<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>A friend of mine gave me Eminem's newest CD. I'm not a huge fan of him and I wouldn't really buy one of his albums, but I think he's one of those rappers with a lot of potential. This CD is not really any different, as I really only like two songs, White America and Without Me. He's a good lyricist, but I need a good backbeat to enjoy the song. None of this poetry-set-to-music crap. I like most of ICP's stuff because they all have a good backbeat to it (and ICP is funny anyway). Bionic Jive's stuff is awesome, and I like a lot of rap-rock groups, because rapping is a good "instrument", but you can't just rely on it alone to hold up the rest of the song.

Given that, is there any rap groups you could recommend?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Don't know, I never really listened to ICP, and on the Eminem album I didn't really like the song White America nearly as much as others, my favorite was definetly Superman followed by Without me and then Cleaning out my Closet and Say Goodbye to Hollywood</div>
