I think you would be surprised by some of the music I like.

GO BEARS!!!

Eminem has always sounded like a whiny bitch to me. I like the 8 mile song, but I just can't stand him.
What's worse is my 15 yr old son likes him...where did I go wrong????

I'm not into rap or hip-hop, but I don't hate it. some of it I like. I just cannot stand the sound of Eminem. He maybe poetic and creative....I just can't get past the sound of his voice.

i think something like this is more indicative of nas' beyond-eclectic tastes in music if anything because he also no doubt thinks LL cool J and canibus are BOTH fantastic!

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Its better if its an NWA but also solo Ice Cube, Dre, Snoop (honorary member), and Eminem


One might leave that concert saying DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNN, THAT SHIIIIT WAS DOPE

Will Eminem be allowed to say "the n word"?

I'm more interested in the movie Straight outta Compton.. Ease E's kid plays his Daddy .

His solo stuff isnt on the level with those guys but the NWA stuff for sure.

either we get rid of (all of the) eminem (talk) on this board or i'm leaving!

on a more serious note, by tribute i assume that em is just gonna do eazy's verses, right? it's gonna be weird to see him up there all STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON (or GAY OUTTA COMPTON as this thread would have me believe) --- and are ppl gonna secretly/hope that eminem is allowed to ad-lib a little bit and change stuff up? any freestyles/new-verses for a track or two? is this strictly a 100% eminem-is-eazy-e joint, or is a whole lot of the early buying in for em-as-eazy people kind of hoping he can take some artistic license with the NWA material and come up with something better, seeing as eminem is no doubt better than eazy-e at rapping.

will he also go to an AIDS party to get 100% into character in the spirit of figuratively-AND-literally balls-deep-method-acting?

this veered a bit off course...

yeah about that i was genuinely asking if eminem is 100% doing eazy's verses/lyrics and only eazy's verses lyrics.... cuz while the "casting" of eminem as eazy-e is a nice publicity stunt and all that, i don't understand why eminem as eazy is such a gamechanging "oh hell yeah i'm down and a half" type situation if all he's doing is NWA karaoke up on stage while trying to look hard and not in that "GAY OUTTA COMPTON" type way. you could literally have a dog in a raiders hat on stage randomly walking around sniffing everyone's asses while they play a tape of eazy's verses and it'd accomplish just about the same thing as having eminem up there doing 100% eazy-e material (which was prolly a bunch of ice cube material if you get down to it)

i could see the hoopla if eminem was going to take some of that aforementioned artistic license and change up stuff a little bit, or maybe they even give him an original verse or two on some of the "classic" songs. if ppl here want snoop to be an honorary NWA member for their ideal NWA "hey go see our movie too" tour, well then i think they're kind of secretly hoping that eminem is allowed to rise up and do some new/better-than-eazy shit up there on stage with cube and the guys.

so is it confirmed that he's only doing 100% eazy-e stuff, or have they teased that you might get a little bit of superior lyricism/rapping from the superior lyricist/rapper and the prospect of THAT on stage with a reunited NWA = why everyone is AWWW HELL YEAH ??

I dont think he'll be doing Eazy's parts persay. Maybe like one or two verses (More likely original members or crowd will do Eazy). I think he's just bringing Eminem to the NWA show.

Then its going to suck ..He can flow . no doubt , I bet he'd cover him real good . but they should a had an open audition n done better .
