I personally like him. I do feel however, that it is the parents fault for letting their kids buy the cds that may be a bad influence on them. I think all of the explicit cds should be in a separate section in the music stores, similar to the porno tapes that are sold in video stores. That may help the situation a little better. So for all those parents who feel that Eminem is a bad influence on their children, they better take a step back because it all starts at home...where's the discipline? Obviously, the parents are allowing them to listen to his cds. Therefore, it causes them to rebel. I don't know...maybe I'm not making sense, but I just thought I would add my opinion. Maybe some of you can understand what I'm trying to say...
