Seamus Heaney!?

Props are for Seamus Heaney, not Eminem.

Interesting.

I fuckin' love Eminem.... Marshal Mather's LP is the best album in 10 years.

I get to meet Mr. Heaney this fall through my work. Now I'll have something to talk about with him without humiliating myself. Hopefully.

[Salome]

it's fairly obvious Eminem has a gift with words
not always used in a way I like
but gifted nonetheless

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

yes he has an excellent ear for conversational rhythm

When it comes to the actual writing of his raps, rarely does it get better than what Eminem did in "Without Me," if that's what that song is called. The construction of the lyrics is genius. I've been listening to rap for 15 years, and I've never heard anything like it.
