NotBriansIM (10:50:32 AM): on nah right
NotBriansIM (10:53:21 AM): let me know what you think of it, it’s from the re-up comp
NotMaurasIM (10:53:23 AM): listening to it now
NotMaurasIM (10:54:38 AM): i like the delivery
NotMaurasIM (10:54:48 AM): and the chorus
NotBriansIM (10:55:16 AM): yeah, i guess….it’s just more gunshot noises, “fag” references and quasi-self-loathing
NotMaurasIM (10:55:23 AM): well
NotMaurasIM (10:55:41 AM): he’s sort of run out of subject-matter steam
NotBriansIM (10:55:54 AM): yeah, no definitely
NotBriansIM (10:56:04 AM): he’s been insulated way too long at this point
NotMaurasIM (10:56:08 AM): yeah.
NotMaurasIM (10:56:10 AM): he needs to like
NotMaurasIM (10:56:21 AM): take a trip to antarctica or something
NotMaurasIM (10:56:27 AM): just to get some self-perspective

And, of course, to whup the crap out of that fur seal who once looked at him funny.

    I'm reminded of the Onion headline:



    "Marilyn Manson now going door to door trying to shock people."



    Granted, Eminem has more legitimate musical chops than MM, but I think people are now responding with a yawn where they used to be outraged.

    Booooooooooooring... And here I was, ready to be all "offended". I'd couldn't even be bothered to make it through the whole track...



    Is it a crime to laugh? Didn't this guy used to be entertaining?

  • Rey


    Psst - Mr. M&M.; It seems every "straight" person I've met who fantasizes about fags being obsessed with them turns out to be a big ol' queer themselves.



    It's a shame. You're not even hot enough to be rough trade.

  • Fresh


    Eminem's delivery is still as good as ever, but his lyrical content just hasn't been the same since the 8 mile soundtrack.



    Not entirely on topic, but some of you might be interested in DJ Swindle's latest project, mashing up Michael Jackson beats with some of Eminem's old songs --->

  • MJ


    "You can sue me if you want"? Who'd bother with sueing him anymore? Paranoic, much?



    And that piano is out of a 5$ mid-nineties stock-sounds compilation.

  • Come a little Miroslav Klose Y


    The Antarctic adventure quip is not so far off-the-mark.... I was thinking on Eminem when I was watching Babel, but paying more attention to Gustavo Santaolalla's score. I have a coupla discs produced by GS, mostly Molotov releases, & I got to thinking -- Em seemed a li'l tired on Encore, maybe a change of scenery, down by Buenos Aires (Santaolalla's Argentine, at least), would do well. Change up the instruments behind him, too.

    Could work.

    I like the track but I miss the funny side of Eminem. He's been pretty miserable for sometime.
