I like the one with Dido’s song in it, stan??. Another one I find funny is erh.. I think the one he is dressed like batman (or robin?) in the video, where he sings the “nananana”
(don’t ask me to remember the titles..)
btw, anybody knows why he’s called like this?

aprilsnow i agree, i just think its really degrading of women. What would people say if some female rapper brought a song out called ’c*ck like that’

Although i hate this kind of music, i liked a couple of the singles he had near the start of the career and i actually bought one of his albums. However, I think i only listened to it once. I found it quite disturbing actually, especially one song which was about killing his wife or something....it was full of a woman screaming and begging for her life in the background while he was rapping about slitting her throat. Some people might call this creative genious, but i would rather call it sick. Needless to say i wouldnt buy another record by Eminem

Shall we compare Roxette to Eminem?? His new video for Ass Like That has got puppets like Real Sugar. The song is absolute rubbish though!

No melodic originality, and vulgar lyrics.... very primitive artist whose only talent seems to be his ability to make money off of dumb teenagers.
The Author of the topic is from Germany, well....
In 1994 Marky Mark (Wahlberg) got together with Jamaican rapper Prince Ital, and with German Producers Alex Christensen and Frank Petersen, and they created a Great Rap/Disco Anthem called “united” and a Great album called “Life In the Streets”. Now that’s what I call great Orginal music that incorporates rap :)
Way to go Mark! Maybe if Eminem goes to Germany he will find some good music. Get talented german writers to write it for him

mark whalbers was a violent criminal when he was young and a racist and he still is a very big homophobe just because he didnt curse doesn’t mean marky mark is just as talentless as eminem you want progressice socially concious talent filled hip hop / rap music buy any of pm dawns albums they were innovators that will never ever get the credit they deserve

Coyboyusa...
first listen to “Life in the Streets” album.... no homophobe and racist lyrics there that you will find.
Even his “Good Vibrations” song with funky Bunch had clean lyrics.... and original melody... sonething that Em never had, and probably never will
Homophobe and racist..... those might be rumours....and even if they are Not, they were not explicitly expressed in much of his music

Mark Wahlberg is good eye candy...i certainly wouldnt say no. I think his music was overly crap though
LaMan said on August 6, 2005 19:53:
do you really think Mark W is homophobe? I think he said he has nothing against his working out videos being played in gay bars :=))

He = a total jerk!
He brought all the troubles he has himself!
And his latest single is the worst piece of crap he ever put on the market..I mean hello - Triumph? He got upset with the dog at VMAs one year and now he just has to have the thing in his video. I mean Triumph equals a saint - and now Mister M is spoiling all the fun! God damn him!

when mark whalberg was 18-21 he spent time in jail for narcotics distribution and nearly beating an asian man to death. he belongs to a group of white pride people in boston where he lives, the man is a big hypocrite

Marshall Mathers, aka EMINEM, is a talented artist who has found at a young age, and has successfully exploited, his medium: rap (hip-hop).
Whether he will endure, is another question. At one time, the Beatles song “Yesterday” was the song most recorded/performed by artists other than the originators. How many other artists have adapted, or re-recorded, or otherwise performed their own versions of any of Eminem’s songs? His audience is extremely narrow and selective, and is not prone to reproduce any of his music.
Think about – oh, for example, let me see... Ah! – Per Gessle. On this very site we celebrate the adaptations of his songs by other artists. His writing is lasting and universal. Consider Gessle’s lyrical simplicity in works such as Church of Your Heart:
Can’t we leave the world outside, just for a while?
Just for a while?
And spend some time, you and I,
Under this bright, glorious sky....
This sort of lyricism, simple as it may be**, leaves hip-hop hacks like Eminem trailing in the dust.
His movie “8 Mile” was interesting... but, there is a point where your hear him, a 26-year-old adult, saying after a mistake, “My bad,” and Marshall Mathers immediately loses all credibility.
** Try yourself, to compose something this simple – “under this bright, glorious sky” – yet so beautifully compelling. You likely will fail. You just ain’t Per Gessle.
