who in t he world can RELATE to what eminem raps about? probably about 500 people, and they dont hear his lyrics because they dont sell cds in prison, and you cant listen to shit if you are dead. so i disagree with u saying people like eminem because they can relate to getting fucked in the ass by their stepfathers or taking tons of drugs or putting nine inch nails through their eyelids. i personally like eminem because its the only rap that a room could go silent, just to hear the lyrics.
