I found this entire post wildly interesting. I listen to a lot of hip hop and rap, although I've never seen a rap verse broken down this way before. I've never really had the understanding to articulate WHY I loved Eminem so much. But this has helped me see what makes him such a good rapper (and why Lil' Wayne is so lame haha).
I also think it's cool you can analyze these things even though you aren't a huge fan of rap in general.
Aww, thanks. I love the rap I listen to! I just don't listen to it as my primary genre, so I do tend to only get the surface stuff, mostly. I've kinda wanted to do this with an Eminem verse for a long time.
So Weezy? You get no love. I have, however, found it far easier to listen to your guest verses if I imagine you as the Drode.
Generally rap is not my genre (or at least the subject matter of a lot of it- learn to respect women a little bit more, boys), but plus one hundred life points for the Animorphs reference snuck in there at the end. ;)

Also that clip is amazing.
Heh, I really do. I can appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted sentence and the simplicity of a demand curve!

Lil Wayne is obnoxious, though. :P
