Eminem, unretired.

that was a whole lot of the MMLP too. but it did have to do with a moment in time -- like he was doing this stuff on his earlier freestyles and it was just from that schoolyard who can be grosser/meaner/more violent/more over the top side, and then SSLP came out right in the middle of the TRL era and that voice, always in it just for shock & effect, found a whole new audience, and generated a big outrage cycle. Then MMLP came in and trolled it really effectively. But yeah, like a class clown or w/e he needs to be paid attention to to thrive. If he's just doing the same thing and nobody is doubling down on outrage, then the same gimmicks don't really fly again.

ok, so forgive the analogy here, but duchamp did lots of things in his career. he could only sign urinals for so long before it stopped being interesting.

oops mangled sentence xxp, swap out ascribing for claiming or sth

Funny that the most enduring song of his is probably the one with zero violence or pop culture, "Lose Yourself."

while i might give you violence but re: pop culture he breaks down in the last verse and notes the lack of mekhi phifer in his past

deej (and lots of other people) otm

yeah there's no way that the meaning of the lyrics isn't central to eminem and his persona; he's not exactly the cocteau twins of hip hop.

p.s. the cocteau twins of hip hop is chief keef
