Darth Eggplant Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 today travelling along the highway, at a fairly descent pace, watching the solid line of twinkly lights heading out of the city, in dead christmas tree gridlock. my brother puts on a tape of music, one of his new favourites Eminem (if I am saying the name right) *yes I am old, and just not with it* anyhow I liked listening to it, which surprised me cause I did not think I would. now I don't even know if M&M is a rapper, or his music is house, or hip hop, but i di like one song, it talks about himself calling himself by some alter ego name. my brother says the video for this song is really funny and he likes it. so what I want to know is swampies who like Eminem, could you copile me a best of list, review some albums, provide me with a discography, hell if you want to go hog wild and do a biography on the guy, please feel free. or PM and talk on messenger with me. I think I would like to have some of his music to listen to. (and as it stands I like a lot of different kinds of music. metal, alt, industrial, techno, pop, even some rap) so I am willing to give this gendre of music a go. also talk or post any feelings about other cool artists and songs that you like, and that you want an eggplant to listen to.

RockerD Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Personally I don't much care for some of his songs such as "Kim" but he has some decent songs like "Sing for the Moment" and "Lose Yourself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I don't really like him either, he stole Aeromsith's song (Dream on ) But, it is rap. go to lyrics.com They have all the songs of him, you can find what one, and then.... er.... buy it.... RockerD - Sing for the Moment is Dream on, except he changed the rest of the song to how he hates everyone and how is childhood was ****ed up.

Eminem....well...here is the thing. I thought he was an idiot....I made fun of him...and I hadnt heard one song by him. So one day....(I was in a group home so I was really depressed and pissed) well I threw on the eminem show. It had just came out....and....I dunno what it was. But I could relate to so much of the music, and I realized I liked it. I never would have thought I would like eminem back then...so well I dunno. But I was hooked. Ever since then....I have practicly every eminem song there is , even the underground songs, which are better than the official, and his original album infinite...which I got of ebay.....and every album of his.....including MM ep in which very few copies were sold. Its like....his music...there is a song for every mood....some of the songs....crack me up whenever I listen to them, and the angry songs, like 'soldier' or 'kim'....when I listen to those songs when I am really pissed....its like it vents all the anger out of me...its the weirdest thing. But I have found thats the best way to deal with most problems.....instead of fighting them out or....well....blowing them off is much better.....especially if its really not worth fighting about....like a relationship or friendship. I don't know where I would be now without that music, that was the one and only thing that got me through the group homes and back home....and for that...I thank him. I know, most of the people here, most likely, either hate him or dont care.....but I dont know what I would have done without those cds....they were my most prized possesion at the time. And tho, I am not as fanatic a fan as I was before.....I can relate to alot of his music...and I like the way it sounds...which is weird cause I really dont listen to rap....except for eminem. Usually people call me racist for that....^^ well ok.....but I cant relate to....those dumbass songs like....that one by nelly...."hot in here" omg...that is one of the stupidest songs I have ever heard in my life....well whatever. Yes, I am a fan of eminem, probably one of the only ones here. I noticed most people here are into metal type of music....thats cool....I dont really like metal....or hard rock....I dunno why. some of his best songs are: Kim Lose yourself Soldier Stan Rock Bottom Sing for the Moment( yes....the chorus is from an Aeromsith song...) White America Marshall Mathers (which is his real name...in case you dont know) The way I am Rabbit Run Hailies song Cleaning out my closet (the first eminem song I ever heard) 8 mile road If I had.... Still dont give a F*ck and some funny ones are Kids Forget about dre My name is My dad's gone crazy Superman Role model and the first really big hit of his...."the real slim shady" I doubt there are many people who havnt heard that song...^^ his albums are: 8 mile soundtrack (Aftermath / Interscope 2002-2003) The Eminem Show (Aftermath / Interscope 2002) Marshall Mathers LP (Aftermath / Interscope 2000) Slim Shady LP (Aftermath / Interscope 1999 ) Slim Shady EP (Not Sold Anymore) Indie Release 1997) Infinite (Not Sold Anymore) (Indie Release 1995 ) and this is the most complete list of his cds, songs and lyrics there is....they have the lyrics to some underground songs even... clicky if you want any more info pm me....I know everything you could think of. ^____^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylilin Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I reckon its a real crap style of music, therefore i don't like Eminem's music. Metal all the way! Yes, metal is so much more a valid form of music. 99% of rappers steal beats It's closer to 99.9%, but thats part of why I love it. To take a beat, combine it with other sampled elements and create something that it was not meant to be is an art in itself. Most of you who don't like rap because you have only been exposed to newer rap, which, as a native of Da Bronx, NY, the birthplace of rap, I think is garbage. Any rap classified as Old School is worth listening to and should be given a chance because it was done with a much higher standard than what passes for rap today. The lyrics as well as the beats were superior in every way. This is because way back when, rap was not popular, and that means for a rapper to get a record deal, he/she had to be extremely good. Nowadays, any idiot who can rhyme more than two sentences gets a record deal. the quality has gone way down because rap is so mainstream. One of these exceptions is Eminem. he rhymes with the proficiency of a poet. And if you don't believe me, you should check out some of the lyirics to his songs. Eminem says a lot of creative, funny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I also just started listening to his music. I'm surprised i actually liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Some of his songs are alright. But some, he aims his anger at someone, like Kim. I'm ashamed people actually buy those kinda songs.... : Just my opinion thoguh, I doubt half of you would agree that Aerosmith is the best band in the world, so.....

Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 The only song that has any lyrics that are his own, and are pretty good, Is "lose yourself", other than that hes just another wanna be that people wanna be...you get that?

Elijah Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Well I have very high music standards, and I grade lyrics very strictly... Eminems lyrics and the way he puts his words together is AMAZING... He is a genius with words... I don’t agree with the topics he sings about all the time, but non-the-less I can understand and respect that he’s just another guy who puts his heart on paper and puts it to a beat... I used to hate him, disrespect him, I was rather Close-minded about his music, until a good friend of mine put on his song "Cleaning out my closet"... They guy has been through a lot, as have I and I can relate in the sense that the only was he knows how to express himself is the way of music. like Kim. I'm ashamed people actually buy those kinda songs.... If that’s the song I think it is, that was a letter Eminem got from a fan, it wasn’t something he did.... If anyone wants to hear some Christian songs written to Eminem, listen to KJ-52 - Dear Slim, and KJ-52 - Dear Slim #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elijah Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Lemme see if I can find the lyrics on line... I dont see how you couldnt agree with them, as there isnt anything to really dissagree with... here we are... Dear Slim: Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin My name ain't Stan son, nah we've never met and My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin Why I took the time, the who what where and why and The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now What makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it What good's all kinds of dough Plus all kinds of flow To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul CHORUS La la la la la la, La la la la la la la la To whom it may concern x4 Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD I'm like for real he's like yeah he said my music made a difference It got him away from all your words and images I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids You ever stop to think about the millions you influence Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it Or just the way for some record companies sellin it The only think we got in common is our melanin Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm sayin It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing Prayin one day that you'll be calling upon His name and But anyway I'm signin off now don't keep me waitin This is KJ another cat just trying to make it CHORUS Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood When you's the only one and only kid that's white Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life But really tell me what you do You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin you And even though its a song you'll probably never listen to See what I send to you is this Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed Hope you remember this now a few sentences About a living God who loves you and plus forgives And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is And even though now it really might sound redundant God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted But anyway that's really all I gots to say Just another word from an emcee now around the way Maybe some day we meet each other in some way Till then one love one God one way CHORUS Dear Slim #2 la la la la la Dear slim la la la la la la la la la la yo yo yo yo la la la la la la la la yo la la la la la la la la la yo la la la la la la la la Dear slim Part 2 la la la la la la la la yo Dear slim i wrote you but you aint callen its been a couple years now since i wrote that song en alot has changed now for you and I I had no clue that I would write a song for you and it would change some lives Kids with tears in the eyes they now come up to me showing love to me and telling me that they look up to me The effects to me well were really kinda strange to see I only wanted to share with you now Jesus done for me but theres a whole nother side to things now that I come to see Its a huge influence you got upon on the industry but enough of me cause its not what i came to say to you not a day goes by while i take time to pray for you sorry now for what your mom and dad what they did to you but i can relate with you cause well see dude iv been there too I know theres a lot of pain and hurt now that youv been through but never forget theres a real love that god gave to you la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern Yo dear slim i wrote you and you still aint callen backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and I kinda wonderen what you thought man Or when that guy walked up to you and talked to you and put it in your hands Maybe you never listen to it or maybe you lost it or maybe you heard it and you just got mad and then you tossed it did he hits you back thats the question i always get Im like well god for bide you might even of liked it I dont know but congratulations on your movie yo and Heard your last record well ova ten million sold but theres one thing that gots me thinkin bro dose the grammy mean

