Original comment found at Dan’s blog:
There’s some controversy brewing around Eminem right now. A freestyle he made over ten years ago has surfaced at the hands of the co-founders of The Source magazine, David Mays and Benzino Scott.
An excerpt from the song is:
Black girls and white girls just don’t mix
Because black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks
White girls are good, I like white girls
I like white girls all over the world
White girls are fine and they blow my mind
And that’s why I’m here now, telling you this rhyme
‘Cause black girls, I really don’t like.
So, of course the song is racist. Which is bad. And although it’s no excuse, Eminem said he made the song right after breaking up with his African American girlfriend. I mean, when I break up with a girlfriend, I pretty much don’t like girls in particular. I’m not a sexist, though. Far from.
So, Eminem said this and, rightfully so, released an apology explaining the song and said he didn’t mean any harm. What pisses me off is that the co-founders of The Source are using this as an example to illustrate how Hip Hop should only be performed, appreciated, and lived by “black people”. And I love hip hop, and at the shows I’ve gone to, I’ve realized and been moved by how much Hip Hop brings people together – from all walks of life – race, creed, economic status, sex – everyone is unified together listening to the flow of amazing poetry to the backdrop of melodies that will move you, and beats you will move to. It’s one of the main reasons I think what we’re doing can and will work.
For instance, back in March, The New York Times reports “The March issue (of the Source) kept up the attack, calling Eminem an “infiltrator” who has continued the sad legacy of the much-derided white rapper Vanilla Ice.” What the hell? An infiltrator? Because he’s white?
So, for those who don’t know. David Mays is a white dude who went to Harvard. A white dude who started out with more than Eminem or Vanilla Ice. And shit, I saw a video with him about safety when I was at school. He rapped on it. And he sucked. He was completely, wanna be Beastie Boys, awful. So, this is he. And David, the goatee makes you look really tough, too.
Last February, Mays, racial luminary that he is, said “Hip-hop made me respect black people”. Cause, you know, there’s no other reason in the world to respect black people aside from hip hop. And black people and hip hop are, of course, synonymous. He finished off his interview outraged that because of Eminem, “White kids are growing up claiming hip-hop as their own.”
I don’t want to harp on this too much, and I don’t mean to bore everyone out there who is smarter than David Mays, which is pretty much everyone, but, DAVID MAYS is a white kid, who claimed hip-hop as his own, way before Eminem was on the radar. I’m actually flabbergasted enough at this to use the word flabbergasted in order to describe how flabbergasted I am that this white dude, who owes his whole career to hip hop, is trying to say white people shouldn’t be a part of hip hop.
It’s this type of close minded mentality that’s getting my friends shot at in Iraq. The unintelligent, divisive behavior that feels the need to group people into an ‘us’ and a ‘them’.
Eminem talks about hip hop the way it should be framed – in terms of the music and the love for it – not in terms of racial terms. He shouts “I don’t make black music. I don’t make white music. I make fight music, for high school kids.” Which, comment all you want on the fight music part, but it’s pretty inclusive. You know. That whole ‘one love’ thing.
Jam to whatever music you want to. Understand its history, and even use the music to gain a better understanding of the world. Maybe people will stop hating on each other. There’s a lot that can be learned about life and issues from music. Don’t listen to ignorant people like David Mays.
Once again, flabbergasted.

