Eminem

[Rens]

Is Eminem's name based on the candy M&M's? Just something I've wondered about...

[Santiago Roza (Kq)]

1) "Eminem" comes from "Marshall Mathers" = M&M (not the candy). But to avoid legal trouble with the candy company, he spelled it "Eminem" in his records.

2)

That's crazy saying he hasn't got any talent!!! Do you think he would have the worldwide stardom he has if he didn't have talent?

Man, that so-called point is completely stupid: you can't judge someone's talent from its commercial success. Tons of quality writers/painters/musicians/etc were ignored by critics and the public their whole lives (and got recognition later). Tons of crappy artists sold zillions. That proves money doesn't have a thing to do with talent. Remember, "Billions of flies like shit, but that doesn't make it any better".

3) Yeah, I know I brought back an old topic. Sorry.

How long are you morons gonna talk about this overhyped talentless peace of garbage. I could write more meaningful songs than this idiot. A five year old has more talent than Eminem. Leave it to the morons of thsi fourm to worship such a poor rapper like Eminem
