Of course he's still a rapper. Just a terrible one in my opinion.
But yeah, I always say this to people especially like, if I would call Eminem or certain rap art to some adults as a younger kid and they'd scoff at the suggestion of it being art.
Or say it's just a bunch of profanity.
Whilst we know that's not the case, even if it was... it could still be art. Anything that is INTENDED to be art, IS art. Something being art doesn't mean it's good art, That's a different discussion.
But I could throw shit at a canvas and if I'm intended that to be art, it's my art.
There's this weird implication that all art should be pleasant or anything too unpleasant or crude or realistic can't be considered art. What nonsense.
That's a load of shit..
Artistic expression can be anything..If people oppress it and say..
"LUL, that's nawt aht!@EfEG..."
Basically what people do IS throw random paint on a canvas like Bizarre does..
Maybe what we see as poor and horrible might be genius to other people..
It's a matter of opinion, people have ears that hear things differently..
And what's this trash about Em's music not being art...
It's the closest thing to art human kind will know.
It's poetry from the slums, it's the real life stories of a white trash kid, it's the way an angry dude in his early twenties saw life.
It's basically what's going through all of our minds around this time.
Fuck life, I'm sick of everything.
A LOT of people can relate to that.
That is TRUE art, being able to reach out to people and touch them.
That's what the cunt licking Mona Lisa did.
