Eminem’s Message: Society Is Hypocritical

Neil Strauss of the New York Times put together a great piece on Eminem where he admits, “I would like to rescind any apology I ever offered for liking it.” Strauss boiled down Eminem’s lyrical mission stating, “Eminem’s message is essentially the same: Society is hypocritical, and most parents and teachers have failed their children, so it is up to individuals to live in accordance with their own free will.”
