Y'all realize, right, that I'm just playin devils advocate here, tryin to foster a semi-intellectual discussion. :)

Thunder Rolls did get a lot of hype but I never heard One Single Peep about Mama's in the Graveyard, Papa's in the Pen.

Matt and Amergin I think you are both right.

Now - let me throw another fly in the ointment here. We can see people murdered in all manner of ways on TV or at the movies anytime of day. Why is it worse when it's a 4-minute soundbite? Eminem's up for Album of the Year, Gladiator's up for Picture of the Year. Y'all see Gladiator? I did. Good movie, lots of disgusting parts. Is the Motion Picture Academy glorifying violence by nominating this movie? Is NARAS doing the same by nominating Eminem?
