Yeah, I know this...what's your point?  If I had to
rely on an affiliation with those cats to "make it", I
would just have to wait.

You speak the truth.

Nope.  Unfortunately it wasn't.  It continues to stick
around, rather successfully...much like Baywatch.

Sure I can, and I do on a daily basis.  I've seen nor
heard anything that comes close to genius.  As far as
"breakthrough" - he's the first white rapper to do
successfully what many black rappers have done
successfully for years.  Is that what you mean?

It's not her being a fan that I was speaking of. 
You're obviously at least a minimal fan, and I
wouldn't question your credibility at all.  What I'm
questioning is the close association.  That's my
position and my prerogative.

Fortunately, despite his current success (and I use
that word in its most narrow sense) mr
M&M/Shady/Marshall will not be around for long.  In
two years he will only be found in a jail cell and the
bargain bin at Camelot.
