That figure comes care of Gracenote, a company whose window into computer users' listening habits offers a sobering look at the changing patterns of Internet piracy and traditional music bootlegging. Then again, Eminem's got it hard: he's rich, famous, white, and male.Well before rapper Eminem's new record hit store shelves Sunday, it had already become the second-most-played CD in computer drives around the world, according to one closely watched measure. And his protests that Slim Shady is just a persona become less convincing with each arrest. But the hatred in Eminem's rhymes makes the album rotten at its core. Of course, Eminem is an interesting, witty rapper, and there's some nice production on this CD, courtesy of Dr. Even sitting duck Puffy gets the kid-gloves treatment. He gives lyrical love to tragic (black) legends like Tupac and Biggie while dissing white rappers hard. But the blue-eyed brat is acutely aware of his status as rap's resident alien: he has the most offensive mouth running, but never uses the "N" word. On the Marshall Mathers LP, he's ambivalent about his fame, angry at his life, pissed off that people take him seriously, and fightin' mad at boy bands-and a lot of other white people. It's good old America's fault if the kids aren't alright (Eminem blames bad parenting), and he's just capitalizing on Uncle Sam's dark side. He refuses to take responsibility for the misogynistic, homophobic bile he spews, whining that he's the victim of people who don't get his unique sense of humor. Of course, according to Eminem, he's just kidding. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? On Eminem's sophomore album, he can't decide who he wants to be: the deranged pseudo-psycho of the Slim Shady LP, or a nice guy who just likes to rhyme about slicing and dicing his girlfriend ("Kim"). who can be consistant this long? look out for THE RE-UP. He brought hard on this album and you can hear his maturity from his last two cds. This is the best besides 2 pac music I have heard since janis joplin AND JIMI HENDRIX WHO MADE US FEEL THE MUSIC.īy #GMAIL (KEY LARGO FL 33937) plus u get lots of songs for ur money unlike cds coming out now with 11 songs on that garbage for 16 bucks. If ur looking for one cd to pick up that ur thinking of eminem get this one, probably is his best work. THIS IS A MUST BUY, AND A TRUE EMINEM FAN WILL HAVE THIS SITTING IN THERE CD STAND. This will arguably be the best album that he has come out with, It is very good, plenty of hot songs!ĮMINEM AT HIS BEST, HE KILLED EVERY SINGLE TRACK WITH ON POINT SHARP LYRICISM.
