I don't want to see it. I like some of his songs, but I don't care to see a movie about Eminem.

the movie its self is not based on eminem's life, it just has some parts that are simalyer thats all. And i think for a first time acter in a movie, he did really well. Its a good movie, and his songs kick ass!!!!!!!!

Yes my spelling sucks, I know that and it can't be changed

I didn't think the movie was THAT great. It was the usual plot of a poor guy that suddenly had success in his life because he believed in himself (as if that would really work)

The freestyle battles were cool though

huh ? of course it would, and the movie is based on Eminems true story, it's not as good as Menace II society or Juice but it's real.
and for me it's the most important thing in a movie about hip-hop.
reality...

the character is very similar to him in many ways, and the story is loosly based off his life. Some of the things that happened are exactly as they happened in Em's life, some are similar, and some are totaly made up. Same goes for the characters.

It's not the best movie i agree but the plot is something new that most of us haven't seen lately. That's why it's good.

eminem. sucks. that's all there is to it.

however i have seen clips from the movie and it looks like it could be good...might need to see it. i'd have to end up downloading it tho cos my parent's wouldn't exactly rent it for me (and i'm a loser without a job (i.e. broke like bill gates minus his money)), so...I guess I ain't gonna see it

I don't plan on watching it. I won't support Eminem. Nor will I support god-awful music like the kind he makes. Nor the money-grubbing machine that puts out this kind of drivel. Eminem sucks donkey cock. As for making a fifth of what Eminem makes... you must really be brainwashed by the whole fake lifestyle and his crappy music. The idea of "you must be jealous because..." doesn't hold water. Simply put, I don't like that kind of music or idiots like Eminem who try to be something they're not. I don't have any respect for someone that intentionally tries to sound cool by speaking in 'ebonics'. The whole act is childish. 8 miles is the distance I'm staying from this steaming pile.

let me put it like this; you run a big mouth about something you dont know, something you didnt take any part in MAKING, I cant judge you for your opinions, cause it's your opinions and no matter how fucked up they are, they are YOURS! so keep it to yourselves. I don't like to judge others but it looks like you leave me no choice.
I like Eminem and his music, and maby to you it's blatent or fucked up, but once again it's your opinions, and I don't know and I don't really give a fuck who you are, to me you're just an empty space - something I cant say about Eminem. what the fuck makes you think you're better then him ?
CGFIEND - "don't like that kind of music or idiots like Eminem who try to be something they're not." SHUT THE FUCK UP!! HE IS NOT AN IDIOT AND HE ISNT TRYING TO BE SOME ONE HE'S NOT !! HE IS REAL AND HE HAS HIS AUDIENCE TO PROVE IT YOU DUMB BITCH !! he has 5 albums + 2 cop. with D-12 + 50+ b-sides/remixes/soundtrack and the misc. there are about 100 other tracks... WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE ?????? NOTHING !! so shut the fuck up. NETFURY... a fifth of Em's production is just as much as you will achieve if you'll die and reincarnate 5 times in a row with a shoved up mic up your ass and fart about your smart ass points of view about reality.. so FUCK YOU, AND WHATEVER YOU DO !!

I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
all this tension dispensin these sentences
Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest
and I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..
but at least have the decency in you
to leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
to not come and speak to me (speak to me)..
I don't know you and no,
I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (of all you)..
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
with all of this nonsense it's constant
And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
And all of this controversy circles me
and it seems like the media immediately
points a finger at me (finger at me)..
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
when you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
with the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
havin this happenin (this happenin)..
then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
to burn and it's burnin and I have returned

I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
that I wish that I would just die or get fired
and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is.."
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..
to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
with an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
the same fuckin questions (fuckin questions)..
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it
I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
But I can't take a SHIT, in the bathroom
without someone standin by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole I'm glad

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

SO SHUT THE FUCK UP !!

I can see from this forum that is dedicated to Emenem in some way or another - to show how Eminem has influenced our lives and such, and how talented he is.
Well, the only thing I see here is disrespect for one another, flame wars up the yin-yang, and an immaturity that can not be matched.
This forum is a true testament to the positive influence that Eminem produces *cough* - look at what Eminem has done to you. Imagine what would have happened if this thread never existed, well, we sure wouldn't have made so many new enemies.
