Say what you want about Eminem, but he is arguably the best rapper of all time. Yeah, I know you meanie-old FReepers hate rap (but conveniently disregard the rock stars who engaged in underage teen orgies, excessive alcohol and drugs, band breakups, and suicides), so spare me your rap is cRap mumbo-jumbo. Eminem - a white guy at that - managed to dominate what was and still is an all-black music genre. That’s the equivalent of being Larry Bird or Tom Brady.
It is silly to try to conflate the quality of the art with the lifestyle of the artist.
Bad morality sometimes has a way of eventually slapping itself in the face.
Latest rap releases from the past few weeks:
“Pray for Me” The Weeknd ft. Kendrick Lamar

His movie (8 Mile) was actually quite powerful. A sobering portrait of how our cities have been destroyed.
