An Eminem listener said in one of his reviews: "My favorite music-wise
is "Drug Ballad." I love the beat on this one, it's the type you crank
up and roll down the windows so everyone else can hear. The lyrics
definitely don't send the right message, telling stories of drugs and
being addicted to them. I sort of tune out the lyrics and focus on the
music." I had heard the song "Drug Ballad" only
once before I heard it in class. I liked the beat very much and
understood what the song was about; however, I had never stopped and
listened carefully to see if there were more than just lyrics, a
message, behind his words. I think this song is very interesting. More
than just cursing and humor, it also has a message. It involves
someone (either a friend or himself) who was using drugs and had a
very miserable life because of his or her decision of being involved
with drugs and in an unhealthy society.
I think that what he does is take his message to youth of today when
most of the teenagers are rebels and obscene. He probably thinks that
the best way of getting to them is with someone who has been through
hard times, and hasn't had an easy childhood (just as Eminem) talking
to them in their same "language". I do agree with what PWilliams,
Macmatt and Sammi1 wrote in their reviews: his songs are not for kids
and sometimes some sensitive people may feel uncomfortable by his
lyrics or what he tries to say in his songs. His records do
contain a lot of explicit lyrics, most of it is obscene and many times
he can be misunderstood because he is somewhat abstract; he doesn't
show every single detail of what he sings about. However, he's got a
good point in each of his songs.
Eminem's childhood was not filled with balloons and cotton candy: his
childhood was tough and unhappy to the point of profanity and
obscenity. However, there is one thing I admire more than anything
about him: and that is how much he loves his daughter, Hailie. He
mentions his daughter in many of his songs. A few days ago, I was
downloading music from the internet. The title of a song by him caught
my attention more than the rest. The song's name was "Hailie's Song",
so I downloaded it.
In "Hailie's Song", Eminem talks about his daughter, ad of how happy
he is to have her. A part of the chorus says "Sometimes it feels like
the world is on my shoulders", meaning that his daughter means the
world to him. He also mentions how things change and actually make
sense when he looks into his daughter's eyes.
I also downloaded another song called "Dear Marshall". Eminem's real
name is Marshall Mathers. This song is dedicated to Eminem from his
mother's point of view. It has a slow and mysterious
beat that gives it a little bit of depression, and the lyrics are
spoken by his mother. In the lyrics she says that she loves him and
she talks of how she suffered a lot by being a single mother. She says
that she was very happy when he succeeded in music business, but that
she felt very disappointed because of his betrayal. She also says how
she feels that others blame her because of how full of anger her son
is. In the end of the song, she asks him to take responsibility for
his actions and tells him that it's not too late for a change. I once
heard that she made a public comment saying he should've died in place
of another artist that had passed away in those days. I don't know
what to say about this comment, but I do know it's not a nice one.
Like PWilliams said, everybody is conscious of the obscenity and
vulgarity that sometimes is expressed through his music, and it still
being as it is, the record Marshall Mathers LP is a great creation of
Eminem's.
In conclusion, I still think that regardless of all the problems he's
had, Eminem is a great artist and deserves the love of his fans and
audience. I also think that it is very hard to tell when an artist or
his music is good, because everybody has different likes and dislikes.
If anybody would come and ask me, I would say Eminem is a great
artist. I love his music, but many people don't. So I guess it all
depends on the person's likes or dislikes.
