Em's recent attempts at being political were more of a joke than Green Day's bubble gum take on the Bush administration. You can't just drop a verse like, "Fuk bush, bring the troops home" and suddenly be a political rapper. Dont get me wrong, Em has dropped some good verses in his earlier days (check out Hellbound, Murder Murder, If I Get Locked Up Tonite), but he has always been an icon for "rebel" teens who started with Britney and graduated to Shady. Just look at his current rhyme book. His lyrics are stale, repetitive, and in certain instances outright pathetic. Even for a white rapper, he receives too much attention. Check out Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, and Eyedea. They don't resort to shock tactics about killing your estranged wife to establish themselves as solid rappers/songwriters. I was able to de-code juggalo's post, and I agree with what he/she had to say.
