  A HOUSE FOR EMINEM

 

 

If one looks for a second at Eminem’s portrait, what does one see…? A handsome young man, troubled.

 

If one listens to his music, what does one hear…?

 

Trouble, contestation, revolt, pessimism.

 

And if one contemplates the pictures of his immense home in Ohio, what does one see…???????????

 

The very opposite of the above: the “American dream” in its most opulent, and highly questionable, forms.

 

How sad all of this is…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gone is the tense appearance of his face.

 

Gone is the rough, raw music.

 

Hello pink carpet, hello countless chimneys, hello abhorrent symmetries, hello giant swimming pool, hello multiple garages.

 

How could this be…???????????????

 

Perhaps this would explain quite well Eminem’s depression, no…?????????????

 

Indeed, how could one write and sing RAP music and live in such a horrid house…???????????????????????

 

Is, such an incongruence, possible…???????????????????

 

We invite you to imagine A TRUER HOUSE FOR EMINEM.

 

One that would express his music…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

A RAP HOUSE.

 

A House that didn’t sell its soul to High Capitalism and the “Entertainment Industry.”

 

A house where, we like to think, Eminem would cease to suffer of depression: a house where Eminem would truly feel at home.

 

Because he would inhabit his music, instead of its negation…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
