foxmonkeyIt doesn't rhyme. Sue me.
Hey! I'm feeling quite contrary this afternoon. Oops, evening. I've been disturbed by the sudden LJ-wide surge of affection for a certain bottle-blond rapper, and I'm not talking about Eve.
What the hell, folks? Eminem? Eh. Is he beloved because he talked smack about Chris? Come back to the SDBs, people!
Anyway, this is a GIP to show off my first (but certainly not last) Eminem icon. I think he's secretly in lust with the Syncers, and given their stormy temperaments, I think he's probably horny for Chris, this being the reason he wants to kick Kirkpatrick's ass, because how dare Chris turn him on with his sparkly gay ways! Bwahahahahaha! *cough*
Something else had me feeling cantankerously contrary but now I can't remember. Ah, yes. The Nelly song. I've listened to it a few times now, and other than Mr. Timberlake's deliriously fun vocals a la Jacksons, I'm not much feeling it. Love Justin's parts, although the high notes are a bit prominent. His lower registers would have been much better, methinks, but if I knew so much I'd be a producer, yes?
So, not crazy about the rapping, but the actual song part, I like. Kinda. All of the parts seems strung together, and not so much a cohesive whole. Hmmm.
And yes, this has gotten me a degree or two more excited for Justin's solo effort, which I'd already planned to buy. Justin!!! He's so cute. But I'm still a JC hound. JC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Word G!
Date: 2002-06-10 10:09 am (UTC)Hmmm, that's an interesting thing to say. I find him very fluid with his rhymes. He rhymes very fast and overlaps ideas in a really cool way. His talent lies in his lyrics, though. His lyrics are very, very impressive, sometimes poetic. The dissing is just standard rap fare and not really what he's all about.
"Without Me" is a bad representation of Eminem, imo, b/c the song is weak, the lyrics are eh. Try "Stan," where he's actually telling a story and sending a message or "The Way I Am," where his special brand of vulnerability shows through. (I'm giving you radio-played singles b/c they'll probably be easier to find, if you were so inclined.)
