Guess Who's Back?

"Cause nowadays these kids, jeez
Don't give a sh*t about lyrics
All they wanna hear is a beat and that's it
Long as they can go to the club and get blitz
Pick up some chicks and get some digits
And the DJ's playing them hits
Oh, this my jam, this my sh*t
We don't know a word to a verse,
All we know is the chorus
'Cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us
And the songs ginormous, the whole formula's switched
'Cause we don't know anymore, what are hits
Is it the beat, is it the rap?"

          -Syllables by Eminem

Told ya. Em knows how to tell it.

I was doing some pretty intense thinking today, and ended up with this: Eminem's songs generally fall into one of four categories:

1. The sillier, nonsensical songs (We Made You, The Real Slim Shady, Just Lose It, etc.)

2. Songs about his real life (Mockingbird, Hailie's Song, The Way I Am, etc.)

3. Generally mainstream songs (Like Toy Soldiers, Stan, Cleanin' Out My Closet. etc.)

4. The incredibly twisted, mental, phsycotic songs (3 AM, Kim, Just The Two of Us, etc.)

Probably isn't anything new to anyone. Just thought I'd point that out. Personally, I like the the songs about his actual experiences more than the sillier, nonsensical stuff, but that's just me. And who doesn't love stuff like "3 AM"? Those kinda songs are usually pretty epic.

That's all I have the energy for today. So long, and good night.
