Eminem?

[IcyPeas]

Eminem has been nominated for ten (10) grammy awards. I, for one, don't get it.

I know these awards are not voted on by the people. they are voted on by the recording industry. Why Eminem?

1. $$$$

Recovery was the best-selling album of 2010 in the United States with 3.4 million copies, and the second best-selling worldwide with sales of 5.7 million copies

His album sales figures help NARAS members cling to the illusion that the recording industry isn't doomed.

6. +1

Yep...all of those executives were still able to go to their "happy place," thanks to Mr. Mathers.

4. I think he is quite talented, but he comes off like a jerk

I hope he finds some peace in his life.

5. Other: I got no use for the little punk. (n/t)

7. I like him a lot. I think his wordplay is amazing. There was a bit in the article in Rolling Stone

that described how he makes his rhymes, and as a professional writer and editor I found it fascinating.

M&Ms

9. One of the greatest hip-hop artists ever.

The guy is mega-talented on the mic. Impressive writing skills, great delivery, and a true visual artist. Has created one of the best on-stage characters in the genre.
