Lots of artists today have retarded images that make kids stupid. Fifty Cent, Marilyn Manson, there's one in every genre. Would I act like a clown and make kids act like morons for money? No.

Eminem rules because he admits he's a marketic gimmick and laughs all the way to the bank. His lyrics are also hilarious too.

And what's an MK47?

So does Marilyn Manson, but I still think he's a complete 'tard.

Sheila Eldridge? Dyana Williams? Yolanda Adams? Chante Moore? Melba Moore? Mikki Howard? Jean Carne?

There are even entire genres: Soul? Blues? Gospel? Spiritual? Jazz? R&B?

I use to not really believe all that stuff about the young blacks being influenced so much as to effect their lifestyles, but...

I was talking with my brother the other day and he mentioned that a younger guy came up to him while he was loading groceries into his car (A 2005 Mazda 6) and said that he really liked his car, my brother said "Yeah, I really like it, had to save for a while to buy it", to which the guy replied "It's nice.. I'd love to steal it" serious as anything. Crazy world we live in.

Also, MK47

Manson and Eminem are both not 100% sane. Manson might not even be 20% sane.

Manson and Eminem are completely sane, stable, and intelligent gentlemen. They just happen to have no problem with selling out and looking like complete morons to make some cash.

I guess I just have higher morals and pride in being myself than some of you, then. I wouldn't do what Eminem and Marilyn Manson do for that much money.

Same here. Sadly, I have a personal ethical code. And no matter how much money I make, I can never buy my own opinion about myself (although I can buy the opinion of others )

Ok they might be sane and they may even possess some intelligence but gentlemen?

gen·tle·man (noun): A well-mannered and considerate man with high standards of proper behavior

Considering this definition, "gentleman" does not necessarily conjure up images of Manson and Eminem. In my humble opinion of course.

Well, I didn't mean "gentlemen" literally, but they are actually sane, stable, and intelligent people. They just rarely show it.

Back in the old days, a Gentleman just had to be rich. It had nothing to do with manners.

Just watch Marilyn Manson's interview on Bowling For Columbine, that's one example of Marilyn Manson being sane and intelligent.

"Who's the bigger influence; the President of the United States, or Marilyn Manson?"

Edit: I can't believe you've gotten me defending that pratt.

Haha.

I regret not having seen Bowling for Columbine yet. But Fahrenheit 9/11 was riveting.

I'm not really a big fan of Michael Moore, he definitely knows how to make a convincing arguement though, I'll give him that. His interview with Marilyn Manson was fantastic though.

Moore is a very opinionated fellow, to say the least, but I admire his audacity to bring subjects to light that need investigation or attention, even when he slightly twists the story and events to reflect his viewpoint.
