Eminem Dialectical Journal

And it's at this flourishing age of Hardcore Rap, “Eminem became a legend to be respected and awed with his single heat “My Name Is”.[1]There were many commentary from music commemorators and music producers. As Rolling Stone remarked Eminem is on some serious Dangerfield shit in loser anthems like “My Name Is.” [2]While David Browne wrote that this single and its accompany video were both

After reading these passages written by Malcolm X, I learned some very interesting facts about him. First, I had no idea he was an ex-thug or ganster type. I was also unaware that he was in the prison system and often wrote letters to other people from pimps to politicians.

He wanted to release this song and sway people’s opinions or as he says it give sight to the blind. He strategically released it right before the elections. Eminem has a clear bias against Pres. Bush and the selling point was that he considers him “a weapon of mass destruction” he offered to lead the way to the blind and help them see the truth. There are numerous events in history that would back up the Eminem’s viewpoint such as watergate, and other scandals as it shows that there is clear secrecy and that people are blind to

The average rapper wouldn’t be able to grace the pages of Rap Pages, VIBE, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress and go on a national tour months before their major label debut album is released. Then again Eminem isn’t the average rapper.

In the first scene, Eminem is at an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting trying to stay sober, which implies he is having a hard time in life and he needs to express his feelings. When he walks up to the podium, the camera pans in and out from the head of the mic in the first person, which symbolizes fear or nervousness to speak his mind. His particular issues are that he is never home to raise his daughter Hailie and that he physically abuses his wife Kim. While he is writing songs and leaving for gigs, Kim is slitting her wrists.

This small lyric describe Eminem’s life and his background story when he’s a child and taking drugs. Eminem does not want anyone to end up like him but if you are then he is asking “if you’re trying to get out, just follow me”, If you’re in a situation close to what he went through just follow his guidance, he’ll help you through his lyrics of this song. This song is written depression all over it. Eminem had a rough childhood and background and want to share to the world to show his life was not easy too and want

First of all, both of these art pieces show astonishing and surprising growth of the protagonist. In Tupac’s poem, the rose is a metaphor for the protagonist, which shockingly grew out of a crack in the concrete. “Provin nature's laws wrong it learned how to walk without having feet”(Tupac, verse 3). Nature indicates that a rose can’t grow without soil and water, but this rose is proving nature wrong. This is completely unpredictable because usually a beautiful flower like the rose, would not grow from the hard, rough ground of concrete, but in this case, a marvelous flower grew from hard gravel. “Lose Yourself” is telling a story about a protagonist who extraordinarily shocked the crowd with his miraculous rapping skills. No one anticipated a poor man like him, living in a rough community, could grow to be an astonishing rapper. “I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed”(Eminem,verse 3). This is showing that Eminem

One of the legendary and respected rappers in the US is going to piss Donald Trump off with his new DISS track. Eminem has been very supportive of Hillary Clinton himself. This is going to be a bit of surprise for Eminem fans out there. Not only that, he's also doing this to George Zimmerman who thinks he's a piece of garbage for being a racist. Last night was indeed a hot debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Yes, it's indeed damn hot! You know why? Not only that the debate was an all-around success, but the so-called "Taco Trucks" building a "Great Wall" are also attracting others who protested against the former Celebrity Apprentice boss. The track that Eminem has in store for us in other than the Campaign

Essay One In the music video “Stan” made by Eminem we explore the dark yet complex mind of the character Stan. Stan an obsessed fan and crazed fan of the hip-hop rapper Eminem in the music video Stan is shown getting upset with his girlfriend over his obsession. He constantly writes letters to the Eminem in hopes of him reaching out to him and them possibly becoming friends. In a quote from the music video he says “He sent two letters to him back in autumn and then went on to ask about his daughter along with comparing his pregnant girlfriend to Eminem’s pregnant girlfriend” (Eminem).

Youngster gave Eminem credit for keeping it genuine in light of the fact that his melodies are all in light of reality. Holloway states, “He’s rapping about life—you know, stuff that we go through here. Some of it’s a goof, but some of it‘s real and sounds like it comes from the heart, you know. A lot of can relate to that” (Holloway 144) It is vital for lyrics to be reality based because many individuals use music as a type of treatment. Reality based music is all the more fascinating and can snatch the consideration of the audience. What is more, regarding non reality lyrics the melody can be amusing to listen to, yet it truly has no intending to it is only a fun tune. A few melodies don't have reality based lyrics behind them, yet that

The overall effect that can be taken from “Lose Yourself,” is that you can take a bad situation and turn it into a better one with hard work. Eminem expresses throughout his song you must seize the moment when an opportunity comes your way because if you let it pass there might never be a second chance. Marshall is a rapper who does not sugar coat anything, he expresses his feelings, the truth about himself, the life he lived and accepts whatever comes his way. The goal of “Lose yourself” was to tell its audience “You can do anything you set your mind to, man.” This line is in the outro of the song and it gives the song its overall meaning of success and failure being a mind game.

The second verse goes more into what happened and why it was so hard for him to change. He mentions being depressed after the death of his best friend Proof. He would lock himself in rooms and pop pills to forget and self-medicate his depression. Eminem knew he had a problem but was too afraid to get help because he did not want to look

In case you do not know who Eminem is, the backstory. Marshall Mathers grew up without a dad because his dad left when he was a baby. He grew up with his mom and his brother Nathan. Marshall’s mother took prescription pills that she didn’t need, which caused Nathan to be taken away. Marshall started raping in the underground and was always pushed around and made fun of because he was a white rapper. He later “ruled” the underground. He met another rapper called, Dr. Dre, Eminem released

The reason Eminem was a successful rapper with an extraordinary sales record, more than 172 million albums sold worldwide with fifteen grammy awards and an Academy Award for best original music. Eminem obtained his authenticity by portraying his true identity through his songs explicitly. Unlike other mainstream rappers like Lil Wayne glorifying the theme of sex, drug and abuse through his songs. Eminem does not afraid to sing a different tune by expressing himself and revealing how his past experience establishes his alternative evil side. Yet, not mimicking how other rappers talks about unrealistic and impractical stuffs. He gained his authenticity from the being himself and does not afraid to live his life under thousands of spotlights.

In some of the most scathing lines, Eminem blasts President Trump as a “racist 94-year old grandpa” and draws a line in the sand. In almost battle-like terms, he demands his fans to “decide who you like more” – Eminem or President Trump. He even addresses the undecided, “if you can't decide who you like more and you're split on who you should stand beside, I'll do it for it for you with this.” He then makes an obscene gesture towards the camera.
