I'm going to have to say CRAP. Not for any of the reasons stated above, and many of the not crap supporters make strong points for their statements.

I think he's CRAP for the sole reason that his rhythm and phrasing stink. Sorry, I'm just not impressed. He sounds like he's constantly stumbling through his words and just doesn't have good timing or control. It has nothing to do with his wit, intelligence, or beliefs - none of which really bother me much.

Of course, I prefer the type of stuff a guy like Redman does - where he's basically using his mouth to play Scottish drumming rudiments - fast and tight.

he's the new Johnny Rotten--the angriest man alive.

Yes, and 8 Mile was the new Taxi Driver.

True, but it's probably best to view him as a children's entertainer. When I used to work in a library his CD's were by far the most requested item for the under 15's.

They had that in the library? That's probably the worst thing I've ever heard. In fact, that's beyond wrong. The library is a center for learning, research and BOOKS. The library is not a place to listen to some white piece of shit talk how he hates fags. The library is a place to read some white piece of shit's misconstrued ideas about why it's okay to hate fags.

How did an entire forum overlook such a brilliant post for 3 years?

Hey, who listens to Cage? I think that guy's pretty great. Ooh, or Necro? Eminem's a total pussy next to Necro's The Sexorcist -- I can't even imagine what would happen if people who get outraged at GTA or Slim Shady hear that album. Yeesh.

This is a great, great film.

The day I misplaced my recorded VHS of this was a very sad day indeed.

I thought it was marginally interesting to hear him before he signed to Interscope:

Still, Eminem is crapola though.
