I don't care what anyone says really. In my opinion eminem is still a tool. I read comments about how great eminem is all the time but why is everybody giving that guy more credit than he deserves? He just uses his music to tell everyone how sad his life is and how much sadder he seems to get every year. Pretty soon his kid is gonna have to hide the razor blades.
Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, he had sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2007), recorded more than 150 parody and original songs, and has performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and single ("White & Nerdy") were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career.
Haha, Eminem sucked since he made fun of MJ's accident when his hair caught on fire...its digusting, so what you so sensitive about? If he can go that far immorally far, al yankovic can also make some fun.
Look, where's Al in the top 40 chart? Has he ever been in the top 40 chart? NO. Eminem has not only been in the top 40 chart multiple times, but his song "Stan" is the 13th best song of the decade. All Wierd Al is is a Minor Celebrity. Eminem is a worldwide celebrity. I'm not saying Al is bad, he's awesome, but guys, Al will never reach the level Eminem already has. Oh yeah, and I haven't mentioned that Eminem is also 3rd best Pop artist? It's like saying Portsmouth is better than Man United.
Howdy Matt. Firstly, Weird Al is a parody artist not someone who is going to be in the top 40 charts. That being said, even though he is a parody artist, he has won awards for it. Next up, Weird Al is indeed known world wide. Lastly, this video is more about Eminem the hypocrite than who is in or has been in the top 40 charts more (which wasn't touched upon at all in your comment).
Yep, I agree, totally. I only posted it because I saw all of those comments saying that Weird Al is better. I don't think he is in my opinion, obviously, LOL. I know the video wasn't about the Top 40 or anything, I was just responding to the comments below using evidence to support my opinion.
As for Weird Al, I personally think he can be very clever and funny with his parodies, but sometimes he can be very lazy with them. Such as Couch Potatoe, I find this parody to be quite lazy compared to some of his other parodies. Though I am not a fan of the rap music, Em can be clever with is words, but isn't always. Lately, one parody artist who I think is starting to top Weird Al is one I found on YouTube, James@War.
I'm glad we understand each other. This happens very rarely, LOL. I hate people who don't think before posting a comment, they might as well not type anything if they don't have any evidence to support it. And I highly agree with the latest comment you posted. They're both good, and they can both be lazy. On the other hand, all singers have flaws.
/agree. Personally I think had Em agreed to Al's request, we not only may have had a better parody from Al, but Em could have had a cameo in it. Had it had gone this way, it would have boosted him up as he would be standing behind his own words of freedom of speech and getting more exposure to another group of followers, the Al mob. But alas, he chose a different path. Perhaps regrets the decision now, who knows. What's done is done.
@2824matt Hmm Weird al has 3 top 40s in US look it up, and a platinum single for fuck sakes, and a number 1 SINGLE in austrailia, so Al is consider international celebrity. Al been so long with us now artist wish they were him has the success that weird al has, he has 12 albums out 13th on the way. Even Snoop Dogg consider Al his uncle, hes a rap legend too. Most people would kill to have the longevity as Weird Al.
@2824matt Al has been in the top 40 charts multiple times -- "Eat it", "Smells Like Nirvana," and "White and Nerdy" were all in the Top 40. He's had over 16 songs place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and his 2006 single for "White & Nerdy was a Top 10 hit in the US. His career has spanned over 35 years, he's sold more than 12 million albums; earning three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States alone.
Eminem is to me the greatest artist of all time, and no I ain't a kid. The reason for this is because he talks about matters others won't, and he expresses his troubles which bother alot of people throughout there lives. Em became what he is today from nothing, he's what you call a musical genius and AI, he's just trying to make a name for himself and were is AI now? Nowere. Weres Em? The biggest rapper of all time. I rest my case.
There are always gonna be tons of little kiddies on you tube who absolutely love little Eminem. So of course there are going to be loads of thumbs down. What do you expect from kids? I don't expect too much. Oh he can swear, isn't he so cool, giggle giggle, he's my hero. You guys should see the amount of stupid posts from kids that I have gotten, and they all think they are so cool because they are using swear words. Le-sigh, kids, you're not cool. You're not even clever by swearing either.
LMAO! The gender of Rap. I like Eminem and Wierd Al but I agree that Em is a hypocrit by making fun of everyone that he chooses and getting mad when someone makes fun of him or his music. He should be honored that Weird Al parodied his music because Al is hilarious and does all of his parodies in jest. Lighten up.
Pretty much. Flipping back and forth in and out when it worked. When it didn't I just kept it silent or repeated Weird Al reading a paper or something.
All my comments below are actually replies to other peoples comments. I have no idea why they have all shown up one after the other. Youtube must have been on the fritz when I was replying to people that day.
If you go through all the comments I'm sure you'll find the initial comments to which my replies are meant for.
Lastly, yes comments are pending. If you just want to insult and swear your head off due to being an Eminem fan then your comment is obviously not going to be approved.
Problem I have is in the beginning, Marshall was all for freedom of expression. He himself parodied celebs within his own videos... which is all ok for him to do but not someone to do to him?
That's just hypocritical.
What he should have done is worked with Al on the video. He could have then known what Al had in mind for a video and even starred in it himself to show his fans that he can have a dig at himself.
Instead, all he has done is shown how much of a hypocrit he really is.
Eminem is a great example of the typical liberal perspective; "Do as I say and not as I do". combined with his clinging to our freedom of speech to justify why he can put his music out. Now I'm a fan of some of his work, as he is a very talented individual (as Dr. Dre's proteje should be) but I cannot condone his use of hate+shock value to sell himself. If this video is justice than it's just a drop in the bucket of what he deserves- and I'll leave that decision up to someone else.
It's like Psychosis wasn't in this year, so it's all about Multiple Personalities, now.
I'm all for People's awareness being raised, that's great, it's just, I saw He won an award, for best white rapper, and He went ape, "White rapper?! This is so F**KING racist! This award shouldn't even exist!".
Dude im not gonna say that weird al is better or the other way arround im just sayin that eminem is one of the greatest rappers ever because he usually talks about real stuff that happened to him and not the other shit other rappers talk about, but that is also why a lot of controversy appeared so OF COURSE Em's worried that a video of couch potato could damage his career ...its kinda different than the other cases but i still think letting weird al do his video wouldnt do any harm to any1
it was a tie their both awsome

The debate isn't about what he rapped about.
Nor what he stood for.
Or claimed to.
The point is he claimed to stand for these things, freedom of speech being one of them and then revealled himself to be a hypocrit.
He was afraid that Couch Potato could damage his career.
The only damage done to his career over this parody is done by Marshall and his decisions.
As I said before, if Em. allowed the making of a video and worked with Al on it, that would have solidified him to all.
