i like those few songs, i dislike the life he lives.
but i understand what you are saying. and i agree with you to an extent, but just because i like a few songs of eminem doesn't mean i praise the life he lives.
Do you know what a Straw Man argument is?

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position

more like- Person A has position X.
- Person B disregards certain key points of X and instead presents the superficially similar position Y. Thus, Y is a resulting distorted version of X and can be set up in several ways, including:
- Presenting a misrepresentation of the opponent's position and then refuting it, thus giving the appearance that the opponent's actual position has been refuted.[1]
- Quoting an opponent's words out of context — i.e. choosing quotations that misrepresent the opponent's actual intentions (see contextomy and quote mining).[2]
- Presenting someone who defends a position poorly as the defender, then refuting that person's arguments — thus giving the appearance that every upholder of that position (and thus the position itself) has been defeated.[1]
- Inventing a fictitious persona with actions or beliefs which are then criticized, implying that the person represents a group of whom the speaker is critical.
- Oversimplifying an opponent's argument, then attacking this oversimplified version.
- Person B attacks position Y, concluding that X is false/incorrect/flawed.
Person A: hip hop is all bad
Person B: industrialized hip hip is bad (a lot of hip hop is bad) but not all of it.
that's why i said i agree with you to an extent

That wasn't my argument though .....
But I think you're so attached to your habits, you just want to justify it however you can, so I'll let you figure stuff out on your own.
