So. After finally experiencing the hype...what can I say?

It's refreshing to begin the first mile with the articulate lyricism of pre-East-West Biggie and finish the 8th mile with the emotional intensity of just-before-Vegas Pac, granted the movie still managed to pull off crazy reviews with retardo names like Lickity Split, Bunny Rabbit, Papa Doc, and Future. It's a different side of the massively-mega-maniacal Em that constantly drives his image from Einstein-at-the-mic to homophobic-fanatic; here he's a nervous, uncontainably-vomiting piece of pity, a victim of project-Detroit on the wrong side of the race-line.

Bear with me, but the most apt comparison I can even think to find regarding Eminem battling the rap-world, is Beethoven. (WTF?) Yeah. Beethoven. As in Ludwig Van. Think about it.

For the musicians out there: Why is Beethoven great? As a musician, we never think twice, that yes, in fact - Beethoven was deaf! To the rest of the popular-non-classically-educated world, the genius of Beethoven is as such: he's a great composer, cuz he was deaf - he couldn't even hear the shit he was composing and it was still pretty decent, right? Well for the classical musicians, nobody gives a second thought to the fact that he was deaf. Most of us even forget that he even WAS deaf. He was just great. Genius. Deaf or not. Period.

For the hip-hop elite: It's similar, if not completely parallel. Why is Eminem great? Certainly not because he's white, and for the majority of the time we listen to his rhymes, most of us forget that he even IS white. He thrives off his talent. Genius. White or not. Period.

Y'all think I'm on crack now. Fuck you. Just think about it. Beethoven : Deaf = Eminem : White. Rekhanize, bitch.
