Really? My YF grew up in very similar circumstances. He had no father and lived in a very poor, mostly black neighborhood with his mom. He too loved Eminem and I had to listen to his music because "L" dug it so much. I hate rap music in general and can't stand all the foul language they use in their lyrics, however one thing I can say about Eminem, at least the things he sang or rapped about he really believes in. At least that is the impression I have about him, anyway. I liked the video and I also like his movie. Again, not the music I would ever choose to listen to but I suppose there is worse out there somewhere.
