I had this friend/roomate that ruined some of my favorite artists for me.Anytime a new release from (insert any number of acts), that release would play in the shower, living room, car, and casually in his bedroom. Eminem was one of those artists. By default, I’ve ignored any releases he’s had since 2003. Last night’s stellar performance w/Weezy embodied everything that’s right with hip-hop right now. I’m extra surprised that they had an actual backing band, and the hook on “No Love” kept on giving me flashbacks of ‘Night at the Roxbury’.
Too bad SNL squandered any opportunity at poking fun at ‘Tron’ or ‘True Grit’, you know, because Jeff Bridges was hosting.
