Critics also argue that Eminem is highly misinterpreted as misogynistic, when his controversial lyrics resemble classic literature. For instance this segment features a man considering robbing a liquor store:.
Dre] Alright, stop! His lyrics from Stan are so violent that he has been accused of being misogynistic. The lines below are excerpts from the song:. Marshall familiarized himself with the greats until storytelling was as natural as drawing breath. He may have started by imitating the pioneers who came before him, but Eminem soon blended their legacy into his own brew that was like nothing else.
One has to wonder just how long he spends on each song, considering how securely each syllable is cemented in place.
Not only can Em craft a compelling argument in prose, he can also structure it in a way that would dazzle Dr. Only fastidious editing can pull the written word so taut. One of the things that makes Eminem so polarizing is that his message flies from mind to mic with only the thinnest filter in between.
Listening to his music is like tuning into a live therapy session that would make Tony Soprano seem stable by comparison. Marshall pares his arguments down to the marrow. His intuitive sense of flow allows him to seamlessly drift from the measured cadence of ordinary speech to an unrivaled intensity of verse, but it is always the power of his writing which enables him to drive his point home with such precision.
Be tireless and undaunted. Marshall paid his dues in underground clubs as the only white boy to step up and take the mic. I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed. I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage. Em knew that no one was about to hand him anything. If he wanted his voice heard, it was his job to spread it. To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me, as a monger of hate and Satan — a scatter-brained atheist. Or is he the latter — a gateway to escape?
Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today. Eminem used this narrative as both a means of self reflection and as a response to the many critics questioning the cultural impact of his music.
From the simple lo-fi beats of his earliest work to the wicked carnival rhythms which characterized his partnership with Dr. Eminem has a history, going all the way back to his first major release, of addressing critics head on without flinching. How much damage can you do with a pen? Marshall Mathers is complicated and undeniably controversial, and though his critics would correctly point out that his music is filled with hate and vitriol, few of them seem to acknowledge that he is also manipulating his own material, taking his arguments to such ridiculous extremes that he turns them into farce.
You can find him at SterlingAndStone. He was ferociously honest and genuinely angry, which drove the story even harder into the listeners. Eminem told his story to an extreme. By telling your story to an extreme, you guarantee your remarkableness. Eminem is the man, not only is he an unbelievable artist throughout the past decade but he has been an artist that has touched many different emotions of his life.
The man is simply a marketing genius. Eminem has truly been such a back and forth icon in my mind but I think you hit the nail on the head in praising him for what he is good at and giving caveat to those subjects in which he creates controversy. Hmmm… that gives a few ideas though. Gabe, indeed, mockery can be a very powerful weapon to weaken your enemies. Or at least your critics. I went in sulking and was caught by the story, his acting, the production and the slam scenes.
The music still irritates me, but respect where it is due. I always remember the interview of him talking about how he would just go through the dictionary and find words that rhyme together. He did mention that he would actually learn what each word meant so oh it makes sense when he was using the words in his wrapping. Just knowing more words and the meaning of them can make you a better writer. Eminem is definitely a genius and this article shows that there is a lot you can learn from this man.
Back in the days when I used to teach, I would see kids like that get discounted or ignored all the time. As you pointed out Sean, everyone has a significant story to tell if we are willing to really listen. Kind of goes back to something Chris Brogan talks about. I wonder what would happen if we spent more time listening. It might just allow us to improve our own storytelling as well. By exposing himself in the way that he does, it allows all his other arguments to rise to the surface, bold and believable.
I still have hope that the guy will grow up and hit his full potential one day. Thanks for the compliment, Spenser. An extreme skill well employed. I look forward to your slam post! Claus: Thanks, Claus. Thanks for the recommendation! Stacey: My absolute pleasure, Stacey. Dean: Wonderfully said, Dean. One of the reasons my wife urged me to listen to Eminem was precisely because of her twenty years as a teacher.
Suzie: Awesome question, Suzie. Are you more curious about lyrical content, rhyme scheme or just overall delivery? Eminem is Eminem because he put himself out there. No matter what you do keep trying with all your heart. Forget the people who criticize you to keep you down. Listen to your small still voice and those who provide the best advice. Keep on going every day and an opportunity will avail itself. I respect his uncompromising attitude.
He makes music his music because he believes in it and has an unflinching passion for it. I was about to skip your message but curiosity got a hold of me.
You made my day! You pretty well covered why, and I think a lot of people can learn from him. There is also another group from France that I learned from called Die Form. Granted the content of their songs are questionable, but it was all created by one guy.
He wrote the music, made it, even produced it for awhile. I just think anyone that has the stamina and desire to push themselves that long and hard to succeed is an inspiration.
Even if what they create is questionable at times. I too have had my ups and downs with my opinions of Mr. Mathers, but I agree that he is a one of a kind and his dedication to his craft is something that we can all learn from. I know that what you put into something is normally equal to what you get out of it, so if we all just keep pushing to be the best at our little slice of the world, one word at a time, then we can only go up from here.
May the little Eminem in all of us show through. Watching my two worlds collide like this is a bit shocking. Thanks for writing about it in this forum, where I bet not many people have listened to his music. He knows his life. He knows what that life is about. He knows our lives. He knows what we are about. With levels revealed breaking down through the bull he exposes truth in all of us. If you really listen. Like 79, other readers, I get Copyblogger posts everyday.
This was the first time I felt compelled to comment. Brilliant post. Your ability to compare your advice about blogging to Eminem hit home more than ever with this post. While reading it I really felt it was written for me. After finishing the post I felt sure I was on the right path. Thank you for that.
