holla if you feel like you've been down the same road

It looks like Eminem is going to receive a Grammy for his latest album Recovery and while he isn't on any of my play lists, I understand what everyone loves about him. His invincible spirit, rebellious charm coupled with an ability to be vulnerable and transparent shake people up. I really think main stream folks wanna wake up, be raw and get down to brass tacks- this just isn't modeled in popular culture. Rap is so therapeutic and his not afraid video is full of larger symbolic meaning. I guess I just think it is important to process your relationship with your mom, suicidal tendencies and what it's like to grow up in a broke ass neighborhood (if you did) and doing this with creativity and bounce is a good thing.
