Em’,
Hi, I want you to know that I am in the influence of one of your songs while I’m doing this, your “space bound” really captivates my senses….. I have my iPod with me and know what; I play your songs 24/7.you always were one of those great people who influenced my life…. Probably the person I am today is because of the fact that you are one of my REAL role models…..
I was in high school when I first heard your music….. those were the times when you made famous songs like “My name is”, Without me, Slim Shady and Stan. Take note that Stan was one of the most emotional songs you created….. Man I know that there would always be emotion in all your songs…. But during those times I can relate to that song….. Man the way you put words together was superb…. And how you rap it…. It introduced me to a new definition of music…. Those times I felt that I was being bullied by my classmates but when I listen to your song, I find peace….. I feel so serene….. I am never in favor of violence, as much as possible I try to avoid it…. Thank you for saving me from those troubles…. I know that when you say some foul words it’s not like you really meant it (except of course when Ja Rule dissed you and mentioned Hailey in a song) but you are just putting emotion in your songs… yeah, I consider them as songs….. you were right, a real fan would only laugh on the themes of your song especially when you try to discuss sensitive areas of our society so as your verbal assaults to your detractors… Stan was a very sad song….. I tried to sing it and I really love the part when you do your thing, it’s really something that even I can’t do…. I think nobody, I say nobody can do it like you do….. you murder every song that you make….. Im sorry Em’ if I can’t afford to buy your original cds….. I’m sorry if all the songs in my IPod were all illegally downloaded from sharing websites…. I AM A FAN….. Someday maybe I can finally buy your authentic stuff since that is what I intend to do given that I have the means to do it….
We have different life stories but I can’t help but relate myself to you….. You’ve been through a lot of struggles in life….. I can’t and would never be able to wear your shoes….. But you became my inspiration to overcome my personal struggles since all the struggles I had in my life were just a microcosm of what you experienced….. I know how it feels to live in a place where violence is normal….. How to develop anger towards others.. how anger becomes hatred…. But you are amazing….. I learned a lot from you too…. There was a time when I tried to write down everything I’ve been through….. reminisce some of those dark times…. And after that I read it and made a vow that I would never be in the darkness again….. writing things down would make us feel better…. Learning from it is the best….. I’m turning 23 this coming 13th and it was like I was 15 when I first heard your songs…. I love studying the lyrics of your song….. I try to google those people you mention in your songs….. it might sound like an obsession but I guess as a FAN I must be knowledgeable…. For me to understand you…. I know that im very far from doin it… but believe me when I say this…. YOU ARE THE GREATEST IN WHAT YOU DO…. What you were before….. what you are now…. Some might say that you lose some things you had before but for me you just kept getting better….. maybe not the BEST rapper before, but a BETTER person today….
There’s a scene in this video when you shoot yourself… Hell, don’t do this man’. It gives me the goose bumps when I see the hole in your throat when you pulled the trigger….. Just keep doing what you do best… Not Rapping, but inspiring others,,,, bring that grin or burst of laughter on their faces whenever they listen to your song….. I am a FAN, when I was 15, Will always be a FAN… It’s never over….. Keep aimin at us…
