Poll question: Eminem Rules/Eminem Sucks

[eleonora]

1. Neither?

I like some of his songs but I find him needlessly offensive.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. It's His Shtick (nt)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Anybody That Can Dump On Bush And Cheney To Packed Houses Rules (nt)

[AuntiBush]

4. What's wrong with...

having a multi-cultural rep. He did a good job w/Mosh for the pop-cultural youth.

[Az]

5. He doesn't suck, but ruling?

Na. Considering the state of modern music he is moderately intersting.

6. I'm Usually Not Into Setting Up Dichotomies...

But I wanted my poll to be polarizing....

[Az]

13. Not everything goes to poles

[Bok_Tukalo]

7. Beats me

Never heard any of his stuff.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. You Need To Listen To It...

Reject it or embrace it but at least know what's going on in pop culture...

[donheld]

9. Eminem

Who cares :shrug:

14. Too funny

Went looking for some lyrics to his music and got directed to a porn site.

Not much of a rap fan to be honest. I'm sure he has something to say but I would rather read it.

As far as American Pop Culture goes, I didn't even like it when I was a teenager. Then again, I was a teenager in the 80's.

I love his video, "just lose it" where he constantly makes fun of Michael Jackson!!! Funny!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Hope You Have Your Flame Retardant Suit On...

Some folks here thought it was offenive...


I think Michael Jackson invited it....

15. The Mosh Continues

If you didnt see Eminem's "Mosh" before the election, you gotta see it now. And for thoose who know what "Mosh" is all about.. there is new ending! So ya gotta see it AGAIN!

16. glad to see the eminem support

after mosh came out and he got the verbal shit kicked out of him on these boards, i had lost some hope. but this poll (so far) shows that it was just a VERY vocal minority.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. i missed that poll

i liked eminem before the mosh.....

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Sucks.

Can't stand him. Mosh was cool and all but by no means does it redeem him for being a self-righteous, overrated, misogynistic, homophobic asshole. "Schtick" or not, I can't stand it.

18. you must be one of those people

who reads one or two lines of his lyrics, takes them all out of context, and then passes judgement.

congratulations.

21. Some Of Public Enemy's Lyrics Are Homophobic...

And some of Snoop's lyrics are definitely misogynistic but they are emblematic of what's going on in the wider culture...


I doubt Snoop and Chuck D are homophobes or misognysts...

[Uzybone]

20. Rules. One of the top 10 rappers of all time IMO.

23. Loved his latest album
