Oh please luckee... what rappers do to the English language is a crime in itself.  Don\'t turn this discussion into something personal.

Who got personal?

SOme rappers yes, but that is all part of the hiphop and rap culture.

But since we were talking about eminem, I ask the question again.

Lyrics and Rap equal the same thing in this genre.  I find no talent in someone who strings together slang for a living.  Once again I don\'t appreciate nor like the rap culture ;)

No they dont, if you knew anything about hiphop or rap, you would undserstand why.

Can you do it?

Thats your option and thats fine, but at least open your mind and respect the fact that it takes a GREAT deal of talent.

The same amount it takes to play drums..or a guitar or a flute for that fact.

Err, we are talking about Eminem, and last I checked he is NOT black, so why is the word Ebonics even in this thread? Ebonics only applys to Black Americans.

Sorry, but I will remain ignorant.  I haven\'t been brainwashed by MTV.  

How can you say rap "lyrics" don\'t consist of slang?  Really, I am interested to know if you actually think its grammatically correct.  It is this hip hop/rap culture that is butchering the English language, which in turn is leading to a decline in English literature.
