lol...Why do people call Eminem so "mainstream" now?

[Robbie G]

They say his more mainstream because his doing way different music, meaning not rapping about serial-killer shit, Em was way more mainstream back in 02-03 then know. But those people can think whatever, it doesn't really matter because Em will keep putting out music whether they like it or not.

I actually think it was fitting to have her on the hook because of her situation. Plus it's not like Em's condoning domestic violence in the song.

Nah, just telling a woman he's not gonna hit her anymore and then threatening to tie her up and set the house on fire.

Em is mainstream his music aint.

exactly.

Rihanna? Well, I can't believe she eve did the song. First of all it seems to reference domestic violence often, and we all know what happened to her because of Chris Brown. And while Em seems to stick up for "Women's" rights and not hitting "Women", at the end of the song he throws it all out the window and says he is a liar and will tie the bitch down to a bed and set the house on fire. LMFAO, Rihanna kinda got raped by doing this song IMO.

I think you miss the point of this track completely, at the end he isn't just 'throwing it all out the window' and setting her on fire for the sake of it as you seem to think. LTWYL is Ems (and rihannas on the hook) account of an abusive relationship, in which most of the time they'll end up lieing about being sorry and 'falling into the same patterns' as he says on the track. In cases of domestic violence alot of the time the abuser will say sorry, but do it again soon after.

He sold out by using club beats, not hip hop beats.

You go to some shit clubs. These beats are great, and in no way merit being described as 'club' beats.

^ In what way is the fucking Balls song with D12 a compromise in his artistic integrity lmfao.

That song is pure Eminem. It's zany, it's ridiculous and it's crammed with his personality and usual nonsense. Just because you think the song is crap or silly doesn't make it a sell-out song. It's still totally Eminem / D12. Not a valid example.

I'm talking selling out his principles, becoming a different artist. No longer sounding like Eminem, therefore clearly a forced compromise = has never done this.

PS. In-case anybody thinks of the Akon song - Not a valid example either. Akon is Em's friend, he did the song and left him a 16, Em probably didn't even get paid and what's he meant to say to a friend "sorry man you're too cheesy". Plus he was still Eminem on that track and it's not his music.

So still waiting on just one example of Em compromising his artistry. I've listened to the man for a decade and can't think of one.

why do you always have to seem like a prick in all of your posts? that was his opinion and your like coming at him.
