RE: Eminems success / labels future

["Paul Weissman" <paul@nioterra.com>]

Wow... Eminem is one of the best MCs out there, in my opinion... or at 
least
one of the better ones.  Before he made it big he won several notable
freestyle battles against some pretty decent MCs.  And while the content of
his rhymes might piss some people off, the rhymes themselves are pretty
tight.  Although, I haven't sat down to check out his latest.

But hey, different strokes for different folks, right?  I just saw that
Chuck D comment... he was great, for sure... but rhyming has come a long 
way
since then.
