Lol! That's his point. He makes fun of everyone; no one is safe. That's why he's called irreverent, and why most people hate him. He's never afraid to cross the line...it's why I love him. The more uncomfortable he makes others simply by rhyming a few words, the more I like him.

My questions is, Why is this written in past tense? He's still bold, uncensored, irreverent. He's still kickin it!
(Sorry, I'm biased.)
I haven't kept up with his current work. I stopped listening when he made fun of Michael Jackson.
I didn't appreciate what he said about Iggy Azalea. I'm not a fan of her music, but he was crude about her.
I was referring to Snoop Dog in my post, not Eminem. Snoop was just downright cruel and mean in his little 'web'isodes about Iggy. I think he might have actually threatened her, too.

Oooh - what did he say? Oh never mind - I will drop the subject - she's just a gal trying to make some money :):laugh: - I used to like Madge (Madonna) years ago and she had a bad reputation as well. Did not bother me.

One thing Snoop did was liken her to the Wayan brothers when they did that movie 'White Chicks'.

Eminem is a D-bag. Sure, he makes fun of everyone, and that's fine--but he gets all offensive when someone pokes fun at him. He can dish it out but he can't take it. Takes himself way too seriously, like Sean Penn. Hate cats like that.
I didn't mind when Weird Al did a parody of this song:

I saw Weird Al in concert a long time ago, around 2004, and he was talking about the troubles he had with Eminem over a parody he did then.... (basically he was making in fun of Eminem for the same reasons Ratty said... he could dish it out but he couldn't take it. From what I remember it was hilarious and that time Al wasn't pulling any punches.)

What really got me was when he had his goons practically rough-up Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at an award ceremony.

Hmph. My only problem is that life gets in the way of me reading far more than I currently am. King and Clive Barker are the only two writers I make time for anymore, although I have loads if stuff in my Kindle I haven't gotten around to yet. But I'd read anything given more time, and as King himself urges "Read more scary books!" I'm sure he'd be happy to know that he influenced new readers to seek out more writers.

As far as music goes, I'm the last of 6 siblings and they and my parents listened to everything. So I love everything from classical music to pretty much anything recorded between 1950 - the early 90s (except Techno. Techno sucks butt). Put on one of my playlists and you'll hear everything from Jim Reeves to Iron Maiden. I don't care about genres or demographics as long it sounds good. To indulge my inner snob though: I think anyone who doesn't like John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen or Neil Diamond must have something wrong with them at a molecular level.

I never had a problem listening to very different genres of music (as long as I like them), or felt one meant I should avoid other. Perhaps if I had grown up listening exclusively to one genre things would be different.

I read different authors, too. But I have felt something similar, caused, perhaps, by different circumstances.

I do not have a lot of time to read, so I have to choose what to read carefully, and I definitely cannot read "everything there is". So, when given the choice between a book I really want to read (because I like the author's work, or the series, or whatever) and some other book (different author, different series, or whatever), I know which will win.

Music has the advantage that it takes 4 minutes to listen to a song (or a fragment, if we're talking about a symphony). So I do not have to choose "one or the other". I can have both.

I think the closest thing to that feeling happens to me with Marvel Comics (my favorite) and DC Comics (which I like, but they are not Marvel Comics). I do read DC, and I like it, but the rate of Marvel over DC I read is greater. And there have been times when I may not have read something just because it was DC (I was much younger then, though).
