having talked about Kobe, about basketball. now i wanna write something about music, about my favorate rapper Eminem.
i used to like Chinese pop, but they’re sometimes in the same style. who’s kinda bardian is Jay Chou, whose songs are relatively classified as R&B. the following period i fell in love with Linkin Park’s music, alternative rock & metal. I like LP very much because its hybrid theory, mixing different types of music up. and Mike(Fort Minor)’s rap also let me like rap more and more.
what about rap? the first time i knew rap is about the age of 10. it’s about Snoop Dogg & 2pac. They let me know the world of Hip-Hop. But unfortunately, i didn’t like it very much. at that time i still liked Jay Chou i think.
8 mile this movie is the gate of my love of rap. i first knew about the rap battles, freestyle rappers’ rap. it impressed me very much. Bunny Rabbit, a very bardian individual that affected me so much. then i knew he’s Slim Shady, Eminem, Marshall Mathers. I fell in love with him as I fell in love with rap.
8 mile is still the most impressive item in my mind about rap till now. i often see it again when i feel upset just like when B.Rabbit broke up with her girlfriend. it always tells me to do something just like him, something that i really love, you’re really clinging to.
I don’t have idea about which rap song is my favorate. i cant tell exactly. I think the song i like most all the time is Lose Yourself and When I’m Gone.
Lose Yourself because of the Movie. when i stare at b.rabbit walking away with his rabbit ears sign, the music will start to play. impressively moved, i will can’t help myself rapping with my speaker. that’s also the only song i can rap… haha
When I’m Gone is a relatively new song from EM, from the curtain close LP, i can hear whine from him, he’s perhaps not rapping there, he’s about crying. to Hailie, to all the fans. I think this kind of classic songs can only be produced when a great man closes his curtain.
I still fancy Eminem though he’s been in retirement for a long period. but i’m still supporting him, he’s still develop his Hip-Hop empire in another way, just like his guy Dre. he’s becoming an producer. he found 50cent and pushed him to the thron of rap king. however, EM is also willing to give us a re-up. When i heard the vigorous intro of Eminem presents: the re-up, heard of we’re back. i knew Em’s back, he’s really back. and rumors always tell us that he will release his new LP this fall, i’m really expecting for it.
So in China, there aint many people listen to rap, listen to Eminem.Some think that it’s kinda filthy, full of explicit content, i say no.dirty words is an art of languages, dirty words are produced from sadness and anger, they involve speaker’s emotion. if a rapper without dirty words, we might cannot read the rapper’s emotion.
Eminem is not easily shouting there, he’s truly rapping, talking about what’s in his heart.Em’s raps have an pair of eyes. just staring at the beyond, telling us a man’s stories.
From his raps,
i can always imagine, can feel the pair of eyes, and the soul walking along the 8 mile St, Detroit.
