For one, from what the rap I've heard, they only sing about killing this or shooting that (take one of Eminem's songs for example, talking about leaving his wife's body in a trunk [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] ). And second, no guitar

Let's see... While Marshall certainly sang about putting his wife in the trunk, he also has addressed some real issues - like Columbine and war. Here's a bit of lyric about the growing up and maturing he experienced in the last 2-3 years. You will be hard-pressed to find better lyrics anywhere in any art form:
I dont wanna quit
This s--t, it feels like this is it
For me to have this much i feel like this is it
This is not a game this fame the real life is as sick
Publicity my ass, consume my f-n d*
F* the guns, im done ill never look at gats
If i scrap, i scrap it, ima never woops some ass
I love my fans but no one ever puts a grasp on the fact
That I sacrificed everything I had
I never dreamt i'd get to the level that im at
This is wack, this is more then I ever coulda asked
Everywhere I go I had a sweater, hood or mask
What about math? how come I wasnt never good at that
Its like the boy in a bubble who never could adapt I'm trapped
If I could go back, I never woulda rapped
I sold my soul to the devil, i'll never get it back
I just wanna leave this game with level head intact
Imagine going from bein' no one and seein everything blow up
And all you did was grow up emceein'
Its f-n crazy, all I wanted was to give Hailey the life i never had
I've forced us to live alienated, so i'm sayin:
Goodbye
Goodbye Hollywood
Please dont cry for me
When im gone for good
So, goodbye
Goodbye Hollywood
Please dont cry for me
When I'm gone for good
