Required Listening

The required listening that spencer had us listen to was a good list. I especially was attracted to the 70's music because of the african american artists such as rick james and parliment. One song that really stuck out was the song tutti frutti by little richard. I especially liked this song for the fact that it was a very enthusiastic peice. The things i look for in a song is the beat, the flow, the enthusiasm and most of all its creativity. I think that little richard portrays most of these very well.

Album Review

Marshall Mathers LP
8.5/10

This album made by eminem was a very creative album in my opinion. He expresses his fellings in how people are treating him and his image in the media. It may not be the greatest album due to the vigorous language and sexual and drung refrences but as far as being art this is a perfect example. Personally i like the way eminem chooses to use his words in a creative way and it really appeals to me because its like listening to a cartoon on the stereo. I give this album an 8.5. It could be a higher number if eminem tones down his violence a little but other than that i love the creativity in this peice of art.
