@Chitownmez: I agree (in...Thanks for the comments!<br /><br />@Chitownmez: I agree (in part, see below)!<br /><br />@Dustin: I certainly understand your perspective on Eminem. There are really only a handful of Eminem songs I've heard that I'd defend as good writing. Perhaps "profound" was a bad word choice on my part. More than anything, I wanted to convey the element of the unreliable narrator, which is uncommon in songwriting. However, Eminem as a whole often falls into his genre's tendency of gangsta-one-up-manship and petty self-congratulation. On the other hand, I do contend that "juvenile" does not always apply to Eminem -- "offensive" and "inane," maybe; but not juvenile.<br /><br />Concerning Lady Gaga: I really waffled over a final song to pick on in that section. I don't mean to degrade Lady Gaga as a whole (I'm not familiar with all of her work, and the majority of her work is pretty thoughtful, in my understanding), but "Bad Romance" is perhaps a case of weak piece by a good writer (though even this, as in many literary topics, is debatable).<br /><br />"SOmething sensory and without explicit interpretation pushes the envelope much further."<br /><br />I agree, and I was sort of hoping my Fleet Foxes review conveyed that (though in much less concise and affective terms). However, writing is also about expression and communication, and vague is not always the best way to express oneself. In such instances, "narrative capacity" is the only differentiating element between good work (Edmund Spenser) and less-than-good work (insert bad pop musician).<br /><br />Concerning the labels: Fixed. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229981018680117757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492998316261375000.post-9042899203311815042010-02-23T15:11:38.314-08:002010-02-23T15:11:38.314-08:00Nice post, though I thoroughly disagree with your ...Nice post, though I thoroughly disagree with your assessment of Eminem. His lyrics are surface level and depict very juvenile narratives. After '8 Mile' a huge surge of mainstream fans appeared out of nowhere, thinking the movie revolutionary. In fact, it portrays blacks as simple and women as sluts all with a half-assed attempt at making up for years of violently homophobic lyrics when his character stands up for one older gay man. Overall, pretty weak storytelling. Accessibility doesn't equal relatability nor does it make a work evocative or stirring. You mentioned Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' which, while non-narrative, is far more poetic in its construction especially when it's presented with one of Gaga's thought-out performances. You should listen to 'Alejandro' and 'Monster.' The narrative capacity of a piece doesn't indicate great writing but the ability to recapitulate old standards and archetypes associated with the written world. SOmething sensory and without explicit interpretation pushes the envelope much further.<br /><br />Also, please locate the labels section when posting and make certain to put your name, Roosevelt University, and Writing Center in that section. Today, I helped Carrie amend the blogging guidelines document you created to reflect these necessities.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DustinRoosevelt University Writing Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096559520775241438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492998316261375000.post-19030020712500724592010-02-23T14:31:41.097-08:002010-02-23T14:31:41.097-08:00Thank you for posting about Eminem.

He's always been a favorite of mine and people rarely recongnize that he actually does some really great writing (albeit controversial).Chitownmezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380184959375241817noreply@blogger.com
