eminem, more than a rapper

Tweet

for any fan to love eminem and his work, this is for you. i started to listen to eminem when i was 15 years old (around 2001). the first album i bought was the Marshall Mathers LP. i was so moved by his music that i devoted some time to jot down the lyrics or find them from song magazines. i loved em's songs simply because they depict me and some part of my life along with it. it may be that i'm exaggerating but, as i believe, eminem is a good philosopher in his own right (a realist). he has created music not to simply entertain but to expose reality - the reality of real life. he also touched peoples' lives in such a way that he boosts one's morale such as mine (when i had my tough calls way back). he inspired me to intellectually grow and rationalize events as they happen and understand what kind of milleu we really are in. when he laid back to avoid issues and to protect his daughter, i was glad for him. i think that's manly of him. i would have had done the same if i had a kid. reality they live in is too harsh to for haillie to have a glimpse on, i believe. well, i'm saying this stuff because they are relative to me, my experience an wisdom. i really don't expect others to understand me, but i just wanted to voice out my opinion.
