I have to admit,"Real Slim Shady" get's to you.Its funny,and I'm also sick of the groups M+M raps about.That's all you hear on the radio,BackSteetBoys,N'Sync,Britney Spears,it starts getting boring.I've been hearing this rap song on the radio,and last night on a "Real World" show.I've never bought a rap record,but I have enjoyed some of the music,like "Bust a Move,"M.C.Hammer,alot of L.L cool J.'s music,and this song.I'm also glad there's a edited version for kids.The part about "Burger King"kind of makes me think.I guess I'll be doing my own cooking for now.

The "Real Slim Shady" is a musically catchy song. Some of the lyrics are even quite funny. but then there is that language... I'm not sure what possesses an artist to include such explicit words and subject manner. I'm not dissing their constitutional right to, but it escapes me that any artist could actually think I would spend my hard earned money to be degraded auditorily. After all, I wouldn't allow my friends to talk "like that" around me, I certainly wouldn't pay someone to do it. It's actually kind of sad because I think this individual has some real talent and had the potential to make a positive impact on society. But instead, he choked. That's right, he's just another "shady" looking to make the money the easy way. And that just doesn't impress me. In my opinion, this guy has nothing on Will Smith, even though he imagines he does.