The Real Slim Shady
When I listened to the track, I immediatly loved the melody and the mad beats. But when I saw the video, I got hooked. ‘ The Real Slim Shady ‘ is my favorite song from the Marshall Mathers Lp. I enjoy listening to it so much. The wordplays and jokes of the song make me laugh from the beginning to the end. I guess ‘ The Real Slim Shady ‘ is the most controversial song from the Marshall Mathers LP. So much controversial that it cost 7500 $ to a Colorado radio station for playing an uncensored version of the song. In France, this would never have happened, because most of the French citizens don’t have a sufficient level in English to fully understand Eminem’s lyrics. Even underage kids can buy an uncensored version of Eminem’s album without experiencing any problem. That’s also why real Eminem fans ( I mean people who are able to get his lyrics and his sense of humor) are rare in France.
The song begins in a funny way :
‘ May I have your attention, please ? ‘
Eminem is well known for his ability to attract the public’s attention. His originality and talent are undeniable. ‘ The Real Slim Shady ‘ contrasts with ‘ Stan ‘ that is a tragic and serious subject matter. It has been created to make people laugh-if they got a sense of humor, of course !
‘ The Real Slim Shady ‘ is a retaliation against all the people who were driving Eminem mad for different reasons : people who are focused on his skin color, pop stars like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, Will Smith (one of the worst things that happened to rap in my opinion) who criticized him for using cusswords and demeaning words to women. Will Smith also dared stating on MTV that since Tupac and Biggie’s death gangsta rap was ‘ almost dead ‘ or something similar.
Eminem’s enemies get dissed in a funny way and look ridiculous. It is a proven fact that it is too bad to be on Eminem’s ennemy list.
Although ‘ The Real Slim Shady ‘ has been written to make people laugh, it also focuses on subjects that should be debated like some inhibitions. Why should we act in a hypocritical way with our kids and hide subjects like intercourse as if they didn’t exist ? Having already expressed on the subject, I am deeply convinced that our education forces us to act in a hypocritical way. So many subject matters that belong to reality shouldn’t be so hidden and so taboo.
Kids who are curious by nature will discover them sooner or later anyway.
I guess some people will also picture Eminem as a violent murderer and misogynist (Lynn Cheney is a typical example of such kind of stupidity), should have a look at this line :
‘ And Dr. Dre said… nothing you idiots!
Dr.Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!) ‘
Only brainless people could take this statement seriously. If you belong to this category, there is a tremendous need for you to chill out.
Mrs Cheney, this is giving you food for thought : if Eminem is to take at first degree, then you probably understood that he killed his producer. Oh, that’s too bad for you, Dr Dre is still alive! You will probably never get Slim Shady, he far too subtle for you and he enjoys mocking you and the feminist activists alltogether :
‘ ‘ Feminist women love Eminem {*vocal turntable:
chigga chigga chigga*} “Slim Shady, I’m sick of him
Look at him, walkin’ around grabbin’ his you-know-what
Flippin’ the you-know-who,” “Yeah, but he’s so cute though!” ‘
‘ Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can’t
But it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose
“My bum is on ya lips, my bum is on ya lips” ‘
The Tom Green Show parody makes the song hilarious. Have you ever watched ‘ The Tom Green Show ? ‘. I have and I spent the whole evening laughing. Tom Green likes putting people in embarassing situations, like offering them a ‘ chest sandwitch ‘ for instance’
But there’s an important part of the song that we shouldn’t miss in any case. Eminem points out that he has the courage of his opinions. No need to be fake or sugarcoated at all. He says what he has to say and that also explains why kids love him. Kids are fed up, tired of being lied to.
They’re in search of truth and authenticity. You may strongly disagree with Slim Shady, but at least admit his honesty when he speaks out :
“I’m like a head trip to listen to, cause I’m only givin’ you
Things you joke about wit ya friends inside your livin’ room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it
In front of y’all and I don’t gotta be false or sugarcoated at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
And whether you like to admit it {*ERR*} I just shittin’
Betta than ninety percent of you rappers out can
Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like valiums…”
Eminem also brings us back to our own ‘ evil side ‘. Whether we like to admit it or not, ‘ there’s a Slim Shady in all of us ‘. So let’s all stand up !
Lyrics The Real Slim Shady
May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
We’re gonna have a problem here..
Y’all act like you never seen a white person before
Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst in the door
And started whoopin’ her ass worse than before
They first were divorce, throwin’ her over furniture (Ahh!)
It’s the return of the… “Ah, wait, no way, you’re kidding,
He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?”
And Dr. Dre said… nothing you idiots!
Dr. Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!)
Feminist women love Eminem {*vocal turntable:
chigga chigga chigga*} “Slim Shady, I’m sick of him
Look at him, walkin’ around grabbin’ his you-know-what
Flippin’ the you-know-who,” “Yeah, but he’s so cute though!”
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse, than what’s goin’ on in your parents’ bedrooms
Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can’t
But it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose
“My bum is on ya lips, my bum is on ya lips”
And if I’m lucky, you might just give it a little kiss
And that’s the message that we deliver to little kids
And expect them not to know what a woman’s clitoris is
Of course they gonna know what intercourse is
By the time they hit fourth grade
They got the Discovery Channel don’t they?
“We ain’t nothin’ but mammals..” Well, some of us cannibals
Who cut other people open like cantaloupes {*SLURP*}
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
Then there’s no reason that a man and another man can’t elope
{*EWWW!*} But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Women wave ya pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes
Chorus(2x):
I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up,
Please stand up, please stand up?
Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;
Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can’t even stomach me, let alone stand me
“But Slim, what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?
So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears? Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
And hear ’em argue over who she gave head to first
You little bitch, put me with this bastard on MTV
“Yeah, he’s cute, but I think he’s married to Kim, hee-hee!”
I should download her audio on MP3
And show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD {*AHHH!*}
I’m sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me
So I have been sent here to destroy you {*bzzzt*}
And there’s a million of us just like me
Who cuss like me; who JUST DON’T GIVE A FUCK like me
Who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me
And just might be the next best thing but not quite me!
Chorus
I’m like a head trip to listen to, cause I’m only givin’ you
Things you joke about wit ya friends inside your livin’ room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it
In front of y’all and I don’t gotta be false or sugarcoated at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
And whether you like to admit it {*ERR*} I just shittin’
Betta than ninety percent of you rappers out can
Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like valiums
It’s funny; cause at the rate I’m goin’ when I’m thirty
I’ll be the only person in the nursin’ home flirting
Pinchin’ nurses asses when I’m jackin’ off with Jergens
And I’m jerkin’ but this whole bag of Viagra isn’t workin’
And every single person is a Slim Shady lurkin’
He could be workin’ at Burger King, spittin’ on your onion rings
{*HACH*} Or in the parkin’ lot, circlin’
Screamin’, “I DON’T GIVE A FUCK!”
Wit his windows down and his system up
So, will the real Shady please stand up?
And put one of those fingers on each hand up?
And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control
And one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?
Chorus (2x)
Ha ha
Guess there’s a Slim Shady in all of us
Fuck it, let’s all stand up

