|
As it turns out in our latest survey, failing success in the music business, only about 1.5 percent of you will adapt and pursue another venue to achieve fame and fortune. About 3 percent say you will burn out on drugs and alcohol and about the same number will either become politicians, or do the more honorable thing and kill themselves (in which case we hope they're kidding).

| Music Review: Trashed In Detroit by Mutha |
|
Every once in a while we pluck a review from our submissions and put it up here on the front page. We don't get nearly enough reviews of rap and hip hop around here (you'd think we only listen to rock) so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to feature one. So let me introduce Isabelle Esling, a blogger from France (see correction below) who submitted a review of "Trashed in Detroit" by Mutha. Click "read more" below for the review.
Note: Correction: Isabelle Esling is from Metz, France, not Detroit, MI as previously stated. You can read her take on the recent riots by clicking here or visit TheEminemBlog.com to read about her passion for Eminem and Detroit hip-hop culture.
