Dhruva fell in love with hip-hop after his first listen of Eminem's verbal venom on The Marshall Mathers LP. Fast forward fifteen years later and this journalist and aspiring novelist critiques and discusses the entire genre in his free time after spending the last fifteen years obsessively listening to it while breaking down the influence hip-hop has had on a whole generation of people and pop culture.

Original Content From what was initially a neighbourhood-based cultural practice, Hip-Hop has permeated societal culture in an unprecedented way. Hip-Hop extended it's boundaries before breaking them down entirely to accept any and everyone; gender, economic class and race extinguished as the genre's influence washed over society and in a way, unified a diverse group of people.

Reviews The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is the sober Eminem’s strongest project to date, and though it’ll inevitably be compared to his previous works, it’s a radically different direction for the Detroit emcee. Eminem has definitely aged and matured, but the question remains: has his maturity caused him succumb to the mainstream instead of shaping it to suit his needs?
