I Hate To Love It!

eminem - Shake That



I am not a feminist by any means, however; Eminem has time and time again offered nothing but degrading hits. I absolutley love this song, but hate the message that it sends. I am not the biggest fan of Rap, Hip Hop and RB and I am not a supporter of woman bashing, but this song has got such a beat...and Nate Dog...wow...that voice is sexy. I think its disgusting that music artists (if you can even call Eminem that) can get away with talking about women like this. These rappers are not setting a good example for young boys growing up in todays world (I didn't actually have to say that because that seems fairly obvious, however, we don't stop this kind of behavior). Marshall is not going to be so pleased when someone treats/talks about Hallie like this song...I think he might just bust a cap! I wish Eminem would think about his daughter when he's writing these songs or about young kids everywhere that are listening to his music! All that said...I still can't stop listening to this song!

Here are the lyrics (I have italicized and bolded the lines that shock me):

No doubt about it. The song is really catchy. Most of Eminem's stuff is really catchy. There's a reason he's both commericially successful and also critically acclaimed (Kanye West is another).

But woah what lyrics. You hate to have such awful lyrics go with such catchy music. You wish the music sucked so that no one would listen to it.

And thanks for linking to my blog. I have done the same!

Oh this is the stuff my art aprec classes are made of. amazing that it is actually women ages 12-30 that buy this music the most isnt it????

I agree it does not help little boys to grow up but it does not do a whole lot for the self esteem and pride of women.

How is it humanly possible that we bleep the word fuck on the radio but alow these other lyrics to play!!!!!

I have to stand up for Eminem for a moment. He has also made a song about how he is not responsible for what children listen, as they should not be allowed to listen to this kind of music. There are some arguments that if you are in the spotlight you are automatically a role model and need to think about your behavior. Not thinking about his behavior is what got Eminem to where he is today. I know that there isn't much that you can do when your kids are out of your house, but if you're (you being parents everywhere, not you really) concerned then all these kids shouldn't have the CDs. There used to be a day when it was okay for parents to go into their kids rooms and have some control over their thirteen year olds lives.
I personally enjoy the lyrics. Nate Dogg sings about getting more ass than a toilet seat. I do believe that some comments were passed that with his fine ass voice that could possibly be our ass that he was getting if given the opportunity.
I truly do understand what you're saying, but I can't be a hypocrite when I'm the girl buying the CDs the day they come out.
