Clearly the Atlantic commenters need to band together to produce some an aesthetic treatise that will quickly revolutionize the field! Art is art because it generates no response and has no truth. How neatly they’ve overthrown millennia of philosophical ruminations! Holy fuck, that’s clever.

And, to the dude who’s so concerned with anti-white racism: Eminem sells quite a bit more than Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, and other black rappers, which would tend to suggest that he’s in a position to have more societal impact, perhaps? But good on ya for your valiant defense of the ever-vulnerable filthy rich white man.

*More importantly,* I am too flaky to find Amanda at TBD. Is she in the Arts Blog section? Big fat web mysteries abound.

I’m way ahead of you on this one. I’ve stopped eating squid entirely, just to avoid angering my soon-to-be-tentacled-masters.

“This will actually be part of how he gets tenure, for some reason.”

That is just unspeakably brilliant.

Great article, and thanks for this edition of sexist beatdown. I haven’t read the comments at the Atlantic but sadly I’m not that surprised to hear that there are many Eminem supporters. I once commented to a friend (while she was listening to Eminem as we were driving) that Eminem’s lyrics could sometimes be misogynist. She didn’t seem to understand, so I elaborated, and she responded that I don’t know if that’s “how he feels inside.” I just gave up at that point.

Eminem was cool, a long time ago, like when I was in high school.
Now he is just boring.
Dude… get a life, move on and stop yaping about Kim.
I always thought that even if a hair falls down from her head, this dude was going to be the main suspect and end in jail forever. I mean, he is creepy, abusive and somewhat ingenious for turning “Dea r diary, I am a hige prick and I hate my wife” into a multimilion success.

But still… he is the physical embodiment of the word “pathetic”.

Also, abuse is abuse, it is NOT romantic, it is not cool and it is time to stop glamorizing it, pop producers.
In one word – meh.

Okay, I went back (urgh) to read Garland Grey’s comments over there. They totally gave me back my will to live.

Oh god in heaven, I wish I’d heeded the advice in comment #2. The comments are pants-crappingly horrible.

But the article is great! As always!
