Well.
That was thought-provoking. When you think about it, it is pretty sad that Eminem's entire persona is based on his ability to stir shit up. Isn't that somewhat akin to glorifying a schoolyard bully and saying that when he beats another kid's face in, he's making a "statement"?
Truthfully, I do like Eminem and I do like some of his songs. But he can be unnecessarily mean to his competitors and he tends to be vulgar with touchy subjects like rape and other types of violence. So, what's next? Once you've worn out the shock value of making fun of spousal abuse, you'd practically have to say "QUADRIPLEGICS NEED SHUT UP AND FUCK OFF" to get that sort of controversy surrounding your name again. And what's the point in that? Mowing down good taste simply in order to raise a few eyebrows? Really.
