The unrecognized hero : Eminem

I first heard Eminem way back during the college. Somebody had put on "Lose Yourself" and was trying keep up with the rapper. Somehow I let him pass as a wannabe singer mumbling random words making no sense whatsoever, never quite giving him the attention, jerking off whenever mention of the guy came in the dorm. Just like many things in life that dont matter to you and you don't matter to them.

Last week going through the latest hits on the itunes, I listened to the 30 second track for the Eminem ft. Rihanna "Love the way you lie". Loved the initial chorus and somehow felt that the music was overall quite inspiring. Generally I have that notion of downloading numbers after listening to the complete track with lyrics on youtube. After reading the lyrics along with the track was the so evident realization. Its about the lyrics and how his voice powers them.

The way he has put his personal emotions in lyrics is absolutely amazing, at times even witty. I moved onto "When I m gone" , "Stan", "Not afraid" and many more. Since then, I have been taken aback by the sublime intensity of the hip hop and rap genre he follows. The guy is a damn genius.

Thanks Eminem, You came out with the recovery album, else I might not have discovered something that I am so moved by today.
