If you were to ask anybody who knows me (friends, family, or longtime readers of this blog) what type of music I like, they would most likely say, "Not rap." I do not want to say that I hate rap, but I most definitely do not love it. The old-school rap is the kind that I can really dig. Aside from that, the only time I listen to rap is when I am with my sister {but can we really classify high school guys tossing together "the next big hit" as rap?}. She loves trap music; I love caked up remixes. She prefers Hip-Hop and Rap in general, and y'all know that I adore Country and Alternative tunes. {Le duh.} My point is that it is and will always be rare that you'll catch me listening to rap music when I am not being forced to by someone, which in hindsight sounds horrible, but please tell me that you get my gist. 

One of the only rap artists that I can sit down and listen to alone would be Eminem. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? His music is freaking amazing!  Some people do not like him because he is a "white boy" or because he "just sucks". That's okay because we are all entitled to our own opinion; my opinion just happens to be that his rap game is much better than a lot of the "rappers" now. {Plus, it could never hurt that he is from Detroit like me!} His most recent album The Marshall Matters LP2 (Deluxe) is the perfect evidence of Eminem's talent. The album houses sixteen songs and features artists Skylar Grey (!), Rihanna, Nate Reuss from Fun., X Ambassadors, Sia, Jamie N Commons, and Kendrick Lamar.
