I have to admit,"Real Slim Shady" get's to you.Its funny,and I'm also sick of the groups M+M raps about.That's all you hear on the radio,BackSteetBoys,N'Sync,Britney Spears,it starts getting boring.I've been hearing this rap song on the radio,and last night on a "Real World" show.I've never bought a rap record,but I have enjoyed some of the music,like "Bust a Move,"M.C.Hammer,alot of L.L cool J.'s music,and this song.I'm also glad there's a edited version for kids.The part about "Burger King"kind of makes me think.I guess I'll be doing my own cooking for now.

...Quotes controversial rapper Eminem. I Must admite I hated this song at first but it grew on me. First off I'm sick and tired of people dissin' Eminem. Yeah he may be a lil' twisted inside his head at sometimes (Which he clearly states in the song "Yeah I might have a couple screws up in my head loose...") but Eminem is still a good rapper. He mixes Rap and Pop very well...and though the Explicit Version might not be good for childrean to hear it's funny as hell! He really gives us a glimpse of reality. Yes there very well may be a part of us that just wants to let loose and go crazy. Maybe we won't spit on people's onion rings but hey, ya know?! And he also gives us the truth about tv and music is so centered around sex, but even though these resources are available on a daily basis to children we don't expect them to know it all. He also disses today's manufactured girl and boy groups which I Totally agree with. And about a White rapper, c'mon people: rapping is an Art and can be done by anyone no matter what your race is. It's just another factor of racism in today's society. If Eminem was black there wouldn't be anyone talking. ...--Get this Single! It's halarious and flows together very well! ...

I never really liked rap music. But I like Eminem's style, especially in the Real Slim Shady. Lyrically, it's got profanity and many other things that little kids shouldn't be exposed to. But, I loved this song! Eminem can really get all those lyrics together to make them sound good--into a really good rap. Overall, The Real Slim Shady is ultimately a fun song to listen to. I don't think people should take it too seriously, lyric-wise and all. I actually think Eminem is brave to cross the line and speak the craziest parts of his mind (stuff that may be inacceptable to our society). Anyway, it's pretty good.
