I Am Reviewing Eminem 's Latest Album Marshall Mathers Lp2

It reminds me how the poor kids are walking around the wealthy street and questioning the democracy and equality in this nation, and I think Eminem has challenged the thought of inequality in his life, going from extreme rags to one of the biggest rap stars in the history of music. The kids think it is unfair that bad things happened to them and they could also not afford things and Eminem takes a similar idea of being down and in a trailor part in Detroit, and then climbs out of there. He does not have a car and cannot get a fancy job, but still tried to build himself up the ranks. His mother always believed in him and wanted him to be successful, just like Miss Moore did in the kids she was teaching. Miss Moore tried to teach the kids life lessons rather than book knowledge, which in the real world, a lot of the time street smarts and common sense is much more useful than book smarts.

The Black Power Mixtape follows momentous events between 1965 and 1975. It is directed by two Swedish directors, and their nationality is very important for the layout of the film. The film takes place during the Civil Rights Movement, and included leaders such as Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers. This was also during the time of the Vietnam War, whom Sweden saw a useless war. The heads of this country were the Nixon Administration, and Lyndon Johnson’s administration.

The most lyrically rich track comes next as a two part analysis of the cities violence. After a few minutes of boasting of getting women, becoming famous, and selling only the finest of ganja, and after a silent 20 second break, Chance lyrically pours all his feelings on the violence and paranoia he has had to witness and endure. Though while he’s rolling with a gun on his hip, a blunt on his lip, he’s not mirroring the violence, but admitting to the accompanying fear and hoping for change. Something that a lot of Chicago rappers could take note of. He wants to be “Captain save the hood” asking media members and really the white community why no one cares about the travesty that is the hood. “They murking kids, they murder kids here. Why you think they don’t talk about it? They deserted us here. Where the fuck is Matt Lauer at, somebody get Katie Curic in here. Probably scared of all the refugees. Looks like we had a fucking hurricane here.” Truth hurts, and that is ever so apparent in his last few lines, “Everybody’s dying in the summer,

Eminem was one of the first single white rappers to stand out and started to complete tear down that wall that was separating whites and blacks in the Hip-Hop and rap genre. However, it wasn’t just a walk in the park for Marshall Mathers. As a young child, he spent a lot of his underprivileged childhood going back and forth from his rural hometown to the urban area of Detroit. He had an early dip into the Rap culture where he was assembling his own lyrics at the age of 14. At such of a young age, he dealt with many family troubles mostly being a drug abusing parent and

Kanye West has proven himself over time that he is much more than just a producer. With each new album he releases, he constantly pushes the boundaries of music influencing artist across all genres. Kanye has an ever evolving sound that changes almost year to year. Kanye West’s Yeezus album is an album that takes a much darker and more minimalist turn in his discography. This approach to music makes Yeezus a much harder album to listen through because it is not filled with nice, polished sounds. Having the album made this way makes us look over what the message of a song and the album are. Among many rough songs one the most popular on the album was Blood on the Leaves. Blood on the Leaves samples from another song called Strange Fruit sung by Nina Simone which is a very political song talking about gruesome lynchings that happened before and at the turn of the century. With help from the sample, West uses the pain of lynching and drug abuse to compare with the break ups he goes through.

Youngster gave Eminem credit for keeping it genuine in light of the fact that his melodies are all in light of reality, well at any rate that is the thing that he makes everybody think. His verses are all in view of his life and how intense it was for growing up where he did. Many individuals can identify with his verses and that is the reason he gets acknowledgment for keeping it genuine. It is imperative to the audience to have the capacity to identify with the verses of a melody and that can just happen if the verses have some truth behind them. It is vital for verses to be reality based in light of the fact that many individuals use music as a type of treatment. Reality based music is all the more fascinating and can snatch the consideration

Eminem is a rap artist who made his debut in rap with the band D-12 and his first solo rap album Infinite 99'. Eminem is a rap artist who took the rap world by storm because he spoke his mind. He is a very good rapper and at the time it was predominantly black people who rapped and were successful so people were surprised when a white rapper was on top of the rap world. He is a very controversial artist with a lot of profanity, and being so open about societal topics. One of his most controversial songs is "Mosh" it is a song protesting Bush's presidency. This song was strategically released the October before the 2004 elections.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, going under the stage name Eminem, is an American rap artist, record producer, and actor goes down as one of the best-selling artists of the early 21st century. He was discovered by Dr. Dre after dropping his second album, The Slim Shady LP. After years of failure, his hard work finally paid off.

