Whiney literalism

Rating: 1/10 (14 April 2005)

Whiney literal pseudo-biography of someone too fundamentally trendy to deserve movie or even music status.
Sure, Eminem has some fun songs - he has the guts to make fun of everyone else, but when it comes down to himself, everything is just all-too-literal; uninspired this-is-my-life(boo-hoo, I've been hurt) crap. It lacks any insight whatsoever.
This is a man's Cinderella story - rags to riches- Oh, the oppression! As if he was some tortured artist with a real message.
Again, I'm not saying his music isn't fun; it is, but any stab at seriousness comes across as corny, overwrought, girly whining.
Don't even bother. You'll gain nothing. What's the point anyway?
Eminem needs to decide if he wants to bank of mocking trendy celebs (OH, AS IF HE'S NOT ONE OF THEM!), or take a Community College course in writing, because currently/historically, he's had no clue on how to masquerade as as having any depth whatsoever.
He does songs about everybody on his hate-list, over-the-top ridicule. but then he expects to be taken seriously when he feels like it?
Sorry, that doesn't work. Seriously, try English 101.