say is god puts back the broken peaces that are were thrown away If even everyone you know just up and goes away he'll still love you till the very day that your of that old and gray to bad alot of Christians all they do is hate on you instead of dropen it there knees and taken time to pray for you its ovious that you really love your doughtier dude for that i gota tell you well i really got respect for you so here it is dear slim chapter part 2 another cat tring to make it just like you la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern Yo dear slim did you hear the junk that im goin through Kinds sending me hate mail and telling me how im fighting you telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too but alot of people they just seem to get my song confused see what i say to you i know it might even sound funny but i never came at you just to paint you has the enemy it wasn't about haten or spunten some controversy it wasn't about blamen you or tryn to make some money na i dont claim to know everything that youv experienced man i dont even know if even ever be hearen this but i said it once and i still hold it is is that a life with out Christ is still a life that is never fixed ill tell you this even if its a hard pill to swallow like it or not slim your gonna always be a roll model do you know these kids were the ones they always follow what we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow iv had my share of some plus man iv been rejected iv been chewed up spit out and cussed disrespected but if i die to day and never sale another record Jesus gave me more than i ever could of been expected i know life is hectic it can leave you blowin away but check it bro cause we just gonna die someday and on that note well theres only one thing still left to say theres still one love and one god and only one way la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la to whom it may

obi Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I've wrote my own "Dear Slim." Here goes: Dear Slim, Stop. Please, for the love of God, stop everything.

Jared Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I used to be a christian...but I kinda abandoned it...because I lost to many damn friends by being 'mr. christian'.....and I almost lost the one person I care about the most in this world. I do not agree with that kind of stuff anymore....I admit...when I first heard the song I thought It was dumb because I got very upset when people dissed eminem....but then I guess he wasn't really dissing him...I dunno. The lyrics are catchy, well written, but I dont agree with them. That's all. oh yea, and I have infinite, eminems first album, and well....he talked about sex and prostitutes and drugs and violence just the same in that, just not as much...so I dont know what he is saying by eminem changed from infinite....most people have never heard it, but think its so different from his newer albums...there isnt that much of a difference...he should have tracked down the album and bought it like I did before he wrote about what he didnt know all the details on. Otherwise its a good song...both of them, I just picked up the other kj album cause I wanted to hear dear slim pt.2 ....just curious I guess....he's a good rapper...and they arent many good rappers out there.....know what I mean? but I dont agree with the lyrics.

Just doesn't make sence to me eminem's 'lose yourself' is not even close the best song he has ever done...and what do you mean....he writes almost all of his songs...eh....whatever. The best song is hailie's song....by far. but, you know how many millions of kids can relate to his music? I don't know why he writes....he wanted to grow up and be a rapper...maybe thats why, but, either way, when you talk about your probems, and people relate, it makes them seem less.....well it makes them a hell of alot easier, knowing someone is going through the same thing. And how is he a wanna be....answer me that....because I'm afraid I dont know what you are talking about...who does he 'want to be' ....hmmm?
