...anyone calling me that.” Liana R. Tuller ’99 remembers one instance when she’d told a student of hers at Charlestown High School to turn off his Eminem. “He got all excited that I knew who the rapper was,” she says. “From then on, he thought I was really cool and even tried to ask me out on a date.” According to Daniel’s students, college-age teachers mix it up in a good...
Eminem sailed into Barcelona last week for the MTV Europe Music Awards on an updraft of hot reviews and the box office success of his movie debut. 8 Mile, a semi-autobiopic starring the rapper - whose talent is fast rendering his many controversies irrelevant - grossed $54.5 million in its first weekend in the U.S. What's more, 8 Mile and Eminem's performance has been generating serious Oscar buzz (yes, it really has), and the sound track from his movie went straight to the top of the Billboard 200.

The words are a gibberish homage to the opening line of the first rap song, Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 hit Rapper's Delight. America's familiarity with the original incomprehensible lyrics--"I said a hip hop, the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop"--have fueled Ketchup's transatlantic voyage, while a simple six-step dance move has given it club life...
