Given the number of awards the guy gets, the number of albums he sells, and the number of cars I hear blasting Eminem music from their thumping speakers, I'd have to say yes, there are people who like Eminem.

Does anyone like Eminem? Perhaps the new movie that's coming out?

Eminem doesn't actually exist, he was created (much in the same way that mouse with the ear on it's back was) by an evil government conspiracy to lower the IQ of the average white male by at least 50 points.

Or maybe not.

he's getting better. i don't like him, but he does sing genuine songs, he's not like those rap guys who are filthy rich, and they sing about how poor they are and how they live on the streets and stuff... it's so pathetic

Post by: Fineus on October 08, 2002, 01:03:47 pm: No, instead he sings about how he hates pretty much everyone else who seems to be popular, kinda ironic really :wtf:

that's why i don't like him, because he bashes everyone! but if you listen to his new CD he's changed a little... he uses less bad words, and he talks about his child, instead of his enemies

EDIT: Thunder, download the "8 mile" trailer. i'll probably upload and link to the trailer and the song "Lose Yourself" when i get home

Post by: Fineus on October 08, 2002, 01:12:48 pm: Alright, I'll look for it on Kazaa later or something... I'm glad to hear he's changing though - at least I hope he is.
Title: 8 mile
Post by: Stealth on October 08, 2002, 01:14:14 pm: oh he's still bad... it's just that now one out of every three words is the F***, whereas it used to be one out of every two words :p

he's definately getting more... "mature"?

Used in the in the "23 year old boy racer on a supermarket car park" context I'm sure that he is "maturing" :)

Nah, I must admit that I don't mind Eminem so much, it's the majority of brainless morons that don't actually see that his lyrics aren't always to be taken at face value but take everything literally that bother me.
Title: 8 mile
Post by: Fineus on October 08, 2002, 01:19:50 pm: I'd like him for the same reason apart from as you say - people take it literally. It promotes stupidity and so I hate him and his fans.

Post by: Ulundel on October 08, 2002, 01:53:39 pm: I remain totally neutral. He's just...interesting
Title: 8 mile
Post by: Galemp on October 08, 2002, 02:25:21 pm: What music I've heard of his I actually like. Particularly Hailie's Song; doesn't it sound like a good Freespace song, something Alpha One would sing? I mean it! Listen to the lyrics:

Quote
Some days I sit , starin' out the window
Watchin' this world pass me by
Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live for
I almost break down and cry

Sometimes I think I'm crazy
I'm crazy, oh so crazy
Why am I here, am I just wastin' my time?

But then I see my baby
Suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes

Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leanin' on me
'Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me

Now I've only heard what's on the radio, so I haven't heard his more controversial stuff. But he has good tunes (not just THUMP THUMP THUMP) and sings emotionally.
Title: 8 mile
Post by: Stealth on October 08, 2002, 04:08:26 pm: Hailie's song is awesome! so much soul! :D

i don't admire the way he "disses" everyone, but his songs actually have meaning... forget the beat, listen to the words.

Nah. I don't think Eminem is competing for Mr. McGonnagal. ;) Now, Nellie on the other hand...

Post by: Stealth on October 08, 2002, 08:40:07 pm: i don't like Eminem, it's as simple as that. but he has one or two NEW songs that are pretty cool! the old "will the real slim shady please stand up" song and 99% of his songs suck you know what!

Hailie's song, Lose Yourself, and even Cleanin out my closet is pertty good
Title: 8 mile
Post by: Knight Templar on October 08, 2002, 08:55:14 pm: Meh, alot of my friends like hium. I have the new cd (burned of course).. haven't listened to it. I liked the songs mentioned before.. old to me now though. The demo of "Dream On" is sick tho. I hate his single though.. i liked it before people who weren't even his fans before played it on repeat everywhere all the time (i think it's called "Without me" or something)

when he brings out something new i hear.. then i might like him. right now, Dre and Diddy are still better, even Nelly. :) (when he does stuff with Dre. thats cool.)

On the subjet of Rappers, who here are Biggy Fans?

Post by: delta_7890 on October 08, 2002, 08:55:52 pm: Three words: Rap is horrible. Even worse when a white boy tries his hand at it. I mean...he's even worse than Vanilla Ice. Okay...maybe that's going a bit too far..

yup!

i didn't mean this to be a discussion of Eminem, because a flamewar will start... i wanted it a discussion of his movie.

but i agree with you... overall he does suck, and i don't like him

Firstly: That's just crap. It's still illegal, it's just that the record companies don't care if you delete it after seeing if it's worth buying.
Secondly: Breaking Gamespy T&C's does not equate to illegality. IE, even if it's not illegal, you'll probably still get owned.
Thirdly: That smiley is ****ing sick.

Firstly: I know it's still illegal, but it's not if you delete it after 24 hours... well, not AS illegal.

The level of "illegality" doesn't matter. We don't want discussions on the subject, much less people actually posting links to illegal content. Please don't do it again.
