Eminem as a Role Model in life

[randomghost]

ofcourse he's a bad role model....am listetning to his music..just to enjoy it..not to look up for him...90% of his music is encouraging kids to smoke and pop ecstasy...and all type of drugs...kids out there are lost...waiting to look up for anyone and kids cant segregate if its good or bad to to smoke or drink they just do it coz their role models does it......

If you take everything he says literally and do it, than yes he's a bad influence.

He is a role model to all underground / unknown rappers out there
Cause Eminem himself was unknown but his talent/determination got him to be the best rapper to ever grace the face of earth.

well, i think if u take seriosly everything he says or raps about then he is a bad role model but u can take the way he fough for everything he wanted in his life, his dream became true and he still fighting, after all he has been through he still there, so u can take him too as an example of self-improvement

I'd say a good role model for older teens and kids who take his negative lyrics as a joke and his positive lyrics as something thats important. Yeah he's a very big role model with how popular and well known/liked as he is.

He taught me to tie a rope around my penis and jump from a tree

As he says himself:

"I'm not a role model, i don't want to babysit kids."

[Tash8]

he's a good influene, you don't look at what he says, it's what he's become

He came from living in a bad neighborhood with a mom who made him fake sickness, to becoming one of the greatest rappers in a mostly black oriented genre.

if that doesn't make you say, "hey well i can do it too", and say "well if he could do it with nothing given to him, i should be able to do it as well seeing as I have been given some better opportunities then he might have."

hahahahahah ,, ya but he says it's crazy how peopel mix hip hop with real life .. and when he say's

They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well can it load a gun up for you and cock it too?
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued

so his music are'nt to be taken literally.. so he is not a role model at all in his music ..

He's a good influence in my opinion. If people don't concentrate on his music, but look at his life and how he raises his kids it becomes obvious. Of course you can't take what he says seriously in his music, but it's the life he leads that should be noted.

[slimsoxshady]

he is a bad influence,
but the world is already fucked, he's only adding to it

...so no big deal imo

plus a blood stain is orange after you wash it three or four times in a tub..so yea real great role model

[Solace]

Yeah i think hes a good one

[justbb09]

sac your a bad influence to anyone new to this site

[Darkblade44431]

He's a GREAT role model, he taught me that with determination, i can actually kill my ex girlfriend and get away with it!

[Ice_Scarred]

Good in some aspects, horrible in others. If you take his sarcastic, radical lyrics seriously than you need to stop listening to him. Yes than he is a bad role model for that person. He is a great role model in giving Underground rappers hope, and showing that nothing is impossible. Its a give and take.
