quoted 2 lines saying Eminem is more talented than artists like Phonem, µ-ziq, Richard> saying Eminem is more talented than artists like Phonem, µ-ziq, Richard > James, etc. etc. than you have to be smokin' some mighty fine crack.
Content aside, I have to say, Eminem's ability to rhyme and string words together is quite impressive. I am quite skeptical when it comes to music with a lot of dick-swaggering attitude behind it, but a friend of mine had me sit down and actually listen objectively to the way this guy puts words together and I feel the guy really is quite talented. Reminds me of Bob Dylan. Again though, I am side-stepping content and just looking at word choice and placement. As far as Phonem goes though... ...heh, I really don't think I even have the ability to compare the two. Something I am curious about though, how do you feel about Funkstroung's remix of the Wu-Tang track on additional productions? That's got quite a bit of the hard edged rap feel to it, but yet it is also has a lot of IDMy tweaks to it. Personally I think it is a great fusion of the two. I only mention this because that is what first got me interested in the melding of the two genres, and now I can't get enough of it. -c --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
