"Eminem"

I've never been much of an Eminem fan, but the other day I heard his new song "Cleaning out my closet" on MTV. I'm not keen on his style of music, but this guy is a Fantastic Poet. Do any of you guys know if the stuff he is talking about is true or not?

He's OK. And that's all.

Some of his lyrics are quite clever. But i think the guy has issues.

Shakespearian quotes - superb :)

Tis true, I hang out with all the big rap stars, Dre, Dogg, Ice T, Missy, Cypress Hill and MC Hammer.

And I can say unequivocaly: none have a appartment as tidy as Eminems. (Though MC does have an impressive trouser press)

Pish

I was round his apartment the other night and he was indeed cleaning out his closet. He may be a hardline rapmeister with an agressive beat combo, but the guy is just so houseproud. I made the mistake of not putting my Bud on the coaster provided and he went mental. He kept saying things like "Would you do that in your own home, homes?" and "Stan wouldn't do that".

He calmed down a bit though when I offered to hoover the lounge for him.

He touches on stuff in his life, but a lot of what he says is false. I have three of his Albs, and I'm not too keen on the music style (I prefer rockin' guitars) but he is an excellent rapper.

In reply to "Cleaning Out My Closet", I think the bit where he says "momma" instead of "mom" totally ruins the song - it makes him sound like a southern retard.

I still dunno what to make of Eminem. On one hand he's a bit of a pony-***k, but on the other he comes out with some funny lines and there's always a half-decent 'choon' behind him. It's good that he's still on the scene and has a few albums knocking about - that shows that he's no 'H & Claire from Steps' and that he can go the distance. He's also been fortunate enough to colaborate with some good artists. I wouldn't call myself a fan (he's no Vanilla Ice), but I'm not anti-Eminem either. He's got a good sense of humour and is always prepared to send himself up - I like that.
