So in this case- the analogy for Eminem would still make him a rookie- not a legend.

Yeah thats why you see them on the cover of Teen People right along with Eminem- oh no you don't oops guess there's not enough rrom for his crew on the cover- thanks for the help Shady!

This is simply preposterous- Will Smith has provided a variety of Hip Hop classics and customs for the Hip Hop culture- over the course of a decade. He did it without cursing and without shocking. While I dont generally listen to his music he has a very stable and necessary place in Hip Hop music and always has- he provides an alternative listening choice to more than just one group (whites) who wouldnt dare buy a Hip Hop album (but that slim shady guy is sooooooo cute but also to mothers and children who should be very much engaged in Hip Hop culture. If you want to compare I think Eminem is at a loss- Will can rhyme with profanity - ANYBODY CAN - could Eminem do without NOPE- and ive seen him try!
>Nuff said. Reload and try again.
I certainly hope you've got more than this- you're shooting blanks.
