艾米纳姆,美国歌手。其风格类型为:Hardcore Rap(硬核说唱)。长久以来说唱被喻为黑人的音乐,说唱的各门各派皆由黑人说唱手把持。这位敢于独闯龙滩的年轻白人唱手很快被说唱迷灌以“Great White Hope”(直译“伟大的白色希望”)的雅号。他富有争议的说唱生涯仿佛从出世就已经注定同时他的叛逆不仅长期以来深受美国青少年喜爱,也让他在舆论中始终遭到抨击。
阿姆作的歌词韵律感很强,也能够在保持音乐节拍不变的情况下在一首歌中改变好几次自己的说唱节奏和风格。
阿姆的歌词涉及范围很广,例如艾滋病在朋友之间的传播等。他同样也在歌中流露出反战、反对小布什的看法。曾被雷尔教派的领袖雷尔封为荣誉“神父”,但他却是皈依的基督教徒。他反对说唱乐手之间的互相仇杀、反对虐待儿童。尽管认为自己并不是个在政治方面激进好斗的艺人,他也确实在一些方面嘲讽过美国的政治现象。
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts I can’t tell you what it really is
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie
END... ...
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it’s a still night in my wind pipe
I can’t breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it’s like I’m in flight
High off the law, drunk from my hate,
It’s like I’m huffing paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I’m about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking hates me and I love it.
Wait! Where you going? I’m leaving you
No you ain’t. Come back we’re running right back.
Here we go again
It’s so insane cus when its going good its going great.
I’m superman with the wind at his back
Shes Louis Lane but when its bad its awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
Whos that dude? I don’t even know his name
I laid hands on him, I’ll never
