I listened to the Slim Shady LP the other day. The one album that I've always been loyal to, despite the complete train wreck Eminem became when he became a "serious," self referential, melodramatic, stereotypical "public whiner" who apologized for making albums that critics didn't like.
Yet even during "role model" (and definitely "brain damage"), I couldn't help but wonder why the hell I ever though of him as more than a mediocre novelty rapper at best.
Stupid as it may sound to some, I am overjoyed that nobody gives much of a shit about him anymore. I'll take the genuine schizophrenic drug addled ramblings of lil Wayne over Eminem's bitch-ass any day. Glad to see hip hop entering an era where he is not the Alpha and Omega of one of my favorite genres... turning hip hop into a trailer park train wreck.
Fucking Dido collab.... We all should have known better as soon as that shit came out.