How many persons claim to be ‘ Eminem’s biggest fan ‘ ? I’d like to demonstrate why this concept of ‘ the biggest fan ‘ sounds scary and worthless.
Remember those words of Stan :
‘ Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan’ ‘
“Biggest fan ” among all the fans from the whole wide world? Come on, that doesn’t make sense at all. I have read so many posts from ‘Eminem’s biggest fans’ on so many different websites and forums.
Claiming to be ‘the biggest fan’ makes you appear in a scary light in front of Eminem. Maybe you don’t realize it, but you’re precisely the kind of fan Eminem doesn’t want to meet. A crazed fan who wouldn’t mind invading his privacy without any form of respect.
Let me tell you, dear fellow fans, what really matters: it is important to be a true fan, to prove it not only in your words but also in your actions. But you also need to realize that Marshall Mathers is a regular man with a private life.
Don’t get on his nerves, don’t scream if you happen to see him. He is a normal person who wants to be treated with respect like anybody of us.
Don’t be the next ‘Stan’. If Eminem has earned your respect as a talented rapper and entertainer, he also deserves your respect as a human being.
You have the right to ask me how I would behave in front of Eminem. Let me tell you this: of course, meeting him will be emotional for me, but I want him to feel comfortable in front of me. That’s why I intend to show him my respect and admiration without scaring him with a foolish behavior. He is a normal person, like anybody of us, who wants to be treated in a normal way.
People need to realize that even if the music is divine, the author is a regular man who faces the same joys and sorrows than all of us: the only difference is that Eminem does it publicly.

