Many people dislike Eminem and are offended by his lyrical content, and rightfully so. I absolutely agree that he is offensive, crude, vulgar and often overboard in every department. Still, when i listen to any hip-hop, the talent and wordplay of the artist always means just as much to me as (if not more than) how catchy the song is itself. Eminem's song topics and content have certainly gotten repetitive, but his flow and delivery have always been and will always be impeccable. I has its hits and misses, but Relapse has for the most part made its way into my daily music rotation. He still manages to shock and impress me with his lyrics. I definately wouldn't recommend the new album for anyone who's tired of him talking about homicide, or didn't like him to begin with; but hardcore fans and anyone who appreciates lyrical talent will be able to at least tip their hat to his latest effort. Besides, songs like Drake's "Forever" show us that he certainly has a lot more to offer, and hasn't fallen off yet.
