Eminem Speaks On His Life

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now. You can change your image and all that–you can change your fucking clothes, your underwear, your hair color, all that shit–but it’s not going to mean you’re a brand-new person.

Within the last year, I started learning how to not be so angry about things, learning how to count my fucking blessings instead. By doing that, I’ve become a happier person, instead of all this self-loathing I was doing for a while.

Can a person change? Say you take a criminal from a horrible environment and put him in a nice neighborhood. If he changes from a criminal into a hard working, law abiding citizen, hasn’t he changed?

    although he changes neiborhood.. that mentality remains, even if its 0,00000000001% it remains. If you start crack then check into rehab… 50 years later that memory still remains so its really not that hard to convert back into that mindspace… Imagine something triggers that memory and he definately must go back to that mindstate or he’ll go crazy (in his opinion)…

    people can change. it depends on the individual. personally, i havent been fucking with Em since he made those racist statements and lied about it at first, saying he was only 15 when he actually was 22.(he never apologized for that. he only said why he made those statements.) i hope thats not the person he continues to be, and makes a change from that frame of thinking, should he keep it private or make it public.

    When he talks about people reinventing themselves, he’s talking about in the context of music i.e. Madonna. She has reinvented herself so many times that she forgot that she was the obnoxious Italian girl from Michigan. Now she’s the pretentious British pop artist.

    In terms of criminals being able to change? that’s on the integrity of the individual. You don’t have to be a criminial to try to be a better person. You can be a dickhead in real life without going to jail. People change on their own regard. Most criminals don’t. That’s why you have the “jail” mentality.

    Negative, cause the first sign of some grimey $hit bout to happen, it feel all too familiar. I dont smoke weed no more, but i still know how it smells, how to roll a dutch, how to hide it, how to weigh it, shiiiiiiit, it all is still as familiar as when I was a heavy blazer.

    I accidentally pressed Submit Comment LOL^^^^^But anyways everyday and in every way society is constently giving us new negetive ways to look, act and be. All the things that we use to think of and look at as being hip or cool is all put in different ways now.

    Many of us may say, “Whats the purpose of changing and way bother?” At the end of the day thats who we are and that what it is. Its hard for some of us to change who we are but its easy for us to follow one another.

    I think he changed his behavior but deep down inside he is still a criminal who works on not conducting criminal activity… Its like a drug addict they can stop smoking but everyday they have to work on not smoking.