As discussed earlier, ‘M.A.A.D City’ is all about his life in Compton, the flashbacks, memories, regrets and a small biography. How he had to survive and deal with the living there. This song begins with an A rhyme scheme then continues into, B all the way until N. The first nine lines is his introduction to the song. He first lets everyone know that the two gangs of Pirus Bloods and Crips would get along, he would be dead by the end of the song which was for five minutes and fifty seconds. That would be all the time they needed to kill him. He is also assuring people that he is no longer associated with gangs, he is a changed person. Ending the ninth line reminding everyone that the two gangs that run Compton and how they would get him because there would be no way out (Rap Genius). Saying, “This M.a.a.d City I run my nigha” assuring him, that they run this town and that if he would walk into their streets, all you would hear is gunshots.

Close to the Edge: The Representational Tactics of Eminem a comprehensive essay written by Marcia Alesan Dawkins, provides a concrete, insightful examination of the strategy and tactics used by a Caucasian artist to integrate himself into the predominantly African-American and Latino dominated sub culture of hip-hop. The purpose of this document is to illuminate the methods utilized by what Dawkins calls the Other to seamlessly sneak into a racially charged social group and gain acceptance amongst its critics and audiences. This is someone who would otherwise be labelled as an outcast from the point of view of its patrons. Such methods draw from Michel de Certeau’s stages of cultural navigation, which Dawkins makes use of to support the

The two West Coast MC’s discuss black culture, racism, fame and image. Kendrick realizes that he is the new voice for the people and is now included in a long line of leaders. Like Mandela, Malcolm, MLK, and Tupac, he understands that he has a limited time, and when speaking with Tupac he learns that he has to reach out to the youth and recruit them to change the world. If they do not change the world, he has to at least be the spark for someone to do so. He then finishes the album by reciting a spoken word poem, about the black man being destroyed by the system that is inherently built against him. However, Kendrick takes this one step further by not only criticizing the system that oppresses young black males, but by criticizing his own people for buying into the self-destructive narrative sold to them by society. As the “caterpillars are trapped in the mad cities they call home seek to pimp out the butterflies around them”, so too does Kendrick diagnose the problem for his own people who are caught in a perpetual struggle for self-identity, self-love and self-respect (Duckworth, 2015). The polarityor conflict between his call to greatness (“illest Negus alive”) and his own personal problems, acts as an analogy for the larger tension between those caught in the ghetto and those who grow their wings and fly (Duckworth, 2015). This is the world he knows the world he paradoxically

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

Growing up in a very rough and poor town living in a small 747-square-foot home (often depicted on album titles such as his newest album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (Deluxe)) showed the rough conditions of Marshall’s hard child life (“Eminem” Contemporary). Every day was a new battle for this young man. Constantly fighting his way to the top with not only his fist but also his lyrics and quick rhymes. Marshall’s father had walked out on him and his

The song "Stan" was recorded in 1999 by arguably the best rapper of all time; Eminem. The song is based on an obsessive fan named Stanley, but is referred to as Stan throughout the song. Stan confesses that he is the Eminems biggest fan. This is explained by the numerous letters that Stan has written to Eminem. The letters are written to the artist and every new letter brings out more obsession of Stans love for Eminem. His obsession excalates to anger when Eminem fails to communicate back. Each unanswered letter leads to more anger and he gives up writing letters to the artist. Although he stops writing Eminem letters, he attempts a new form of communication. This new way of communication will not only capture Marshalls attention, but for Eminem to respond.

Besides all the foul language, Eminem’s depressing song has a deep message to it. I can relate it to it besides the fact he talks about him overcoming his drug addiction. The song talks about depression and eventually by the end of the song he talks about expressing optimism and hope for a better future. Em says that as a kid , moving school to school, he would try to blend in with the room and try to seek extra attention to be that cool kid. Unfortunately, I could relate to him. As a kid I would always try blend in with everyone. I would go as far as trying to make fool out of myself to try to seek that extra attention. But as I started getting older, I started to realize that all of it wasn’t worth trying to seek attention. Anyways, in the
