Sorry if it's been asked before, but I'm new to this site and I'm still unfamiliar with how everything works. Anyone here know how people can understand what Eminem is saying in his music if they don't speak english?

Oh I see, I live in the States and there aren't very many European singers that are famous here.....But in European countries rap artists like Eminem and 50 Cent are huge.
Funny how that works. :confusion:

For your information, English is widely learned as a second language. Basically almost all people in Europe, Africa and Asia understand english. Except for the unfortunate people who didn't have the opportunity to go to school.

Sometimes American people don't understand metaphors so it doesn't have to do anything with the language!
This question have been asked before, in fact it was asked just few days ago!
I don't really get the point of asking!I mean who doesn't understand English he won't be able to answer your question, right?Damn ignorant American people!

Calm down

I understand about 70% in a song, I read them in english and then the translation in my language, when I have some doubts. We also do classes in English and learn a lot listening music.