Birthday wishes for Christmas Day:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON MARCUS AND TO EMINEM’S DAUGHTER HAILIE !
…and many thanks to Gavin for allowing me to write my topics on his weblog!

Eminem is currently in the recording studio working on new material, but the rapper and his label, Interscope Records, had a scare last week when three of his unfinished songs turned up on the Internet auction site eBay.
A source told the New York Post, “He has a very close-knit group of people he works with–he knows everybody who goes in and out of that studio. About a week and a half ago, somebody copied three unfinished raps onto CDs and tried to sell them on eBay. EBay immediately took the auction down and has promised Interscope the tracks will never be auctioned on its site, but the problem is every time they shut the auction down it pops back up.”
According to the source, everyone in Eminem’s circle who has access to the studio including managers, advisers, and friends, is being interviewed. Interscope Records is also considering hiring a special security team to make sure that no additional music is leaked. Some of the precautions may include making everyone who enters the studio sign a log and a confidentiality agreement.
No release date has been set for Eminem’s untitled new album

RAP star Eminem is livid after secret recordings for his new album ended up for sale on the internet.
Three unfinished songs ‘ which he is still working on in a Los Angeles studio ‘ were offered on auction site eBay.
Eminem, 31, fears they were leaked by a close pal or business associate.
Bosses at eBay have cancelled bidding and record firm Interscope has launched a probe.
A source said: ‘Em knows everyone who goes in and out. All his entourage is under suspicion.’

