your attempt at writing a battle rhyme in your notebook - motivated, no doubt, by your viewing of the inspirational biography/fiction film '8 mile' - was unsuccessful. you're not a rapper. indeed, the people in the film '8 mile' are professional actors impersonating real life figures. the lead character, the plucky white guy who has sex standing up with the vacant-looking blonde girl in the factory, is actually a character actor named marshall mathers. his gutsy performance is convincing in all but one respect: we all know white men don't do rap music. marshall, you had us at 'yo'. but if we want fantasy, we'll rent 'spider-man'.

You're an idiot. Marshall Bruce Mathers III (his full name) IS Eminem. His second album is titled, "The Marshall Mathers LP". Get YOUR shit strait. And for posterity sake, Eminem is one of the best rappers alive.
