Eminem, Comedian

Ah, Eminem.  Pop-culture commentary at its best.  Much of his work is vulgar, childish, and based on shock factor - it makes people outraged and squeamish, because for some, it is a reflection of a side that they dare not reveal. There’s a lot of truth behind what the lyrics convey, and how the public reacts to his work is a commentary in itself.

If Eminem ever retired from rapping, I think he’d be a stellar comedian. As shown through his albums, he’s got a way with words, he’s got the sarcasm and the observant part down… and after coming across the following clips, one can see that Em’s got the timing/performance aspect as well.
But apparently he’s already been told that, as mentioned in his lyrics (“Marshall, you’re so funny man, you should be a comedian, **ddamn”).      ;]
