You misunderstand. I don't hate Eminem, I just dislike most of his fans; the stereotypical wannabe-gangster types. I personally don't like him, or his music, but this wasn't meant as a dig against him; read what I said in context, I'm referring to the stupid mentality of most people who primarily buy the album, and listen to the music, because it's what everybody else is doing. {Eminem/50 Cent/Nelly/Whoever else is deemed 'cool'}

Heh! What worried me is the songs that could have been good ended up sounding pretty awful.
