Eminem's music is worth listening to because of the controversy and skepticism that surrounds him. He is regarded to be one of the most talked about rap artists in the media today- but why? Journalists and media moguls will tell you it is because of his frequent minsogynst and homophobic slurs and denunciation of American political choices. But what about his creative and powerful lyrical ability? How about his genius alter-ego creation, Slim Shady? His rhetorical wordplay and freestyle capabilities may make you want to pause the track and rewind, just to make sure your mind isn't going numb. Eminem is an artist worth your time because he is an artist whose music isn't just something to listen to during a lazy Sunday afternoon or in the car back from school. His songs are linguistic masterpieces that deserve the attention of viewers. No, not every individual has to enjoy his songs, but Eminem deserves a chance. Instead of listening to what the media highlights about his music, it is important to hear the songs with your own ears.
One day, I picked up a magazine in my brother's room and read the words "EMINEM." I've heard he was "bad" and someone I "shouldn't listen to" from my parents.
The next day, I popped in my brother's CD and found my favorite artist.
Sometimes, not following the rules pays off.
