Re: Eminems success / labels future

Well, not to get into an off topic flame war, but the one time I saw him 
do a
song with Elton John, it seemed like he was just saying the words he had
written with no regard to the song's meter or structure.  Like rather than
craft a line with a specific number of sylabols and put them in time in
relation to the beat, he just said them as fast as he needed to before he 
had
to let Elton do his part.

Give me Chuck D any day of the week.

but that's just this man's opinion.
