Reply #169: do you know what explication is?

I am not and have never been a fan of Eminem, being a queer feminist, BUT if you put any repetitive rhyme scheme (a/b/a/b/a/b/etcetczzzzzzzzzzz) masculine rhymed Dylan song

"the answer my FRIEND/is blowin in the WIND"

jiminy cricket, i've given him too much credit his scheme is a/a/a/a/

"to be on your OWN/ a complete UNKNOWN/ like a rolling STONE"

just like Sting, another overrated musical Christ figure...

if you take any Emimen lyric you will find he uses tons of feminine rhyme, and well as internal rhyme, and his rhyme schemes are much more complex... this kind of poetry is the most difficult to do, and I believe these kind of poets are born, not made. Face it God TOUCHED him, and I'm glad he's using his talent to a good end now, that he cares enough to put himself in the skillet for the lives of his fans.
