    YES!

    Although i do like abit of Eminem's music, but only cos he talks about his kids and his life.

    Other than that, its all about $ex, drugs, getting laid.

    Well if you look at Eminem and other white rapers it should stand for Rednecks Attempting Poetry.

    I don't like rap music either but I despise the word 'retard' used as an insult... much like the word gay..

    its typical for people who knows nothing about rap music to judge the entire genre through the same media where they listen to their lady gaga, taylor swift bubble gum bs...

    Nope, not at all.

    I like rap but not what you hear on the radio :)

    There's something called underground rap that has a deeper meaning.

    Than just $$, girls, and cars.
