His ability is still impressive (especially with how fast he raps), but he doesn't have the same sort of rage in his lyrics.
No more "kill my wife" this or "my mom is a ******** nutjob" that or "I ******** HATE YOU GODDAMMIT."

How about a variation of Pinnacle Armor's experimental " dragon skin" that actually works, and uses much smaller scales to form to one's body?

Eminem is more about the gags these days than the domestic abuse. That said, I think writing a song about taking your daughter to watch her mother drown is a liiiiittle bit whack.

Dragon Skin is pretty heavy as far as modern armor goes, if I recall correctly.
EDIT:: A lot of his early s**t was like that. "Kill You" is about killing women, more or less.
But that's why he was so popular. You could relate to his anger on the minor notions, but then he just went so far beyond the normal sort of rage found in music that it was ridiculous and allowed him to create some pretty astounding songs, in terms of how he put his talent to use in lyricism. I mean, when you're THAT pissed off, you come up with some pretty creative s**t to express it.

It all depends on what the scales are made of.

Dragon Skin is for ******** tools. If you want to use fagtastic armor, I'm going full JUGGERNAUT.
But no, really, modern body armor is... well... look at it, basic chest/back vital protection. You're going to get the sides and neck if your government loves you.
As far as I can tell, does almost nothing for your arms, legs, etc etc. Hell, I don't even think a standard issue helmet is bulletproof.
I guess I'll just hold out for power armor.

Following the current trend of time estimates, scores will be out Thursday.
And who needs armor anyway? Throw on a red cape and rock it like Tetsuo.

What the other Fiend said.
Edit:
KB: Helmet is just for mental stuff. Handgun rounds go through them.
Dragonskin can stop fully automatic 9mm, and a few shots from full sized rounds.
Its hard to stop the force of the bullet and keep light weight.
But there is body armor that covers the neck, arms and legs. Its just really bulky.

Don't lie to yourself, Eminem got popular because he was marketable.
And by marketable I mean white. Like the Linkin Park of straight rap.

Well, if you must know, there's 4 more judgments left. Tenkai and Ecks just have to do those and I can get the scores out and the second round underway.

The helmets are, I think. And you do get S-LAT platings/inserts or whatever for your thighs, and possibly upper arms, and your back and chest are well protected. Elbow and knee pads as well. Not sure what else, but there is a fair amount of armor in modern body armor.

The guy talks about murdering women and raping his mom (in one verse) on that album. It went 9x platinum. I wouldn't call him marketable, not lyrically and not how he acts. Maybe because of the novelty of his violence and his skin color, but he's not marketable in the same way that, like.. NSYNC were. He mostly got album sells by being 1) outrageous and 2) outrageously good.
