    Whoda thunk it that Eminem is now the artistic equal of Katherine Hepburn, Robert DeNiro, and Walt Disney in the eyes of the Academy Awards.

    well Howard Stern said it the other day quite well: you know that something is really wrong with the world when a) the best rapper is a white guy b) the best golfer is a black guy and c) Germany wants peace.

    I am not a fan of rap, but I do like the song that won him the Oscar. OUTLAW, you must see the movie. It's pretty good. I haven't seen the whole movie yet but the parts I've seen, I like. My son bought the DVD.

    Lose Yourself

    Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
    Would you capture it or just let it slip?

    His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
    There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
    He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
    To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
    What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
    He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
    He’s chokin, how everybody’s jokin now
    The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bloah!
    Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
    Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
    He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy
    Is he? No
    He won’t have it , he knows his whole back city’s ropes
    It don’t matter, he’s dope
    He knows that, but he’s broke
    He’s so stacked that he knows
    When he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s
    Back to the lab again yo
    This whole rap shit
    He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him

    Chorus X2

    You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
    You own it, you better never let it go
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

    The soul’s escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping
    This world is mine for the taking
    Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
    A normal life is borin, but superstardom’s close to post mortar
    It only grows harder, only grows hotter
    He blows its all over, these hoes is all on him
    Coast to coast shows, he’s know as the globetrotter
    Lonely roads, God only knows
    He’s grown farther from home, he’s no father
    He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
    But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
    These ho's don’t want him no mo, he’s cold product
    They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
    He nose dove and sold nada
    So the soap opera is told and unfolds
    I suppose it’s old potna, but the beat goes on
    Da da dum da dum da da

    Chorus X2

    No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
    Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
    I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
    I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
    But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
    Best believe somebody’s payin the pied piper
    All the pain inside amplified by the fact
    That I can’t get by with my 9 to 5
    And I can’t provide the right type of life for my family
    Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don’t buy diapers
    And it’s no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
    And these times are so hard and it’s getting even harder
    Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
    Teeter totter, caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
    Baby mama drama’s screamin on and
    Too much for me to wanna
    Stay in one spot, another day of monotomy
    Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
    I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
    Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure’s not
    Mom, I love you, but this trailer has got to go
    I cannot grow old in Salem’s lot
    So here I go is my shot.
    Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

    Chorus X2

    You can do anything you set your mind to, man

    EMINEM FOR PRESIDENT!!

    All his lyrics are brute honesty. Most will never come close to this type of honesty. Let alone trying to formulate just how to express it...without physical violence. He only uses a pen and all hell breaks loose!

    THAT is what I Idolize.

    Plus, he is incredibly hysterical. His humor is intoxicating.

    sKally, i am whoever you say i am; if i wasn't, then WHY would i say I Am?

    Eminem has talent? Now he wins the Oscar? Yuck. I think the world has ended.

    I was shocked, and I think Barbra Streisand was too.

    Bono should have won. His song was wonderful.
