Fully clad and glad to find a cause
I won't pause
Fear is a joke, slowpoke
I'm like claws
they'll rip cause your gift is merely flesh
Superficial and I wish you would give it a rest

I love those lyrics. Great imagery.

"I'm not sayin I'm number one, uhh I'm sorry, I lied
I'm number one, two, three, four and five!"

 

[Risen]

new eminem is a disgrace to this topic. gtfo with that shit

Yea, this thread would do just fine without Em in it.

Neptunes, now comes the test. Tell me, do you like Freeway?

[YOUTUBE="ilQmhjK5qp8"]Alright[/YOUTUBE]

One of my ALL TIME favorite songs and artists.

 

[neptunesnet]

Neptunes, now comes the test. Tell me, do you like Freeway?

Guess who just failed her test

 

[Risen]

Guess who just failed her test

Awwww. Yea, a lot of people haven't heard of him, but he has some of the best music. Way underrated, even though he was/is signed with the Roc.

More freeway:

Yeah. I suppose it could. What would you say if you've never heard of Eminem? It does belong in an appreciation thread.

Most of his songs though, shouldn't be in this thread. Those individual songs that I posted are good rap and Hip-Hop.

I just don't feel black rappers. Even though I can appreciate and enjoy it.

The Marshall Mathers LP and The Slim Shady LP were a different theme than the rest of his albums, that doesn't make it better... it's like saying Macs are better than PCs or iTunes is better than Zune or that Apple is better than Microsoft or that Oxford is better than Webster or that Coca-Cola is better than Pepsi.
