And last, I wholeheartedly disagree with the statement that "anyone can talk while there is a loud bass behind him." The complexity of the lyrics that Eminem has been known to produce off the top of his head astounds most people, including myself. His ability to think on his feet (freestyle) can probably only be matched by very few. The bass may provide a rhythm, but it doesn't automatically infer an ability to rap.

Actually he's is not freestyling because he thinks this CRAP up before he produces it... I don't know why you are draggin the Ramones into this because they are not rap and don't just dance around like an idiot saying they are going to kill themselves and how tough life is even though they are living in million dollar homes and have 20 different cars... So don't even try to bring them in... It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't even write that crap like all some of the other pop bands(well you can't call them bands if its just one person singing other peoples stuff)... The fact is is that he is not a poet he just talks about howtough life is even though he has a great life and he talks about how he beats his wife (ex. (i forget the name of the song but it goes like this) "I'm gonna kill you b****")... To me my friend that is not music or poetry that is unexceptable CRAP... If you want real poetry/music listen to a little song called No Surprises by Radiohead... Now that is a work of art...
