Ok, right off I'm going to say that this rant is not about my dislike of his music.

 

He divorces his wife. Then he writes songs about beating her up, killing her, and stuffing her body in the trunk of a car. Then he remarries her. WTF?? I feel bad for her, does she have no self esteem? This makes no sense and I just had to get that out of my system.

 

He has a sense of humor that I am not a fan of. He seems more to want to aggrivate those he "pokes fun". I get the feeling of maliciousness whenever I see one of his videos where he is making fun of someone. Then he tells people who get angry to lighten up and get a sense of humor.

Mr. Mathers makes fun of other rappers (eg. Ja Rule), dog puppets, easy targets like Michael Jackson & Madonna, and even Christopher Reeve. Why Christopher Reeve, you may ask? Nobody really knows. He was a humanitarian and an inspiration to many, even before his tragic accident. He brought so much awareness and so much money towards finding a cure for spinal cord trauma. He did a lot of good things in the world before his passing... and eminem for some reason makes fun of him. I don't get it. He, of course, says to lighten up. Another of his targets is a rubber dog puppet named Triumph. This has got to be the easiest thing to make fun of because all he needed was to get a puppet that looked like Triumph and have it do stupid things in his video. Such a simple and brainless way to be spiteful, and the timing of the video was about 3 years after Triumph poked fun at eminem. Little late on the comeback? Of course any two year old can make fun of Michael Jackson or Madonna, another easy target. MJ was pissed an even said some stuff on air saying he didn't appreciate the mockery. Eminem responded again with lighten up.

 

When the tables are turned, it is an entirely different matter. When someone else is poking fun at him the person is the target of Eminem's anger. When Triumph poked fun at eminem, instead of laughing he retaliated. It took him 3 years to do so but he retaliated. He seems very petty and vindictive when it comes to people poking fun at him. Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of his 8-mile song and eminem got pissed. Anybody who has ever listened to a parody by Weird Al knows that there is no mockery at all for the original artist. Al is the embodiment of the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." If you've heard the song Couch Potato he's not making fun of eminem at all, however he was still pissed off. Seems as though he can dish it out but he can't take it. He really should practice what he preaches.
