Your Favorite Band Sucks

Whether or not humor belongs in music, Frank Zappa doesn't. It is an objective fact that he didn't even want to be making this trash, so why are you listening to it? Oh, you're in on the joke. Cool, cool. That must be fun to say out loud to yourself while listening to Zappa albums since no other living person has ever wanted to participate in that activity with you. Who needs friends when you have some asshole with a mustache, a ton of recording gear and absolutely no respect for you as a listener, right? Zappa's autobiography should have been titled Being An Asshole To Make Music To Be An Asshole To.

We know what you're thinking. How could this possibly be the last episode in the podcast's series on Eminem? There's still so much left to talk about regarding the past 20 years of his career, right? Yeeeaaaahhhh, no, not really. You haven't seen or heard anyone outside of a message board bring up Eminem for the past two decades for several reasons and today we're going to talk about all of those. We're also going to talk about why the band Imagine Dragons is this guy's fault but you'll need to tune in to hear all of that and more, plus a bonus recap of his most embarrassing beefs!

By now you already know what the deal is. Here's the third installment in our podcast's series on the most over-rated rapper in history, Eminem. After taking you through the early days when he accused other rappers of faking freestyles while doing it himself, then accused everyone else of "just imitating" when he was the one biting everyone else, it's time to look at the climate of controversy this fool tried to generate around himself and why he even thought that was a good idea. Specifically, what can the career of a loser named Marilyn Manson teach us about the career of Eminem? Is the album The Eminem Show the key to understanding everything that went wrong here? Is it even possible to measure the damage that was done to the history of rap music by the movie 8 Mile? At this point, are we even sure Eminem is a good rapper on a fundamental level? Until a bunch of YouTubers strip mine everything we say and repeat it on gigantic platforms then everyone starts to believe everyone always knew all this stuff about Eminem, the answers to those questions are only in one place: right here on Your Favorite Band Sucks!

But once that's taken care of, step right on up to learn more about the dark and mysterious music business machinations behind the scenes of Eminem's breakout years.
