He's no genius.

He's a clever bloke who found a niche and exploited it.

Not a fan myself.

He's rapidly running out of ideas imho, the latest single sounds awfully familiar.
And when is he going to stop whining about his deprived childhood? You're a multi-millionaire mate, get over it !!

when it comes to rappin and freestylin, he's one of the best out there. He's cleaned up a lot, he's finally taking responsibility that comes along w/ his having a daughter, but he's still not clean as a decent human being.

Mind you, I could still be whistling some of his more memorable melodies ten years from now.

I'm going to see him in Punchestown at the end of the month. If i had a deprived childhood and made millions crying about it, I would probably milk it for all it was worth as well

No matter how many fish in the sea, there wouldn't be half as many bootlegs without him

The worst thing about Eminem is that he made a star of Dido. "Stan" is still a great track tho', even with her on it.

Funny enough, he's now coming across as a talented individual, extremely popular (except with his family) and the backing samples on his tracks are some of the best in the business.

keep it coming...

as for marilyn mansun(sp) what the **** is he all about????

I watched 8 Mile last night. Quite a good film, kinda changed my views on the bloke. The films meant to show his backgrounds and how he was recognised as a white rapper in a black neighbourhood..etc..etc. Its well worth a look.

IMHO he's not a genius, but he is good at what he does and has made alot of money from it..........good luck to the bloke!

Well, I kinda like Mr Mathers, but then I do kinda like rap anyway. My personal opinion is that he is making tunes that are controversial, no thing as bad publicity as they say. I would not say that I agree with the views expressed in his songs, however, how do we know whether he does, or whether it's just a ploy to sell more records?

8 mile was a rather good film IMHO, Yeah you could say it was very loosley a potrait of his life, and in a way it was. However, I liked it, and the music was good too, and the battles, well, even though they were pre-written, the timing of acting them out was excellent.

I like his (bad) attitude. He just does not seem to give a flying f*ck what other people think- good for him

"So will the real shady please stand up
And put 1 of those fingers on each hand up
And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control"

Not a big fan of his music but his lyrics and attitude are just what we need in a bad-*** rock/pop/rap star.

I prefer to listen to music, not some wimp mouthing off at something.
I just can't stand his voice. He makes me want to use his face as a punchbag.

Trailer park trash, who now makes millions out of singing about trailer park trash.
Spotted his hole in the fence and did well.
His old stuff was innovative, but his latest stuff is just repartition.

What's up with Marilyn Manson then?

IMHO, the look and attitude is wearing thin nowadays, he needs to do a proper come back, not just assume he can ride on as he did a couple of years back.

I just don't share the same passion with his new album as I did with the "Trilogy" set - Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holywood.

Manson has not developed. He just plays the same theme and his fans now want more and have drifted away.
Iggy Pop springs to mind.
