My take on it basically boiled down to this: Eminem has some talent - all you have to do is listen to his smoothly rapped hook on "Forgot About Dre" to realize that.

His hostility comes off as personal beefs directed at particular individuals rather than undifferentiated hatred - there's as much confession here as declamation...
