Wow, Eminem is better in the original Klingon.

Surely "The Real Slim Kahless" would fit better.

I rejected that as too nerdy... yeah, I know, madness.

What is the etymology of the Klingon word for "trailer park"?

He doesn't seem nearly angry enough.

And yet you've outed yourself in the comments! Should've just gone for it, man.

"Originally starting from a joke..."

But it's since moved on from that, apparently.

He should go on tour with these guys.

Is Klingon really supposed to be spoken in a flat monotone? The performance sounds like it was no fun at all. And you know what they say about flat affects...

Hey I googled 'famous klingons'! I'm no Trekie! (... he types as he fires up ancient Dr Who DVD)

*looks at incomprehensible Klingon song titles*

*goes over to Google Translate, clicks on pulldown menu*

Damn.

I imagine "Mosh" or "Stan" would be rather interesting in Klingon. Anyone who reads Klingon, did he do 'em?

Klenginem does Eminem songs in Klingon Trekker's German. FTFY.

I like Em best when he was doing a lot of radio freestyles, and, shortly before that, in his old battle-rhyme days (once you get past the 8 Mile stuff, there are tons of Eminem battle clips on Youtube)--he's a quick thinker, a great punchline rapper, and he's got a million ways to dis another emcee. What he doesn't have is a lot of good ideas for songs. And, like a lot of emcees, he stopped being hungry, and he fell off pretty soon after. Not that anybody asked what I think of Eminem.

Is this something you'd have to be.... forget it. If I came up with a phrase for what you'd have to be, I'd be halfway to being it.

You just made my weekend. Thanks! I now believe that Klingon makes everything better!

Excuse me. I have to go kill myself now.

I thought this was supposed to be Eminem parodies... I didn't find any Em songs available.

Cheated again.
