There are very few things sadder than the moment when you realize that a loved one has started listening to the wrong kind of music.
However, realizing you’re out of touch and complaining about “the kids today” is probably slightly sadder.

First of all, people who own the beasty boys' cds, are not allowed to criticize those who listen to Eminem on youtube.
Comment 1.1: Your argument that the Beasty Boys are better than Eminem on the grounds that they were on Futurama is invalid, considering that Real Slim Shady appeared there, too (in some form).
Secondly, Eminem is, at times, thought-provoking, whereas the Beastie Boys, when not just rapping about how they're better than you and they destroy hotels and sleep around, will occasionally slip in a bit of social commentary that basically boils down to a mindlessly rebellious teens conviction that he could run the world better because the world is bad, but generally don't provide reasonable discussion of actual problems.
Thirdly, as I told you, Eminem is the best rapper to get your blood boiling and your adrenaline pumping when you're working out, or, for example, on a huge killing spree in Halo. Fourthly, Eminem is funny sometimes. Lastly, what about Kev? He listens to much more rap than me, and that includes, I believe, Eminem.
Cian, your rant on the Beastie Boys made me laugh. I don't play Halo… or work-out, so Eminem just makes me feel generally angry. The Beastie Boys make me even angrier because they are terrible. How can you rap off-key? Kevin does not listen to Eminem on purpose; he listens to whatever is on the radio when he turns the car on because he is too lazy to change the station.
Ted, responsible?! Hahaha…
like it or not, eminem is an excellent lyricist. yeah his lyrics might be about murdering his ex-wife or something, but they are spectacular in doing so
@Cian, am i somehow missing half the conversation? all i see is what appears to be you arguing with the air… where the hell did the beastie boys come into this comment thread from?
also, eminem sucks. so do the beastie boys. period. signed, someone with decent taste in music - ala, real rock.
Haha, oh God I forgot about this. I can't believe I claimed eminem is even remotely thought-provoking. I was such a 16 year old.
And @Achory, I am the brother in question; I was addressing some points Ted had made the last time I had seen him.
So I suppose you could say I "flew into a rage" and forgot what happened.