Bully
[Intro]
Yo, check it out, it’s fucked up, and I don’t see either one of us budging
[Verse]
I’m withholding my anger
Though I’d like to be the strangler
Of this punkass little bitch’s puny neck
It’s my right to insist
That he acknowledge my existence
But he just displays complete lack of respect
That’s what he says to himself
As he uses magazines to trash me
As he sits with both feet up at his desk
Smokes a bag of his weed
And starts imagining things
And he just can’t see that he’s manically depressed
And in his jealousy and envy
It just whirls him in a frenzy
As he turns on MTV and sees my face
He don’t exist in this world
So he just twists and he twirls
Spirals and spins till he runs himself in a race
And it’s destroying him slowly
Cuz he does not even know me
Even though he sees me everywhere he goes
So he just tortures himself
He has no fortune and wealth
So he extorts someone else to get his dough
And now he’s acting like a bully
So he tries to push and pull me
But he knows that he can’t pull me so he’s mad
He has no choice but to scream
And raise his voice up at me
Cuz it annoys him to see that I ain’t scared
[Chorus]
You aint no motherfucking (bully)
And I aint bowing to no motherfucking (bully)
I won’t allow it, aint gon’ cower to no (bully)
I’ll be damned if I don’t stand up to a (bully)
Fight like a man and throw my hands up to a (bully…)
And I know it must be fucking with you emotionall(y…)
[Verse]
Now I’m not trying to make no more enemies
No more unfortunately
There’s so many motherfuckers that just are
They just keep pounding at me
Now that I’m down with 50
Suddenly now I got beef with this fucking Ja [laughter]
But his ass is such a puppet
Irv could stick his whole hand up it
And just make him say what he wants him to say
But shook-ass Irv’s on a string
And Irv’s so nervous that he
Says anything to this man to keep him at bay
So now Ja thinks that he’s so tough
And Murder Inc.’s the big bad wolf
And they go huff and puff and blow our label down
But our building’s made out of bricks
So you ain’t taking out shit
I know you just did a song with Bobby Brown
So now you try to pull a race car
And it backfires in your face hard
Cuz you know we don’t play that black and white shit
Plus this guy that you fucked
When you was ecstasied up
Was just a man who’s dressed up as a white bitch
[Chorus]
You must be taking to much (E…)
[Verse]
Now what bothers me the most
About hip-hop is we so close
To picking up where we left off with Big and Pac
We just lost Jam Master J
Big L got blasted away
Plus we lost Bugs, Slayed Son, and Freaky Ta
It’s like a never-ending cycle
That just seems to come full circle
Everyone’s gotta be so fucking hard
I’m not excluding myself
Cuz I been stupid as well
I been known to lose it when someone says something smart
But as we grow as men
We learn to let shit go, but then again
There’s only so much bullshit we can really stand
We all got reps to uphold
When someone steps on our toes
It’s no exception, it goes for every man
But if Irv really gave a fuck
About Ja like he claims he does
He’d wake him up and make his boy get off them drugs
But he just keeps feeding him pills
So if that E doesn’t kill him
Someone from G-Unit will and I ain’t buzzed
Dawg, I’m talking to you straight
If the situation escalates
Any worse, we’re gonna lose another soldier to this game
And if I get killed for this rap
I got a million in cash
That says I will get you back in Hailie’s name
[Chorus]
Irvine, get your boy off that (E…)
[Spoken]
Get at me, dawg
Holla
The song ‘ Bully ‘ will certainly get Benzino really mad. Eminem describes his impotence clearly. He also reveals Ray Scott’s hidden thoughts and intentions.
‘ Bully ‘ is a real pleasure to listen to. The attacks go along with a funny rythm. It makes Benzino look more and more ridiculous. The so-called rapper has already been defeated by the best battle MC in his ‘ Nail in the Coffin ‘, but this track is digging his grave, it is the hammer that knocks deep into him.
Benzino knows that he cannot harm Marshall verbally and he is jealous of his worldwide success. Sure, he has no fortune and wealth. He calculated in advance his effect to release Eminem’s former tape in order to destroy Eminem’s reputation, but his retaliation comes back to him like a boomerang.
His publicity stunt appears to be a complete defeat : a very recent justice decision won’t allow him to release Eminem’s former tape for the Source’s February issue. Ray Scott’s jealousy against Eminem is so big that he even invented a story (I don’t know how much he paid a 34 years old man from Detroit to say he had a sex affair with Eminem) to show ‘ Eminem ‘s true colors ‘.
I couldn’t resist to the pleasure of dissing such a fake Pacino again :
How far are you ready to go,
Benzino, can’t you see, you’re the dummie, yo
Walk on the dead
Or give Dave Mays some head
You won’t harm Shady
You battle like a lady,
Anybody knows you’re a sissy
Who would believe you’re a bully
When your words sound so silly ?

