I want to put my views in as a fellow white rapper Eminem’s first appeals are obvious. The reasons he is one of our biggest cultural icons have more to do with his image and genius. His beats are sparing/minimalistic so we can keep focus on his complex rhyme patterns. His lyrics are in very specific poetic type bars but most people are only caught up in his off the wall content. He makes use of every feeling he can give us angry, disgusted, humorous… and the image he portrays stands bigger than others. Most of us know his backstory, his feelings toward his mother, babys mother, father. Although his music is changing his main points were the same. He had a great vision and i think its the music business that is still holding him back.

God. I’m so disappointed. Really really disappointed.
You want to know why?
I had JUST sat down to write that very article! (maybe not quite the same flavour, I mean ‘flava dawg!’, but still….). I watched a compelling docu with the Sexy Rebel himself and was astounded that anyone can rhyme the word ‘orange’. But Mr Mathers didn’t just rhyme it once, he rhymed it about 10 times!

I had been meaning to write this article about Eminem’s word prowess for months, his talent with both words and marketing had been on the tip of my tongue, but I’ve missed the boat.

Ah well, I’ll just have to take your advice and add this link to my blog’s new “My 10 favorite blog posts”!

Wow. Just wow. It’s always good to look at people who are masters of their field and see how they got to that point. I can’t stand Eminem’s subject matter, but I’ve always recognized his talent as both an artist and a businessman. You’ve taken the things that’ve made him successful and broken them down so anyone can use them to achieve goals. Great post!

It’s amazing how you as a write are inspired by Eminem.

You’re wife is right about you not being able to have an actual opinion until you hear his music.

Although most of Eminem’s music is vile, what he speaks is the truth of his life. And what he’s been through. It’s not just a jumble of lyrics in a song to make people mad, or just to freak out. He just is a lyrical genius.

Thanks Martin.

I’ve only been writing for 4 years, so when I first started decoding his wall of verbiage, it didn’t influence anything directly. But it was brewing. And when I first started to write, my wife and I owned a preschool, so I would write children’s rhymes for our students. It was the patterns in his music that drove the style.

I would put him in the dedication if it weren’t the worst idea ever!

That is amazing.

‘ I love how his depth, on so many levels, could inspire a writer of your caliber.

If the kids catch wind of your influence, that will shoot your ‘cool factor’ through the roof.

To your explosive success in that venture and any you pursue.
