Eminem...

He just won my devotion by mentioning Elvis. He compares himself to Elvis. Intelligently.

Eeee!

And he's great at rhymes. Fuck.

Now this looks like a job for me.
So everybody, just follow me.
'Cause we need a little controversy,
'cause it feels so empty without me.


Although the chorus isn't the best example of said talent, come to think of it. Heh.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That was my very favorite thing! Because I just took this rock and roll class and we talked alot about Elvis and his place in music and i think Eminem is very similar. I even wrote a little thesis on it. And then he said it in the song! I got so excited, lol.

He is! The whole growing up listening to tradionally black music and then becoming the first well-known white man to kick-ass at it, opening up the genre. Very cool.

And eee! It's very cool.

And it amuses me in another way, because I like comparing *nsync to Elvis sometimes.

Yeah, rhyming "me" with "me." Twice. Genius. He's the new Sondheim!
