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.

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.
