from pretentious titles thread:
"There's also Eminem using a different one of his names for each album (oh, that's a concept... right.) "

So now that he's done Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers and Eminem, what's left? Does he need to invent a new persona? Does he need to come up with a whole new concept? Maybe he'll callit The Rabbit Hour?

The Ill-Judged Complaint

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Horace who's your favourite band?

The Enough About Me, What Do Others Think About Me LP

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

re: thread title, "The Ned Raggett DVD" is my guess.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, see, that I would buy. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark P: I'm partial to: Morphine, Royal Trux, White Hassle, the Kinks a lot lately. So what?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Haha Ned but as proven on ILE, you'll buy ANY DVD...

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Not true. I have no interest in buying I Know What You Did Last Summer.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

"new persona"? He's finished and he knows it. He's ridden all the controversy to mainstream acceptance - and now he has no one left to offend and thus, no one left to appeal to. He's gonna need more than another nickname (calling them "personas" is a gross overstatement) to salvage his career.

That Grammy performance of Lose Yourself was totally sad and lifeless. Worst guitar part EVAH too.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd like to see Eminem become the Kristofferson for a new generation. Y'know, still command respect as a musician/composer, but generally dissipate himself in Burt Reynolds buddy movies.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

He could adopt a terrorist persona, that'd still rile up the plebes. Maybe The Osama Show or The Saddam Show?

― hstencil, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes I agree Eminem will have to work hard to salvage that career which lies in ruins all around him!!

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark P: I'm partial to: Morphine, Royal Trux, White Hassle, the Kinks a lot lately. So what?

Just seeing if there was anyone that I was willing to be equally as condescending about.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Shakey who's your favourite band?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I wasn't even being condescending in this question...I mean, it's a fairly logistical problem, no? No value judgment was attached.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

"favorite band"? As in, "of all time"? I can't make that kind of pronouncement, I change too much.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

The Haley's Papa Ordeal?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Is this what rockists mean when they say "No really - I like rap"?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:07 (twenty-three years ago)

haha sorry "rap music"

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:07 (twenty-three years ago)

you're confusing me, Mark. Would you like me to list a cross-section of my record collection or something...?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark P has thin skin, like an onion.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:09 (twenty-three years ago)

he could call the next album American Zero now that he's run out of names

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

oops's first suggestion is my favourite: em shd totally go with that!!

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

arg

is "i am not being condescending" as sincerely insincere as when actual rockists say "no really, i like rap music i do"

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:14 (twenty-three years ago)

well, what about my question seems condescending to you, aside from my signature on it?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:16 (twenty-three years ago)

So now that he's done Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers and Eminem, what's left? Does he need to invent a new persona?

Wow, hypocracy-in-nickalicious revealed!

I dislike Em's "different persona" formula with a passion (mostly for the lack-of-anything-different-from-one-persona-to-the-next), but am also a GIGANTIC fan of the Kool Keith persona-hopping.

Nickalicious in a finding-myself-to-be-a-hypocrite SHOCKAH!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:16 (twenty-three years ago)

(horace to be fair my reaction is probably coloured by previous posts of yours, so i'm reading into it a bit, but basically)

he is contrived -> it is a formula -> let's decode it

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

was I being condescending? Do you actually think I don't like rap? Am I not allowed to like rap and maintain a vague dislike of Eminem?

Keith is a million times better at the persona-hopping than Eminem. He *does* actually develop characters with different POVs/habits/defining characteristics.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

guys i never suggested that either of you don't like rap.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, just because I think his music's poop, doesn't mean I'm not slightly interested in his overall cultural schmizoo. He's like Madonna in that way, I guess. Only I hope he never puts out a book where he gets naked with Vanilla Ice. Or at least I hope I never look at that book.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Em is actually an enigma to me as possibly the ONLY musician whose personality/self-identity get in the way of my appreciation of their work. As though, if not for his self-focus in nearly all of his material, I might actually really like his stuff (as "Lose Yourself" seems to be evidence towards).

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm confused by yr analysis - is there *anything* to his music beyond his personality (and its kinda hamfisted manipulation)? Don't say Dre's beats.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:40 (twenty-three years ago)

His flow.

(I'll take "answers most likely to annoy" for $500.)

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

dude, they don't have any $500 questions anymore

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I think his next album should be called Diamond Dogs, or maybe Rock And Roll Animal.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, you gotta give props to the Original (W)rapper.

"Eminem's Greatest Hits... And More"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:49 (twenty-three years ago)

So the last remaining demo that isn't glowing with Em luv -- maybe the Amish? Thus, Eminem: Hoarse & Buggin'

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:55 (twenty-three years ago)

How about he makes his own version of the Frogs' It's Only Right and Natural to piss off the gay demo?

― hstencil, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Uh okay I am silly.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:59 (twenty-three years ago)

That's a good name for his album:
Eminem--"Uh Okay I am Silly"

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 19:02 (twenty-three years ago)

So now that he's done Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers and Eminem, what's left? Does he need to invent a new persona? Does he need to come up with a whole new concept? Maybe he'll callit The Rabbit Hour?
Eminem The Overrated Creep Cracka LP

"Free Yayo"

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 19:48 (twenty-three years ago)

The " Oh Yeah I'm White By the Way LP" ??

― esquire1983 (esquire1983), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 20:18 (twenty-three years ago)

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 20:51 (twenty-three years ago)

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 20:59 (twenty-three years ago)

horace do you get anything?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:06 (twenty-three years ago)

no. not if I can help it. and if I do get something, I go to the doctor for a shot of penicillin.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

consider this thread a five year bill of clean health.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:09 (twenty-three years ago)

My good friend and occasional ILM poster Theodore Fogelsanger once suggested the next one be called "The Ol' Whinypants LP".

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Possible new Eminem personas -

1. Milk Woman - Basically a huge milk bottle costume with fake breasts attatched crudely with cellotape
2. Slime Shady - Modelled on the Swamp Thing, lots of swearing
3. Albut Gerpus (Man of Riddles) - 18th Century Russian Puzzlesmith
4. Manthrax - Terrorist hero. The idea for this character has been kicking around AAD for a while.
5. Lord of the Blings - Em blacks himself up and loses all his friends in a torrade of unexpected racist abuse
6. Reverend Hotrod - Pastoral English paedophile complete with monocle.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 22:54 (twenty-three years ago)

If that was the Reverend HORTON Hotrod, Then I'd buy that record.
