I know. I know. I KNOW.
He looks like I'm his target demographic, doesn't he?
But his tunes are catchy.
His lyrics can be very funny and wry [and misogynistic and hateful and mean, yes, sure].
Oh, the richness of teaming with Rihanna for a song where the lyrics include:
Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
We are both from the 313.
His videos are entertaining.
He's buddies with Dr. Dre.
I wonder if Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem hang out. And I wonder if I could join them. But not if they are getting high. I don't care for that. Just to hang out and drop rhymes. Not that I have any rhymes. But I could make them up. Maybe.
He had this giant billboard in Detroit as an homage/headstone to his buddy Proof after Proof was fatally shot outside a nightclub. That's a nice thing to do, don't you think?
Also, his music is just FUN. I like it. I really do.
And when I hear Lose Yourself, I get pumped to do stuff. You know, life stuff.
O.k., spill. Who are you secretly a fan of?
Holy crap! We are of the same mind! He rocks!
ReplyDeleteI just got yelled at for listening to him so I wrote a post about it and then I came here and well...birds of a feather, my friend...birds of a feather....
Oh, Tonya, we are sisters in rap. We truly are.
ReplyDeleteLose Yourself came out at a very key time in my life. If I ever get to meet Mr. Mathers, I'm gonna tell him that.
ReplyDeleteUnmitigated, I knew I wasn't the only one. It's a great song, isn't it? I'm glad you found it helpful, too.
