Great write-up that confirms what a cynical mess he's become. He's like Ben Roethlisberger on a motorcycle. I hope they both recover quickly.

The first time I heard it my college and roomate and I looked at it like it was the most disastrous thing we'd ever heard because his flow was outright terrible. But I was willing to overlook the fact that he can't really rap until his lyrics started being testimonials to the greatness of shopping sprees. I'd rather heear "Poppin' Tags" at this point anyday. At least those dudes could rap well while talking about materialism. It actually took me a while to get into the streets.

Kelly was not so much a hip hop act as a Broadway musical star who lost his way. The whole time he seemed about two minutes away from breaking into a Fosse dance number, complete with pirouttes and jazz hands. And he was UPSTAGING Mike Skinner. <br/><br/>I don't know how they do it in England, but if I want to see someone impersonate a Broadway performance, I'll check out the local college drama departments. Which, sadly, I know all about. Thankyouverymuch. Once again, great review and great critical commentary.

Something wasn't clicking for me. Maybe I'm just xenophobic (although I do love The Go! Team).<br/><br/>It's funny that you wrote about Eminem. I woke up today with an idea for a post about him, noting that he's kind of receded to the background for a minute.<br/><br/>And I responded to your comment in the Big Tuck post.
