The other Steve's got a good point.  I remember (yes, believe it or not!)
the week before I got married in 2000, spending not enough time up in
Amsterdam, and up in the Blues Bros. coffeehouse (not officially sanctioned
by Ackroyd etc of course), when suddenly they started playing the "Real 
Slim
Shady" disk, and I had to admit that it wasn't just a barrage of wannabe
ghetto-speak with obscenities added for PR value, as I'd previously 
thought.
The guy's also got a sense of humor, and I remember thinking "Suge Knight
probably couldn't shut HIM up," but his timing is really good.

Now if he were just to use looping hm?
