Narco News: Eminem's Antidote to September 11th

A surprisingly astute article about Eminem, of whom I'm not personally very fond. (I feel his work is unimaginative, and too much centered around his own silly problems, but hey, what can you do?)

a quote:

"Marshall Mathers knows that out-of-the-closet misogyny - as if fear and hatred of women doesn't exist in newsrooms and boardrooms and other places where language is oh so enforced and clean - is one of the only things that can possibly offend the comfortable editorial class anymore, it works like a charm every time, and so why would he shut up about it now? Mathers and his alter-ego Slim Shady are better journalists than most of us who hide behind that title in order to gossip about other people. Eminem brings us the reality as he and so many of his public have lived it, and doesn't sugarcoat the daily truths of the American underclass.
I mean, would anybody out there seriously argue that the world he describes of young men bitching about bitches doesn't exist? Of course not: The problem is that we're not supposed to admit it except when using very clinical pop-psychology language that strips the fist and the dick and the clit and the rage and the godawful truths from the photo."
