MEDIA: Not Afraid
I saw this man live in concert a couple weeks ago, when he was closing out the big Boston Calling music festival in Massachusetts. I've always considered Eminem to be one of the best, most spirited rappers of all-time. Generally speaking, I believe that the more conviction a rap artist delivers the better.
