    1. I haven’t liked an Eminem record since the 8 Mile Soundtrack but I’m always happy to see him win, basically because it sends all the racists and Elitest running around in a tangent and hearing them whine is a never ending source of entertainment.

    2. My only comment is on the Casual shit, I’n so sick of these soft as baby shit halfway diss records
