EMINEM: Love him or hate him?

[CalebHayes]

explain...

[MrSlayer]

1. Indifferent to him.

I ignore him.

[Technowitch]

2. Hate him. Reason? Homophobic lyrics

Need a sample?

"My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That'll stab you in the head whether you're a fag or les
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-ves
Pants or dress
Hate fags? The answer's yes."

'nuff said. I will never EVER buy anything that man ever sells.

[DrWeird]

8. See, that's pretty funny.

Because the following stanza says that it's a joke, and that he's only saying it to see if you would take it out of context and get upset by it.

You got played.

[CalebHayes]

9. I remember him doing a performance at the Grammy's with...

Elton John, and afterwords giving him a hug. I don't think he is homophobic at all. I think he sells records.

[SeanQuinn]

10. Yep, he performed 'Stan'.

With Elton John..the song was about him killing himself and pregnant girlfriend while drunk.

[DrWeird]

13. No.

It was about an obsessive fan killing himself and pregnant girlfriend.

3. ohhhh shit

was this really necessary

[njdemocrat106]

4. I never cared for him from the get-go

I do realize he's a talented guy, and he did gain a little more respect from me after he released "Mosh".

[Swede]

5. Ambivalent.

But that's neither here nor there.

[Telly Savalas]

6. Does he take his kids to fancy restaurants?

[hangemhigh]

7. Hated him until I listened to him...

Now a big old fart fan. First you have to "get" the joke-and even if you don't-Brilliant Linguist.

[Dookus]

11. Love him

I really enjoy his music. People THINK they know what he's about just by hearing a few clips of his songs, but his stuff is much more multi-layered and complex.

He's a character playing a character playing a character. Some of his stuff is laugh-out-loud funny, and some of it's very powerful.

[DrWeird]

12. eh.

Don't care much for him as a solo act.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. He's very good at what he does...

but I'm just not that interested in what he's doing.
