hippocampus Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 reminds me of my life. how i never backed down from authority. this probably isnt the song meaning but thats what it means to me. i really dont listen to eminem but this song just got me into it.
Salorskin Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I'm going to have to agree with Game Cop here, although I must admit I've never really cared for Eminem to begin with. I have a lot of friends that like his music, and they were all saying how "bangin'" his new album is... so I checked it out. GARBAGE is the only nice way to put it. And his "hit" single? Disturbing that it even made it to the charts... it's the same stale self absorbed nonsense Eminem is best at - from "The Way I Am" to "I'm Not Afraid." The album production is clunky and it seemed like everyone just knew Eminem was doing it to regain former notoriety and surface back into relevance since his "dark downward spiral" of feces known the world over as "Relapse." Haters gonna hate, and I rage over Eminem since I dislike the way he was packaged as a white rapper with a dark side and amazing backup by incredibly famous artists... and I don't care for the man's music at all. Lawl. I'm totally out of touch with the hip-hop scene nowadays, admittedly. I still listen to my stuff from late 80's through early 2000's... I'd have to say that DJ Quik and Hi-C are currently my attention holders (though I hardly listen as I'm more into... alternative genres).

PS, Don't direct me to Whiz, Cudi, Aesop Rock, Immortal Tech, Drake or anything in that vein, please. Murs seem interesting. Here's a Quik song I'm into:
Devia Eleven Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I would never put Drake or Kid Cudi in the same sentence with someone like Immortal Technique or Aesop Rock. You have me going crazy here.

You have me going crazy here. /artists I don't care about Oh ok, that's understandable. PS, Aesop Rock is the only worth mention and he has zero passion. Do not say otherwise to me, I have listened to him and have even written an essay on a song of his. I can listen to early Ice Cube and feel more entertained and politically knowledgable without AR in the picture. Hip hop just is shitty to me these days. Nothing is relevant and classic and angry and punk and charged and scary and criticized these days with serious force behind it. Edited December 17, 2010 by Salorskin
