How do you feel about the song 'Cleaning out my closet' by Eminem

[5th Letter]

Song was classic when I was 12 I could spit it word for word. Eminem is one of those few rappers who can put his heart in a track. He was never trying to emulate the typical black male stereotype that has taken over hip hop.

Elaborate.

@gee I used to like Eminem but once those tapes came out I couldn't fuck with him anymore.

1 of my fave songs ever

Really deep and emotional song

Can relate to the song because we all have arguments and drama with our parents or family members

He put his pain on wax on that song

It's 1 of the greatest hooks ever in history too. That's the gift Em has see the hook is actually deep as far as the lyrics in the hook but it's catchy as hell at the same time. It stays stuck in your head and is really catchy but deep at the same time.

Emphatic nosign. I can name a hundred better choruses

it's between decent and dope for me

its not one of my favorite eminem tracks but it's really good, not to mention that most artists don't make music with emotions like that and thats what i wish more rappers would do...those types of emotions if what makes ppl like tupac, eminem, and joe budden some of my favorites

The thug/gangster playboy baller stereotype. Every seems to play the same Character. They fucking bitches nonstop and getting loads of money and selling boatloads of dope. Eminem never tried to be that. He was real personal in his rhymes and didn't get called soft for it like drake does.

On Wednesday, March 23, just two weeks before rap artist Eminem was going to have to take the stand and explain the details of a series of songs he made calling Black people "n***ers," "p**ch m****ys," and "sp**r ch***ers," his own company, Shady Records, withdrew a lawsuit they brought against The Source Magazine in 2003, admitting that The Source had done nothing illegal when it played the songs at a press conference and posted snippets on its website. As The Source originally reported, the songs were recorded in 1993, when Eminem was 21 years old. Eminem had lied and said he was only 16, and also lied about having a breakup with an "African-American" girlfriend, who never existed.

“These guys had us in court for two years now, claiming we were guilty of copyright infringement just because we reported on the racist songs that Eminem made," said David Mays, co-Founder and CEO of The Source. "Now, they admit that we were right all along, after they spent the past two years telling everyone that The Source has no integrity and that we have a 'personal vendetta' against Eminem. We have had to spend a lot of money in court, not to mention that Interscope Records has pulled millions of dollars of advertising from our magazine and tried to influence others to do the same. And a federal judge watches all of this take place and then allows them to withdraw without any penalty. That is how crazy this situation is."

The Source never had its in possession nor did they ever hear any tape of Eminem saying moon crickets, porch monkeys, spear chucker etc.

That wouldn't work for em at all so he went with the psycho "i hate the world" gimmick. Raping his moms and shit

 

[themadlionsfan]

This white boy really had the nerve to ask that question?

The hell are you talking about? point out when I said that's ALL Eminem talks about.

 

[Stew]

My bad I shouldve said, that's like me saying Ghost went with the selling crack and hood rap.

Listen man, all I'm saying is that Eminem rapping differently was not working for him(infinite). He was not going to blow up sounding like Nas and he damn sure wouldn't blow up sounding like a lost member of wu Tang. Eminem is a smart guy, he knows that so he went with the whole slim shady gimmick, dissing pop stars, his moms kim etc.

Is that his whole catalog? Of course not but that's pretty much how he promoted himself out the gate for the first 5 albums. I'm not saying its a bad or that it sucks. it gothim his deal. I like it I bought all his albums but yes I'm pretty sure slim shady was his gimmick. How else would you explain the change from infinite to the slim shady ep

 

[Stew]

Probably Jimmy Iovine

 

[Weazel]

Not my favourite Em joint, but shit was cold as fuck tho

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

I'm not sure cause it was the slim shady ep that got him noticed by Jimmy in the first place

There were black rappers that didn't portray that image before Eminem. So what exactly does this mean?

A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Busta Rhymes, Fresh Prince/Will Smith etc had success and weren't all about money, cars, drugs etc.