My only questions remain in how much my story can help or hurt my purpose in blogging, and the type of readers I have. It is not always easy to figure out the best way to weave your history into your live, present, daily updates. And should. Thank goodness for Eminem. Sean, like some of the folks here, it really never occurred to me to take a second look at Eminem.
So thanks. Hello Sean, I started not to read your posting about the person covered here. But I ran across one of your statements which I am going to paste below for your reader and you to use for a comparison:.
The writings I am recommending are not from a lyricist or a songwriter instead they are from a simple man writing letters to his friends while he is in prison. He writes more on the positive areas mentioned in your statement I pasted above.
This writer effectively writes about leadership, power, passion, and yes, tender compassion. This writer, also, writes of the guilt, sorrow, and shame our walks bring us while etching out our own paths in life. This writer gives us the full insight of how our paths can be walked in the light and as the light of the world, because of 1 man. Some of his letters are called books and have been published world wide.
They have been read, discussed and dissected by millions of people. Scholars, teachers, professors, dictators, emperors, kings, politicians, laymen, and all walks of life. Come to think of it, the writer of these letters has stood in front of scholars, teachers, professors, dictators, emperors, kings, politicians, laymen and all walks of life to witness and testify of this 1 man.
The 2 mentioned above are just a couple of his wonderful letters. A few other copies of his letters are called Colossians, Philippians, and Galatians. You will really enjoy reading those, too. After he gives the examples of these very successful people in their walks through life, he lets everyone else in on the formula of how to be successful.
Let me mention something about the successful people in the examples the writer discusses. They started out just like all of us, people with nothing but a dream, a goal, one that could and can be accomplished. Check it out! You may never be the same. You may never look at your dream the same as you had in the past.
You many never set your goals the same way you had up to the point of finishing reading this letter. Amy: No doubt. Rafa: My absolute pleasure, Rafa. Endless practice is the duty of the winner, and a mantra Copbylogger rightly preaches. Chris: Absolutely.
One word, one post, one day at a time indeed. Shane: I agree. Marshall is confrontational with his critics and feeds of their judgement. It is one of the things which makes him a brilliant marketer, and yes, he always knows his enemies well.
Daniel: There might be even more profanity than most people imagine, but there is far, far less hate mongering. If you really listen you will hear songs that can bring you to tears.
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes. I walk right up to Kim and kiss her. Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister…. Sarah: That makes me smile wide Sarah. Thank you for losing yourself in my moment. Sonia: My pleasure, but we both need to thank Cindy! Danny: Thank you for drawing a parallel, unique to the discussion. I read through your comment about the person you were covering without skimming and think I understand where you were going.
Here is a quote that illustrates the theme of faith nicely. I think that if these guys were copywriters — they would be killing it — wait — they are!
The battle scenes in it are like his lyrics — genius. I saw an interview with him and he said he was rewriting and perfecting the battle scenes right up until they were filmed. Lessons in good writing, including good copywriting, are everywhere. We should always keep an open mind. Like they say, you are what you read. Reading good writing will dramatically improve your writing skills. I felt sure Eminen offered nothing more than misogynistic, foul-mouthed braggadocio.
I now see Marshall as a social critic—as well as a brilliant musician. His love-hate relationship with his wife, his adoration of Hailie, etc. Stan: Thanks, Stan. So true. The movie is personified perfectly in that song and highlight the raw energy of the battle rather well.
Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself, if they were brown, Shady lose, Shady Sits on the shelf,. You want a body like Brad Pitt then you need to go to the gym every day.
If you want to write like Stephen King then you need to read and write as often as you can. Lorraine: Beautifully said Lorraine. Every word, especially when you busted out with braggadocio and made me smile. I agree on every count — he is a brilliant social critic and absolutely hooks us with his raw emotion. You have said everything that believer to be true about Eminem and more. I have tried to explain to many why his music is so powerful and could not.
Now I have this article to send to the naysayers. Other thing you can take away from em, is he has a great ability to make you believe everything he talks about, something blogger sneed to do is be real and believable. Yeah, eminem is a unique man that produce unique song. This is why he become a big man in music business. We surely can learn something from how he do it and use it in our blogging. Kristina: Yeah, on the surface I wrote the post so I could talk about writing and marketing, but my real aim was so you and I could convert the naysayers one at a time!
John Paul: Thanks, John. And yes, bloggers in general can learn a lot about how real he is and has always been. I like the idea about telling our own stories, digging back into our past and what makes us tick and drawing inspiration from that.
All too often, no matter how many of us bloggers want to do it, fear holds us back when the finest writing can only come when we let it all out and free ourselves. This is such an intriguing, I would never have expected to read about eminem who I admit, I have never given a chance for the same reasons as you on copyblogger… but it makes sense, very good post. Thank you! I have to say: You Got Me. Eminem is my favorite rapper. Yet, I never looked at him they way you just examined him.
I think the reason I love him so much is because he is so personal and unique. His stories touch you and resonate with you. You know they are real because of the detail and the imagery that he uses. Only people who have been there are able to tell it like it. One thing that I liked the most from your article that you noticed is the fact that he was speaking from his experience and not making things.
It seems like he put himself out there for everybody else to see. How many of us would be able to sacrifice our personal lives and tell the rest of the world about every vice that we have done in our lives? He connects the same sounds several times in an impressive display of skill.
He admits that his bad temper is often on full display in his tracks, as he writes about how he feels. Alongside the temper comes the poor language, which has been known to cause outrage from parents.
A major theme within his work, which has received heavy praise, is his representation of difficult lives, including his own. I got to see my Uncle Elton tonight at the Oscars.
