Em and his damn double negatives

[EndoveProduct]

He's done it in several songs besides those. A lot of it is done so it will flow well in the song.

makes sense

Song writing doesn't need to be grammatically correct. Artistic writing is different from academic writing.

I don't not know nothing bout wat you guys talkin bout!

I think it's pretty important to be grammatically correct. Not to the extent when you're rapping words like "whom" but double negatives are just sloppy.

Sloppy, like the people who lived in Rome, you know, Romans.

"Insaneness ain't even a word, you stupid fuck." Eminem is fully aware of most of his incorrect English.

The only time he appears to have unintentionally made an error was in Not Afraid when he said "undoubtably" and "subliminally," as EminemInsider pointed out.

My boss regularly uses 'irregardless' and fuck it pisses me off to no end... Motherfucking double negs. You yanks are especially prone to this type of language use..

Double negatives and other grammatical "errors" are ubiquitous in music.

They're ubiquitous in speech but it doesn't mean they should be.

Artistic writing is different from academic writing (or speech). The aesthetic is what is important, not what is technically correct. You may as well bash James Joyce for breaking all the rules.

Kanye doesn't use double negatives.

[kkaniff]

Neither do the Romans.

[EminemInsider]

Lol you guys are funny, who the fuck cares and we all know Em lacks education.

This looks like a, "eminem may be stoopidz but i luv his music anywayz" type argument. People who think like this really shouldn't be fans in the first place.

And your post is painfully grammatically incorrect, by the way.

You're acting like using double negatives is a world-ending issue.
And it's AN...argument.
