    Eminem always sounds better in the original Klingon.

    That just leaves one speechless in any language.

    At least if he forgets the words, who's gonna know?

    Rap is dumb-dumb music; no self-respecting Klingon would listen to it. Impostor! And Eminem sounds better with a roll of dutch tape around his mouth.

    Most hip hop music is just misunderstood, glen. There are plenty of artists out there who correctly represent the hip hop culture, for example: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Anticon, The Pharcyde, etc. I will warn you that if you just don't like the tone, beats, sound of ethnic music you really wont like hip hop in general, however that would make you a typical bigot.
    Also, it's spelled duct tape.

    Great...now all I have in my head is Worf bobbing his head to this as he's flying a shuttle about!

    Amazing...!

    ...But what a waste of talent.... - With such capabilities, this guy could be an ultimate multilinguist if there ever was one instead of squandering his abilities on rapping in a fake language...

    Foreigner1 , how do you know he is wasting a linguistic gift? That seems presumptuous. For all you know he also speaks fluent Romulan, Vulcan and Qlargian.

    So what? He's translated "songs" into another language, people have been doing that for centuries. It's not a talent really, is it? It really doesn't matter that it's an invented language rather than an evolved one.

    Are you serious? So if I don't like classical music does that make me bigoted against white Europeans? What a stupid statement.

    Two things I really can't stand, Eminem & Star Trek.

    I don't think I could eat the amount I want to barf.
