Although I dont agree with everything the man says I think his shines through compared to most of raps "bling bling" mentality.
Have a look at http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/chan...tid=541&page=2 for a great write up on the man and his music and tell me he's not still relevant. (new to this and dont know how to put proper links in sorry!) |

Well, comparing any of his songs to My Name Is is a bit silly cos was def a novelty record to get him known.
![]() Lyrically he's spouting similar stuff, sure his message is *different* but it still makes for repititve listening. If he's got beef with the world, he should get on newsnight, if he wants to be a musician, then he should make interesting music, no? Theres plenty of non 'bling bling'/violent rap being made, and there was before Eminem came along

The only thing Ive liked of his recently is the rock mix of 'Cleaning out my closet'. |
