coming back with a vengeance

i'll say it again:  when it comes to music, my taste is as varied as the genres offered by musicdom itself.  i love josh groban as much as i love bruce springsteen.  or nickelback and yanni.  the gregorian chants and james blunt.  so you shouldn't be surprised when i say i love eminem too. 

yup, eminem. the rough, full-of-hatred, foul-mouthed white rapper.  in fact in the rap genre, he's the only one i listen to.  loved his previous works like lose yourself, cleanin out the closet and stan.  maybe i can understand better whatever he's saying compared to the heavily accented black rappers.  or, maybe it's because he's the only one who raps about important, sensible subjects of life.  a stark contrast to the egomaniacal ones who talk of nothing else but cars, sex and women. ok, eminem's music is sometimes filthy and most of the time full of expletives. but i've no issue about it coz i think that's what make his lyrics more effective.  raw, unrefined, thug-like and so much in your face.  but it sure paints a real picture of life.

he was off the music scene for a while.  good thing he came back after a few years of hiatus.  and came back with a vengeance he did!  with 10 grammy nominations to his name for the feb awards, he sure has recaptured much of his writing talent.  i haven't heard most of his recent releases yet but the first one that hit my ears already got my thumbs up.  it's a collaboration with rihanna.  and although this song is something i'll never relate to (coz it talks of intense, masochistic kind of love), i still think it's one heck of a song.

just a warning:  the song contains strong language.  oh well, i guess you must be rolling your eyes.  it's eminem. duh!

note:  the vid is the only real vid i can find in you tube - all the others under the same title are crap.  and even if rihanna's not actually on stage, it's eminem i'm looking for anyway.  enjoy!
