“What is the big deal about Eminem? Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I like the fact that Eminem is brash and angry and politically incorrect. At least he has an opinion. He's stirring things up. He's provoking a discussion. He's making people's blood boil. He's reflecting what's going on in society right now. That is what art is supposed to do.” PeopleArtReasonFactsBigsLanguageDealsOpinionBloodRight NowArt IsAngryDiscussionOffensiveProvokingBig DealReflectingStirringBrashStirring Things Up Author:Madonna Ciccone
