are you being serious? i can't tell. you are trying to tell me that eminem
speaks seriously about issues such as poverty and drug use, right? you're
actually proposing that? give me a break. he's making the mockery of such
issues, not me. he's a joke, his music is a (bad) joke, and whatever
"skills" he has are completely lost on me. i may not be too familiar with
his music, but let me assure you, he's not saying _anything_ important.
