my little secret

i really enjoy (a limited selection) of eminem's repertoire. i feel like his stories, however vulgar and seemingly seedy, are real. he has a passion and a what the eff edge that i find unique and entertaining. this intrigue began a few years ago when being forced to watch 8-mile and it turned my scrunched up face into a head-tilt "hmm" look of understanding.

now i don't listen to the guy every day, but he does find his way through the ipod shuffle and it always captivates my interest. also, i should post a disclaimer, that amy and i have deleted some of the more overtly offensive songs we downloaded. and my sister, the music aficionado, will probably scold me for not knowing his political positions on issues, his age, or any of his direct influences. nonetheless, eminem will continue to find a welcome home on this mp3 player.

rat-a-tat-dat...

a few years back, i noted a strong interest for the musical ar-teest, eminem.

while this tender spot for the motor city lyricist has ebbed and flowed through those turnings of the celestial bodies, so to has been a (somewhat more mild) intrigue in snoop dogg.

i find that it is more the tones, beat, and catchyness of snoop that catches my ear, more so than the entrancing lyrics of eminiem.

alas, there is a mood and place for all musicians, isn't there?
