i went to the eminem show because i love eminem. when i say love, i'm mostly referring to the marshal mathers LP, but i disgress. so i was actaully excited to see not only a crazy rap show, but how marshal would do live. it was the most dissapointing and unbearable show i've ever been to. luckily, i missed lil john and most of 50 cent, but eminem was just downright dissapointing.
lets look past the fact that for whatever reason, em (and most of his fan base, apparently) thinks it's OK to play 20 songs, but only rap the first verse in each of those songs. Let's also look past the fact that 75% of eminem's set featured D12 or some other bullshit up and coming shady records artist that nobody cared about. that leaves me feeling like i was watching TRL for 2 hours in a giant club atmosphere, which was obvioulsy a horrendous experience.
this show did nothing but make me appreciate the underground genre of music that dominates my life. i will never attend another mainstream rap show in my life. i'm not sure what i expected out of the fucking anger management tour, but whatever it was didn't happen.
and no, my tickets weren't free. i purchased them last minute 75% off on ebay. and i still got ripped off.
