When I said I wasn't going to post anymore I lied. Thought I wouldn't have anything else to say but I do so...
Son, I wasn't mad at all actually. I'm not going to get steaming over some internet quarrel... heh thats lame.
Anyway I'd like to add that its not so much about the words use but more importantly how they are used.
If Eminem uses the words fart, slut, tylenol, ampersand, dishwasher, homo, shit, fuck, bum bum, whatever in a rhyme it makes no difference. It has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the patterns and connections made between any set of words.
So that being said, you are off base when you say his content is stupid so he isn't good at what he does.
Words are subjective and cannot be compared in value.

dont put the new em in the same bag as the new mos.
mos has grown, and you can tell that he did it by himself.
eminem's growth, on the other hand, seems contrived, or awkward, or wrong... or something. (not good)

I'm not puttin them in the same bag, sorry, just a statement that both records are poop. mos def must be smokin' crack or wearing too many tight fur coats...

And Eminem doesn't rap for pop charts entirely. He knows how the game works and caters to that aspect of it...
Not all of his songs sound like Just Lose It. If you care to see what I'm talking about get his album and listen to Mockingbird, Yellow Brick Road, Crazy in Love and Evil Deeds.
And I'm sure you've heard Mosh. That is obviously not intended to make money or to score high on the pop charts...
read about that shit here if you like: http://www.gnn.tv/content/eminem…

he also did a couple of good guest spots a few years back with a group called "old world disorder" but those tracks were actually well produced..

I can maybe understand any problems you would have with Eminem because his content is controversial and he seems to piss certain people off/ annoy them everywhere he goes...
but MosDef? Are you serious because that is one of the most progressive hiphop albums out right now.

i agree with you on the Mos record RekabEkim.
some truly great tracks... although i couldve done a bit less with the rock stuff... but there's certainly some gems on that record.

I actually liked the rock hybrid. I don't listen to much besides rap but I appreciate all types of music.
That is what I love about hiphop though... how it can be seamlessly interchanged with any other genre and form a fresh new sound. Hiphop rocks...

you guys have to expand what yer listening to. I listened to the album 3 times yesterday, thinkin' I was missing something, but nope.
1. He needs to stop trying to sing, it's not working
2. He needs to stop rehashing the same rhymes he's been using on guest spots
3. I don't know who he's working with production wise but he needs to get back with Kwelli and Hi-Tek, but actually they don't want to.Anyhow, it's just my opinion, which also puts the Roots latest record in the "disappointing" pile...so whatever, we can agree to disagree.
- mrdobolina0
yes, he raps for the pop charts.

mrdoboblah: using your brain when you post won't hurt you. I promise. Hey you might even be able to gain something from the conversation.
Okay so Mos Def and the Roots are dissapointing?!
I'm so curious what you are into man? What you think is hot right now in hiphop?

2nd half of that last post was to snuggles.

I just posted what I'm listening to.

"And I'm sure you've heard Mosh. That is obviously not intended to make money or to score high on the pop charts..."
you think?
- RekabEkim0
Read the article I posted man... the song is important and I read that he felt it was something he needed to say to people, something he had been thinking about for a long time.
Its marketing on the radio, mtv, etc. in necessary to reach the masses... so no I don't think it was written to make a profit at all. All I know is what I've read and heard in interviews but Eminem seems to be pretty down to earth. He lives humble compared to what he could spend money on for one. Just his general attitude off the mic leads me to believe he's got a good heart and only making music because he loves to entertain people...

haha 16million and 2 typos in that last post.
