Who else would come up with something like this:

Let your hair down to the track, yeah, kick on back
Boo! The boogie monster of rap, yeah, the man's back
With a plan to ambush this Bush administration, mush the Senate's face in, Push
this generation of kids to stand and fight for the right to say Somethin' you
might not like, this white hot light that I'm under, no Wonder I look so
Sunburnt, oh no I won't leave no stone unturned

Oh no I won't leave, won't go nowhere, do-si-do, oh, yo, ho, hello there
Oh, yeah, don't think I won't go there, go to Beirut and do a show there
Yeah, you laugh till your muthafvckin' ass gets drafted, while you're at Band
camp thinkin' the draft can't happen
Till you fvck around, get an Anthrax napkin, inside a package wrapped in saran
wrap wrappin'
Open the plastic and then you stand back gaspin', fvckin' assassins hijackin'
Amtracks crashin'
All this terror America demands action, next thing you know you've got Uncle
Sam's ass askin'
To join the Army or what you'll do for they Navy
You just a baby, gettin' recruited at eighteen
You're on a plane now, eatin' their food and their baked beans
I'm twenty-eight, they gonna take you 'fore they take me

Crazy insane or insane crazy? When I say Hussein, you say Shady
My views ain't changed, still inhumane, wait, arraigned two days late, the
date's today, hang me!

I'm sorry. I really don't see what part of those lyrics qualify calling him a genious. I've seen middle school kids write as well.
I'm not saying that I don't like Eminem's music, but you guys who think his lyrics are musical genious... I disagree.

That's a great song, the kid can write good lyrics.


I can't endorse Em without mentioning a few other top notched lyricists

Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Canibus
Nas
Immortal Technique
Black Thought

I like these lyrics better...

Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
ashes were the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

OH LORD YEAH!

I dont think musicians or actors should preach politics to kids, especially Eminem, who talks about violence as acceptable

So there should be a law forbidding musicians and actors from speaking their mind on political topics?
