First of all, VF, I'll deal with the Bill Gates issue first, considering I know much more about him than I do rap artists. It has been proven due to sources the news stations have documented that Gates donates money to many different causes, but he does this for two reasons. Number one, he's in trouble for a monopoly. He has to win favor in many people's eyes, and he does this by donating money to various causes. Secondly, he gets tons of tax right-offs for donating money, and this is his second reason for doing it.

Furthermore, I don't really give a poop what Tupac raps about. If I must, I'll get information on him from Masta since Masta is his biggest fan or whatever. Secondly, I'm not exactly pro-Tupac. I'm pro-Tupac is better than Eminem. In addition to that, I got Eminem's The Eminem Show Album, and I remember a line in one of his songs. It's something to the effect of kids wondering if he raps what he does. Later on in the CD (or maybe before, it doesn't really matter), he talks about shooting people and such because he's some sort of soldier. Yes, well, something tells me you won't blatantly admit to criminal acts you've really commited due to this thing we call a law. Oh yeah, and to add to the list of what Eminem tends to diss. I remember that song White America. Now, based on the title alone, it's all about being racist. Oh, does poor Eminem feel sorry for himself because people don't think white people can rap? Too bad. Oh, and then you can move on to the lyrics of the song. After I listened to it the first time, I had to honestly listen to it a second time just to make sure I heard it right. I don't care what anyone says or seems to think they know, that song is completely and utterly anti-America. People like him make me wish this was a Communist Dictator simply so he'd get executed. And, as I said earlier: I don't care what she's done, you don't disrespect your mom like that. Moreover, Eminem doesn't really run his own company. It's been compared before, and I believe it to be accurate. Eminem runs his company like Schwarzenegger (however the Hell his name is spelt) runs California. He has people do it for him; he's the figure head. To be completely honest, Eminem is not that smart. I know for a fact that VF, Chris, The Shiz, Warmor, and I are all smarter than he is. So, his 'company' doesn't really amount to much other than the fact that he's a good figure head. but, then again, so is Tony the Tiger. He runs his business very well, doesn't he? :sarcasm: I know that someone is going to come along and try to prove that Eminem is some genius or whatever, but he really isn't.

Now to move on to the whole comparison to rock music. First of all, rock music is completely different from rap music, and the two are impossible to compare. I'm a lead guitarist in a band that plays at one of he local *insert whatever word you want to use that is defined by a place where you hang out*, and the two styles of music are so different, they're almost on two completely different sides of the spectrum. Anyways, I'm way too tired to continue this long post anymore.
