So, I was flirting with so many ideas for today's "E" post. E is such an Easy letter! But I decided on Eminem because I've been significant to observe these thoughts for some time now - and hopefully my position will be different than everybody else's!
Eminem is a genius. Music and literary industry. End of discussion.
And I'm not the just one who thinks this!
heck outThe Eminem Guide to Becoming a Composition and Marketing Machine to see how he can serve you with your writing! Can't get that.
Aside from being a music phenomenon, he is too well versed in the literary realm.Take apart any of his songs andyou'll see what I mean. Hiswords are delicately phrasedto compose lyrical rhymes. They raise an emotional responsewithin listeners allowing them to find such strong push from him. He's powerful, relatable, amazing.
This isn't to say that he doesn't curse excessively or reference dark situations. Yet, his spirit and message behind it are what makes it successful. He has such a warm and definite personality that it carries through beautifully. He is capable to serve people read these sorrows through three minute songs.
One thing that gives listeners comfort and reason is the stories his lyrics create. Eminem tells stories of loss, loss and growth. His brutal honesty is what may frighten potential listeners away, but the coarse world that his speech and correlating emotions display is what makes him so strong.
Rapping about having the most expensive car on the closure or being decorated in diamonds has become cliched in the industry. Eminem hasn't bragged about these things, even though he could. He raps aboutlife. And that's how it should be. That's what I love.
As a writer, you can see much from him. By using his practices of honesty, clarity, and specific wording, your pieces will go often tighter and much more powerful. The biggest lesson to be taken from Eminem is to work every word consider in a little measure of time.
Another quick fact of the dayabout Eminem: His list is much the only rapper's namethat makesany sense. If you sound "Eminem" out, it's "Mn M." But this isn't referencingthe candy. Eminem's real key is Marshall Mathers, m [and] m. It's hisinitials spelled in a singular way. How creative is that?I would have never guessed...
And a special surprise:
I am NOT at all a poet. I never have been, and I doubt I always will be. I like stories. But it's National Poetry Month and what not, so I suppose I shall be a little game and deal a poem with you.
For my creative writing course a few months ago, we had to publish a few poems. The prompting of one of them was to make a character, real or imaginary, and publish a poem from their perspective. I chose Eminem, because I am so very tender of him.
I included lyrics from 3 of his songs, "Beautiful," "Superman," and "No Love," and interweaved them with my own language of how he could potentially feel. I believe Eminem strives to be a real person with an honest attitude rather than a "know-it-all."
Disclaimer: This may or may not be how Eminem feels. This is my Attempt at poetry. I know it's not great, I'm not claiming it is.
Here it goes:
