this thing about people being concerned about Em supposedly being racist. it seems disengenious to me. more about trying to find dirt on Em than being concerned with racism or sexism.

Yeah that's true. Sort of like Michael Jackson in a way.

I like his stuff, I think he has a lot of talent. For me I like his raping better than anything since P.E.

I am not the biggest hip hop/rap fan but his music really stands out from a crowed that often sounds the same to my rock 'n roll ears.

I just saw 8 mile and thought it was a good movie, better than what I was expecting. How much of the movie was based on his life?

I like Eminem I think he is one of the best rappers ever! He sure has changed rap music.

aparently in response to being labeled racist...

"So while I think common sense tells you not to judge a man by what he may have said when he was a boy, I will say it straight up: I am sorry I said those things when I was 16. And I don't want to let anybody turn this into an opportunity to promote their own bullshit agenda."

Wich is pretty much all this is. people trying to promote their agendas by atacking him.

You think Em has changed rap music? I wouldn't say that. I would say his influence is more about money and marketing of rap in the mainstream rather than the music itself.

He's white, thats the only difference. Vanilla Ice did this a while before him though, you might make fun of him but someone sure liked him when he was around. About Eminem being a racist I don't think he is, the only friends we are sure he has are 50 cent and dr. dre so I think that could sum it up right there. I highly dobut hes a racist, if he is hes pretty damn good at covering it up.

Yeah, but it's HOW he says it. You must be completely ignorant of hip-hop if you can't admit he's got skills....So what if he's behind bodyguards! He's an MC, not a boxer.....Come to think of it, almost all of hip-hop is about braggin' or talkin' shit...Oh, and the "when you're making millions from it" shit is stupid...So he's gotta be poor to earn respect? He can't be successful? The guy had a hard life, but worked hard on his skills to get where he is....My DJ friend had advance copies of Em's first album, but there was no picture of him on the cover....So many MC's thought he was so good he had to be black. I've played drums in over 600 hip-hop shows for the last 7 years, so I'm no stranger to good hip-hop...You don't have to like him, but if you can't tell that he's better than good, then you're a fool.....

I didnt say anything about his skills, I was replying to someone who said that "People just don't like him because they don't have the balls to say the stuff he says", in which I replied that its easy to talk shit on people when its not to their face and if you're creating controversy and making money from it, and therefore there is no balls needed. Read the post properly next time. For the record I do believe he is a good rapper, I just dont like the content of his songs.

He may have changed mainstreem rap and made more people try to sound similar to him but he hasn't really done anything new.
