I'm sure I've mentioned this before on poptimists somewhere, but Eminem was one of the first rappers I respected during my indie snobbery phase. He was just so good at what he did! The dormant poptimist sector of my brain vetoed the remaining indie quadrant that usually filtered out anything vaguely hip hop related, and I realised that the music underneath the brilliant rapping was good too! And from thence the floodgates really opened, i.e. I found out who Dr Dre was and went "OMGZONEONEONE!!!"
