    …And Then There Was DMX

    As a child, I struggled to find a taste in music that quenched my thirst wholeheartedly.

    Eminem’s Amityville Horror: When One Verse Makes a Song

    I am an Eminem fan, but I wouldn’t call myself a “Stan.” When Eminem makes bad songs or even bad albums, I won’t lie to myself and say that everything Eminem touches turns to gold.
