I like Eminem

I'd really like to avoid separating people into groups here, but it just seems like some people get it and some don't...

KOD's songs are easy to write. It's the production and delivery that make them entertaining. I'M NOT SAYING that it's bad. I'm just saying that if we're talking about lyricism, then

I know that it's difficult
I'm stackin' this paper, it's sort of habitual
I blow the residual
And fuckin' yo bitch like its part of my ritual
Pardon the visual
But money, it give me a hard-on it's typical
I want it in physical
A million dollars, I count up in intervals
Without it I'm miserable

I mean... seriously... I could write that in less than 5 minutes. Most people could. There's nothing technical about it.

That isn't to say that this sort of music doesn't have it's worth... but for ME PERSONALLY, I value technical ability. I've always felt like diving was a decent analogy for it. Anyone can jump off a diving board into the water. Some people can do a flip. Some people can get insanely intricate without belly flopping. SOME people can do all of that and barely make a splash. The more technical your writing gets, then the harder it is to not make a big ass splash.

Sometimes Em flops on a song, or a lyric, but I don't even agree with the fact that he isn't a good song writer. I just don't think he writes the kind of songs y'all like.

When I'm Gone is a good song.
Believe is a good song.
Untouchable is a good song.
Kim. Stan. 'Til I Collapse. Way I Am. Offended. In Your Head. Castle. Arose.

Those are all well written SONGS.

But hey... I like Eyedea, so. I'm not like most of y'all.
