Eminem, is straight up, a pure genius. His music yeah, is pretty bad if all you're looking for is sex, drugs, violence, and language, but that's his way of telling it like it is. He does that really well. Almost every one of his songs, is amazingly written (minus a few that are purely just about sex, drugs, etc.) and is a master of imagery and words. Just a to name a few songs off his latest CD (Encore), Mosh, purely government related, Mockingbird, a tribute to his kids and explanation to them. And again, some of his songs are those purely raunchy, dirty, (I think sometimes joke songs) songs which helped get him noticed. All in all, I personally think he's a brilliant writer, and me, being a usual no-tolerance rap person, I could listen to his music all day.
