DownwardSpiral- try free-style rapping in front of people, even just a friend. It's not that easy. In fact it's pretty hard to write a rap-type song, period. Now angsty mope-rock, there's some easy song writing.
Don't get me wrong, rap isn't exactly art, it's more a talent like juggling. Eminem has some interesting ideas behind the hype and the marketing. In fact he's said on numerous occasions, like this song, that there's nothing really genuine being presented, only glitz and jokes-

This is the season for noise pollution contamination
Examination of more cartoons than animation
My lamination of narration
Hits the snare and bass in a track for duck rapper interrogation

Your namesake ( i assume ), the song Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails, would be slow talking, In fact the whole album is a) screaming, b) speaking slowly, or c) a lil bit o' both. Instead of venting the rage he feels at the people in his life, Trent Reznor focuses on his own degradation, self-destruction, and desire for annihilation.
Quote:
Hurt
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

He also says outrageous and potentially harmful things
Quote:
Heresy
He dreamed up a God and called it christianity
Your God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I will see you there

All i'm trying to say, i believe, is don't bring the hate because you can't relate. Your opinions are your own to have, I just wanna offer some perspective. Personally, I like both of the above bands/artists. They have their own style and sound, and I respect their ability to reach people.
