The washington post reports that the family values crowd are not showing outrage any more.

i am very much anti-eminem. i personally think that everything he does is for the mere shock value, and once he sells another record or two, people will finally think to themselves, "hey, this guy hasnt really said anything new. he is not changing his style, and it's now bland." he is doing it just to get reactions, and i hope that not getting much this time out will shorten the lifespan of his career.

yes yes abstractmentality, but shock is what sells. Shock is what grabs everyones attention. now what keeps them coming back for more is when they keep getting shocked. something more and more outragious is done. so far, eminem has come out with the same stuff as he did before. personally i think he is afraid to attack anyone else. he knows something will happen if he does. and thats going to be his downfall. someone will decide to not keep off his toes and go after him and he wont know what to do becuase he will be afraid.

You should be careful there, Snoopy. There's a pretty big difference between raper and rapper.

Oh, wait...

"Can he be ignored?"

I would only hope so. And no, the little duet with Elton John didn't make me think he's somehow not a homophobe.

WHAT???? What the hell are you trying to say??? I can not for the life of me figure out what you are saying!!!!!

Eminem is a very talented rapper who says absolutely nothing, like Jay-Z. Both have talent but say NOTHING.
