Carson Says Eminem Is The Music Story Of The Year

TRL and Last Call host Carson Daly chatted with Dan Aquilante of the New York Post and told him that Eminem was the biggest story in music this year. Why? “I have a neighbor in my apartment building, she’s 67, who told me, ‘I just saw ‘8 Mile’ and I get it,'” Daly explained. “She told me she thought it was just going to be a lot of bad words and this white guy who raps. She said, ‘I understand it’s the story of struggle.’ Everybody who sees it, gets it. That’s why ‘8 Mile’ cleared $100 million so fast. That’s not just MTV watchers who saw it.”
