At least there was an audience for that back then. It fitted right in with Kid Rock, Howard Stein, WWF, and ICP.
In 2024, however? Who's listening to Slim Shady for shits and giggles? Who does he appeal to? I refuse to believe there are black teenagers that give a shit about Eminem. His true audience were the white trash trailer park kids and blue collar types (who just want take a moment to laugh, Scott) he told to fuck off because they voted Orange Hitler.
And that's another thing. We listened to Eminem back in 1999 because he was funny. He even had a few good serious songs like Stan. None of us sitting around the stereo in awe of his rap skills or gawking at how many syllables he fitted into a bar like bunch of faggot nerds. That's mark shit.
