Eminem isn't evil...Just because he is voicing out his opinions though his music doesn't mean that he is hateful and disrespectful..He might be a rapper..but that doesn't mean anything. I personally like Eminem...His music to me is meaningful...It says something to you. Hurt, sadness, funny,and other things...To me eminem is just an ordinary person just trying to put his two cents in. Who can blame anybody for doing that? Freedom of Speech.

I dont listen to eminem's stupid music. You said he's a real person. Yeah a really evil person. No I am not Jesse Jackson. Who are you, enema's lawyer? Look at my name. I rebel at everything that is immoral or inhumane for a righteous cause, including eminem insulting celebrities. Celebrities do have real problems. You just may not know of many of them. Magic Johnson has AIDS, Tyson spent several years in prison, Clinton got exposed for something that wasn't even anybody else's business, Hugh Grant got busted for buying a prostitute, the list goes on. If you hate celebs so much, then why do you defend enema? Just becuz people have alot of money and are famous doesn't mean they deserve to be treated inhumanely. eminem is the only one that deserves that. And he is not like every other rapper, no way. eminem is evil becuz he calls out specific names of people and says something foul about em. Example: I'll cut dr.dre's head off. Other rappers say violent lyrics but they don't call out anybody's name. Example: I'll cut ya boys head off. See what I mean. When most rappers beef with others, they talk about other hardcore rappers that are likely to defend themselves. Not innocent pop stars and r and b singers who most likely won't defend themselves. And I don't know why you defend him angel, you know he has no respect for women.

Geminiangel, I take it that u don't like celebrities. You talk about they deserve whatever they get and you have no sympathy for em

I don't like celebrities. They do deserve whatever they get, including Mr. Mathers. And people actually have to deserve my sympathy before I give it to them.
quote:
But some people have this thing called compassion.

Compassion? What's that?
quote:
You see celebrities are human beings with feelings just like everyone else. And its people like enema that make a career out of hurting them. Which is wrong. Celebrities speak their mind like eminem, but not too many of them are as ruthless and hurtful as he is.

What are you? The Jesse Jackson for celebrities? They have money, wonderful lives full of success, very little real problems, etc. and I'm supposed to feel sympathy for them when someone calls them fat? Or ugly? Or stupid? I don't think so.
quote:
eminem should not prosper because he's cold, evil, and a poor excuse for a human being.

Eminem is just like any other rapper. I haven't heard you talk badly about any other rappers whose lyrics are more volatile than his. He seems like a real person, who sings about his problems. Good for him. People like his music because they can relate to it. If you don't like that same music, don't listen to it.

Yeah a couple people started the beef with enema, and I understand his backlash against them, but Im talkin about those he started it with.

eminem should not prosper because he's cold, evil, and a poor excuse for a human being.

Actually like geminiangel521 said Christina Aguilera did comment on Eminem. She said he was cute and went on to talk about how men shouldn't say things about their girlfriends. (She obviously meant Eminem and his wife-said it right after his video went off). Others have also said things about Em but it hasn't been as publicized from their end. Vanilla Ice did have comments saying how Em would never be as good as him and how he could beat Em in battling(what Em's best at). I think if Em says it as a joke they should take it as such, but if he takes it too far(dissing over & over) he should stop. But hey-people talk about about stars all the time(we're guilty of it too). Critics, and the haters. It's life. You can't please everyone.

geminiangel, why do u spend half a page quoting me?

Why do I get the feeling that you don't like quotes? And I use them for direct references.

And celebrities deserve whatever they get. They speak their minds, just like Eminem. We have freedom of Speech, and as long as it stays in the boundaries of the Bill of Rights, people need to hush and deal with it. Hollywood will be Hollywood, and I feel no pity for those celebrities that have been insulted. They can go bathe in chocolate.

And hey, I went easy on the quotes.. just for you, Rebel.

geminiangel, why do u spend half a page quoting me? Naw but I was sayin that if you dont say anything about a specific person or group it cant offend anybody. Example: If a rapper says, I splatter ya guts all over tha wall, but never says a certain person's name, then it can't hurt anybody. But the group that talked about raping Britney Spears should be punished too. And Im not saying all celebrities are innocent, but they don't deserve to be insulted and disrespected for no reason.

I don't know if we're both talkin about the same conference, but I saw something on MTV that showed Christina Aguilera and a group of girls talking about eminem. Aguilera said that he was cute. She complemented him. And then he called her a b!^ch on tv.

Not the same conference.
quote:
But they don't actually call out a certain person's name.

Actually, they do. One group spent half a song contemplating about raping Britney Spears.
quote:
So if they're not talking about a specific person or group, then how can anyone be hurt by it?

But they are, which is my point.
quote:
Take 9/11 for example. That was a tragedy. Many were hurt and killed. But someone could justify it by saying: People die every day, countries get attacked everyday, when you're the most powerful country in the world somebody is gonna wanna take you down, etc.(Not that I am justifying it, Im just using this as an example). My point is what enema is doing is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated or condoned.

It's accepted because celebrities aren't innocent people. They're a group within themselves. If they aren't happy with something, it goes. They have multi-million dollar lawyers who take care of the people they aren't pleased with. Eminem's already been sued numerous times by celebrities he’s offended. It all works out in the end.

Yeah there are other rappers that talk about killing, raping, and eating babies. But they don't actually call out a certain person's name. So if they're not talking about a specific person or group, then how can anyone be hurt by it?

And I understand that celebrities are easy targets for insults and exploitation, but does that make it right. An excuse can be made up for anything. Take 9/11 for example. That was a tragedy. Many were hurt and killed. But someone could justify it by saying: People die every day, countries get attacked everyday, when you're the most powerful country in the world somebody is gonna wanna take you down, etc.(Not that I am justifying it, Im just using this as an example).

Why do people support eminem?

They like his music. Apparently it appeals to a plethora of individuals.
quote:
He has publicly disrespected alot of celebrities when they have done nothing to him.

That's the entertainment business. If you're famous and popular, you'll get attacked. I'm sorry if I don't feel sympathy for otherwise apathetic celebrities who bathe in money and fame.
quote:
Christina Aguilera, are just a few of the people he has verbally attacked through his dumb songs

I don't know about the other people you mentioned, but Christina Aguilera did insult him in some conference. She said he was a bad role model and criticized his lyrics and his life in general, if I can recall correctly.
quote:
More importantly, why do people continue to buy his music and support him after all his disrespectful remarks?

See comment number one.
quote:
How would u feel and what would u do if this uncontrollable animal insulted u in his music?

I would ignore the insult because I'd have $49657386759 to spend on chocolate so I could sulk, and another $29573786987 to pay for liposuction afterwards.
quote:
He's a thug and he has no respect for anyone.

He seems to respect his daughter, and lots of (what you would perceive to be "good") role models such as Michael Jordan, Elton John, etc.
quote:
But yet his albums go #1 and he is the only rapper to receive an oscar for best song. His movie goes #1. Its just not right. So what do yall think about this?

People like his music, and they like the controversy that comes with that. He appeals to frustrated kids and some of his songs are catchy.

BTW- there are plenty of more disrespectful rappers out there. I've heard rap about eating aborted babies, raping people and killing them, etc. Eminem is just controversial because he's Eminem. That or he's white.
