some of his lyrics are okay.......some are actually good. He just needs to put them with a style of music that he doesn't totally suck at. Justin Timberlake can write good lyrics........I don't see him acting like some hardcore rapper ready to pop an imaginary cap in you with his unloaded pistol now do I.
Anybody ever seen his concert footage? The only black faces you'll see are on stage (his employees...D12, Obie Trice, 50 Cent, etc.).............and black youths make up the majority of the rap/hip-hop audience.
White suburban teenage boys are the one's who are naive.........they are the ones buying into his gimmick. They think by listening to Eminem, wearing bagging pants, using bad pronunciation and calling people "dog" will make them look as cool as the inner city gang members they saw on the movie "Boyz in the Hood"...........boy are they wrong. They just get laughed at.
