  Lyrics: As you may or may not already know, rap music is very long. The song 'Rap god' he spoke 100 words in about 15 seconds! The lyrics have absolutely no meaning in this song. They're just on going words talking about at least 45 different things in each verse. In about all the songs in the album, he says at least one curse word. Rap music isn't a good influence in young minds such as mine lyric wise.

Good things about Eminem: Things I like about Eminem and rap music in general are that the beat is interesting and I find it cool/funny how people can talk really fast If you take out the lyrics in rap music then you're left with cool rhythms, beats, and tunes. Take the song 'Monster'. If you take out the lyrics, you can get cool sound effects and noises. Have you ever tried to a song that is 1539 words? I think not, but Eminem has! His song 'Rap God' has exactly 1539 words and is sung in about 6 minutes. Only one thing left to say... WOW.

Bad things about Eminem: Some things just don't appeal to me, and rap music is one of them. Although Eminem can sing/rap really fast its not as interesting as other music genres like pop or R&B. The one thing that makes me hate rap music is the lyrics. The lyrics have nothing to do with the song! Usually the lyrics will have to do with drugs or going for girls and very rarely will you find a song that is rap and has actual lyrics that mean something. You will only find these kinds of songs if the rapper is partnered with a pop artist (like Monster). Another thing that makes me dislike rap is the length of songs. I hate songs that are over 3 minutes. They get dull and make me want to change the song. When tried to listen to the album I had to stop about 3 times and changed to a pop song then continued listing to the rest.

Overall rap music still isn't my favorite type of music. The lyrics have no meaning, go on forever, and make references to drugs and such. The fact that Eminem can rap/sing 100 words in 15 seconds amazes me but I still have no interest in rap music. 
I would rate the album a 5/10.
