Pop Culture Question

There is a sense of desperation in them, and it gets through to you. I wish he would revert more to this kind, but it's not like the Eminem Show or Marshall Mathers LP are bad or anything.

 

Also, I like Obie and 50 cent's tracks, but Rap Game might be the best one on the album.

 

The sense of desparation, I hadn't thought of, but you are right. But then Jimmy Rabbit Smith Jr was desparate, so when Em raps as Rabbit he can be desparate, but when Em raps as Slim Shady, as he himself has said, "I can't rap 'bout being poor no more." Rolling Stone mag did suggest that Slim might fade a little and Rabbit might be the new vehicle through whom Em speaks because there is new terriotry to explore there.

 

Rap Game is D12, right? I agree, great song. Agree on Obie Trice and 50 cent. I also liked the change of pace of Macy Gray's track. But my favorite is the song 8 Mile itself. That has a relentless beat, it just drives, and that's the one that I play the most.

Yeh Rap Game is the D12 one; I almost said 8 mile was my favorite song, but Rap Game has so many different peope with good verses, and Em just absolutely goes off.
