i dont know.. eminem touches the same spots for me as:
south park
land of the loops
king missle

i dont take it as any real social commentary, i laugh a little and i enjoy
the beats..  i think if more top 40 pop music was along these lines, i
would enjoy sitting in the dentist office or being on hold while on the
phone a lot more :)  

to diverge quite a bit, the new coil cd "musick to play in the dark" has
the most amazing little "pop" song on it: "the dreamer is still asleep".  
it almost reminds me of depeche mode or something..  good, dark, flowing,
catching, smooth pop.  the best thing since kid rock.
