Show Notes
How did this even work? Oh, the plan is obvious - recycle all the late '90s/early '00s angst of grunge and nu-metal with a twist of 311 and pretend you have no idea any of that stuff ever existed so people think you've come original - but, like, how did that work? Today we'll get into these and other questions, just in case this band is ever able to recover from their most recent grease fire of an album and somehow remain relevant.

Whether or not humor belongs in music, Frank Zappa doesn't. It is an objective fact that he didn't even want to be making this trash, so why are you listening to it? Oh, you're in on the joke. Cool, cool. That must be fun to say out loud to yourself while listening to Zappa albums since no other living person has ever wanted to participate in that activity with you. Who needs friends when you have some asshole with a mustache, a ton of recording gear and absolutely no respect for you as a listener, right?
We know what you're thinking. How could this possibly be the last episode in the podcast's series on Eminem? There's still so much left to talk about regarding the past 20 years of his career, right? Yeeeaaaahhhh, no, not really.
By now you already know what the deal is. Here's the third installment in our podcast's series on the most over-rated rapper in history, Eminem. After taking you through the early days when he accused other rappers of faking freestyles while doing it himself, then accused everyone else of "just imitating" when he was the one biting everyone else, it's time to look at the climate of controversy this fool tried to generate around himself and why he even thought that was a good idea. Specifically, what can the career of a loser named Marilyn Manson teach us about the career of Eminem? Is the album The Eminem Show the key to understanding everything that went wrong here? Is it even possible to measure the damage that was done to the history of rap music by the movie 8 Mile? At this point, are we even sure Eminem is a good rapper on a fundamental level?
Oh boy, it's time for Part 2 of What Would Happen If the T-Shirt Rack at Spencer's Gifts Started Rapping and a Bunch of Morons Decided It Was a Top 5 MC of All Time!
Yo, yo, yo, yo! What it is, homeys?! Y'all heard of this phenomenal rap star who rhymes all these insanely shocking things nobody else would dare to say and used to be a total killer on the freestyle battle rap scene? Yeah, bruh! The Emliest of Ems, Slim Shady!
