I also really like the R&B/rap singer Eminem. Trisha hit the spot when she said how he used to be a trouble maker, doing drugs and getting in trouble. When you listen to his old songs compared to his new songs there’s a dramatic change. Not just his songs, but his videos are also very different. He used to be more immature and the songs didn’t have as much meaning they were just like your everyday rap song. Now, they have more meaning of a special meaning behind them about how he wants to get better, which really shows through his song, “Not Afraid.” If you take a look at one of his older songs, “Just lose it,” the video, lyrics, and tone make him look very immature and not grown up at all. In his newer song, “Not Afraid,” Eminem acts more like an adult and doesn’t sing so crazy, and the video is calmer and not kid crazy. He is very similar to Lil Wayne; they’re both rap artists that have been through many of the same hardships in life such as drugs. They both rap about what’s going on in their life and pour out their feeling. Their songs reflect their life, and it’s any easy way to get to know them by just listening closely to their songs lyrics. Eminem is currently trying to get better, but he can’t do this alone. He needs his friends and family by his side through every step to support him along the way. His daughter, Hailie gives him inspiration to get better. No parents wants there kid to be raised with trouble making parents. He wrote a song for his daughter Hailie called “Mockingbird.” The song is very sad and touching if you really listen to the lyrics. Eminem is definitely worth your time and money currently. He’s really matured as an artist and has a lot of talent.
