Which nerve did Failmitter touch for you?

GM?
Detroit Lions?
Eminem?
Success stories?
Detroit as a source of success for anything?

Hey, at least Motown Records is still on a hot streak.

His time as passed and he doesn't realize it.

In his case from threatening to banal in ten years.

This is why he's popular in Michigan.

Seriously, it's getting sad in this state. Most of the rock stations are now foaming over Eminem and Kid Rock despite the two being pathetic jokes. Once it was somewhat cool because it showed that even the most narrowminded white Michigander could appreciate sampling and some instances of hiphop/rap culture. Now, it's just a sign that they don't know when to let go of a trend. It's pretty pathetic now to see WRIF and the like just start harping ON AND ON about Eminem and Kid Rock like it's 2003 all over again.

Michigan needs a new infusion of blood in so many ways.

when I see him now I can only think back to the Hollywood Minute with David Spade where MC Hammer's picture came up and Spade just hummed the beat to Can't Touch This, but instead of saying those words of the chorus sang "It's over"

it's like their sister station out here, KLOS is turning into Dead Hippie Storage with Jim Ladd reminiscing how he stopped the Vietnam War from the studios of KMET

You're talking about him like he's Vanilla Ice or something. I think Eminem has been pretty important in hip-hop.

I thought Eminem and Kid Rock beefed with Insane Clown Posse -- and Everlast -- more than with each other? I don't even know anymore. Kid lost me when he did the Bush II inauguration and Pamela Anderson. Having a black son does not give him a ghetto pass out of white trashdom.

As for Eminem, I'm just not feeling the single that's out. It sounds dated, in a bad way. Snoop Dogg 'Sexual Seduction' -- example of dated, good way. This new song, wack. When Em was on he was on. Then I heard he was buying other people's rhymes once he got big, and that made me feel sad.

Lisa Ann is a beautiful woman. Shame about the painfully fake tittay balls. They detract. She seems to be humble instead of a raging diva, at least, so she gets points back.

Dude, that ship has sailed.

And sank.

I found my copy of the Marshal Mathers LP last month and listened to it. It's not quite as cool as I remember it. It is terrible. What used to be "clever" and "raw" has become "uninspired" and "cheap"

/mc chris ftw

 
deevo 2009-04-13 01:32:10 AM  
His flow and his lyrical stylings on The Slim Shady LP and especially on The Marshall Mathers LP were truly something to behold back in the day. If he stopped after The Eminem Show, he still would've gone into rap history a legend.

Encore was farking awful. He's sounded like he was OC'd out on half the tracks he's been on in the last three years. His time has long passed. If I listen to Relapse, it will be out of nostalgia and curiosity, and I've no idea that I'll ever get through it.

You have may missed it the first time then. Eminem is going to be remembered for his style, his lyrics, his introduction to a new way to thinking about music. He's already put himself in the same atmosphere as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart.

The only thing stopping him now is Kanye.


I wrote an original reply to your post, then I realized that you compared Eminem to classical composers. I think I just got trolled, and I almost took the bait.

9/10

/you'll have to excuse my friend- he's a little slow.

Eminem made his contribution to hip hop already. It was a major and lasting one.

Fine. Now go be with your kids like you were constantly rapping about all through the last 3 albums for gods sake.

 
Meretrice 2009-04-13 02:37:42 AM  
I guess I'm just silly for reserving judgment on Eminem's continued relevance until AFTER I hear his new album.

Eminem's new single sucks. That is all.

 
MilesTeg 2009-04-13 11:07:53 AM  
Well he did throw a cutting edge bash at Palin in there. Creative and timely output like that can't help but sell a few CDs to the trailer park and liberal unwashed masses.

Wow, I was about to write this exact same post, thanks for saving me the time.

Also, if his first new single says anything about Relapse its that he is leaning more towards the shiattyness of Encore instead of going back to the greatness of The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP.

 
Pengfish 2009-04-13 01:03:11 PM  
Meh, Detroit gave us Dilla at least.

 
FreeLoveFreeway 2009-04-13 01:06:21 PM  
Eminem's album better be good. He's already known for having awful singles created to get kids to buy the damn CD. The lead off singles from his albums have been the musical equivalent to an episode of TMZ or "Epic Movie".

Do you remember the first single from the Slip Shady LP? The first single from the Marshall Mathers LP?

Come on Em: Nailin' Palin? That was relevent, what, six months ago?

A parody of Jessica Simpsons cover of "Boots"? Welcome to 2005.

And who takes Lohan seriously these days? Why don't you take on a celebrity we actually care about?

I thought Eminem was supposed to be edgy. "We Made You" sounds sterilized.

They were the worst songs on the album, but weren't horrible. This song is horrible and he does that BS rhyming style that he used on "Ass Like That".

Its difficult to describe, but it just has the same feel and sound as every song on Encore. And that sucks.

Remove all Republicans: Billygoat Gruff: More like Kwami Kilpatrick successful.

Kilpatrick did a fine job with the city. He kept the streets safer and kept the government from becoming an embarrassment. He also had the good sense to endorse Barack Obama when everyone was afraid too. If only the Bush administration would have left him alone. Having an affair is not illegal and does not warrant embarrassing a sitting politician.


Is being an ignorant idiot a little, really, or extremely hard?

/Kwami = younger less intelligent version of Coleman.
//Don't even get me started on Obama. At the rate he is handing out money along with his trying to take over privatized business's we are all doomed for a socialized country.
///Wake up people we need less big government not more. Answer me this, what has the government ever run efficiently?
////Looks like Agenda 21 in action. After the government is done destroying our nation they will own over 50% of the land as they intended to do in the first place. Well on their way to completing their diabolical plan. Muuwwhahaha! I'm not exactly joking either. I can hardly wait to see how they stop hyper inflation from coming as they print more and more currency and continue denying a world currency and government (when was the last audit of Fort Knox? It won't matter because it won't be made public, our currency is based on trust not anything substantial such as gold or silver).

Kilpatrick thought he was above the law. Maybe; but nobody is above a woman scorned, especially a woman who's a mental ghetto hoodrat who thinks money equals class and a title equals the right to treat people like peons and dirt -- a woman like Mrs Kilpatrick (or so I've heard). It's sad that lying about using city property for his text message affair brought him down, and not the dead hooker.