“I Love You More”
[Intro]
You still love me?
Take this. [2 guns cock]
You ready? 1.. 2.. 3! [2 shots]
[Chorus]
The more you, put me through,
The more it makes me wanna come back to you,
You say you hate me, I just love you more,
You don’t want me, I just want you more,
I buy you flowers, you throw ’em at me,
I know it’s sad but it’s makin me happy,
The more that you slap me, the more that it turns me on,
Cuz you love me, and I love you more.
[Verse 1]
It’s sick, but who could ever predict,
We’d be doin’ the same shit,
We say we do it for our baby but we don’t,
We do it for us, it’s lust,
Cuz neither one of us trusts each other,
So we fuck ’til we bust,
Then we cuss each other, out,
We know what it’s about,
Shout ’til I throw you out the house,
You throw me out the house,
I throw you on the couch,
Punch you in the mouth,
Fist fight ’til we turn this mother OUT,
And apologize after,
Laughter, pain, it’s insane,
We’re back in the same chapter again,
And it’s sad but it’s true,
When I’m layin’ here with you,
There ain’t nothin’ anyone could ever say ever do.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Cuz I hate you, do you hate me?
Good cuz you’re so fuckin’ beautiful when you’re angry,
It makes me wanna just take you,
And just throw you on the bed,
And fuck you like I don’t even know you,
You fuck other people, and I fuck other people,
You a slut but I’m equal, I’m a mutt,
We’re both evil in our ways,
But neither one of us would ever admit it,
Cuz one of us would have one up on the other,
So forget it,
We can make accusations, people spread rumors,
But they ain’t got proof,
‘Til they do it’s just the two of us,
It’s you and me, cuz any chick can say that she’s screwin’ me,
But you gotta believe me to a degree,
Cuz if you didn’t I wouldn’t be hittin’ it,
Yeah I would cuz the sex is too damn good,
If I ran who would I run to,
That would be this soft and warm,
So it’s off and on, usually more off than on,
But at least we know that we share this common bond,
You’re the only one I can fuck without a condom on,
I hope, the only reason that I cope,
Is cuz of that fact,
And plus I can bust in that,
And that’s why…
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I could never understand it,
That’s why I don’t try,
From junior high until we both die,
It’s silly ho why must we try,
Is it really so rough,
That we must always call each other’s billy goat’s gruff,
Try to pull each other’s legs,
Until the other begs,
We’re liein’ to ourselves,
That’s the beauty of it yeah,
Cuz we truly love each other,
That’s why we always fight,
And all we do is shove each other,
Every other fuckin’ night,
And it’s clear it ain’t gonna change,
It’s pent up rage,
We both have,
We both feel like we’ve been upstaged by someone else,
We’ve both been,
Someone else’s someone else,
Problem is neither one wants help,
It’s an addiction and it can’t be fixed,
Our family’s mixed up,
There’s a baby sister in the mix,
And it hurts cuz the pieces to the puzzle don’t fit,
And anybody who thinks they know us doesn’t know shit,
And they’re probably just tired of hearin’ it all the time,
On every song, every lyric, and every rhyme,
All the hoopla, all of the whoopdy whoop,
What you put me through, fuckin’ whoopdy doo,
But I won’t be made a fool of,
If this is true love,
You wouldn’t do what,
You did last time,
You wouldn’t screw up,
This time,
Cuz this time girl,
I’m tellin you what,
You do it again I’m fuckin you up,
No matter what…
[Bridge]
What you say, what you do,
I’ma hunt you down ’til I find you,
No matter where you run, I’ll be right there,
Right behind you, in your nightmares,
All the flowers, and the candy,
All the times that you threw it back at me,
You say you hate me, you gon’ hate me more,
When you find out, can’t escape me whore.
[Chorus]
Among all the Eminem songs that really moved me, you can count his recent song “I love you more”. This song is very emotional, because you can see Marshall Mathers’ sensitive side exposed. His voice is very warm and full of rage at the same time. He exposes true feelings and his on and off relationship to Kim appears in a new light. Whatever negative critics may say, this is a wonderful love song. Eminem cannot live without passion. People who are used to his music know it very well. Kim is Eminem’s first love and both have been sweethearts since they were teenagers. Marshall exposes his struggles with Kim very passionately:

I buy you flowers, you throw ’em at me,
I know it’s sad but it’s makin me happy,
The more that you slap me, the more that it turns me on,
Cuz you love me, and I love you more.

In ‘The Way I Am’ video, you can see Eminem bringing a rose to Kim and Kim slapping him. Love can sometimes be violent. It goes along with jealousy and pain. When you’re madly in love with a person, you are ready to do anything to conquer his or her heart, but when your beloved one doesn’t treat you right you feel like you could kill him or her. The song is divided between warm feelings and rage. Eminem has been humilated so many times by his ex wife who used to cheat on him. The incident with John Guerra is probably the worst wound that deeply hurts Marshall. But he cannot fight against his feelings for Kim that are always present and the public doesn’t understand, that’s why he adds :

And anybody who thinks they know us doesn’t know shit

I’ve seen many female Eminem fans who have insulted Kim on different forums, but they should remember that this behavior is disrespectful towards Eminem himself. Kim has been married to him and she is the mother of his child. Even if they don’t like her, they should take Marshall’s feelings into account. They don’t know Kim Mathers personally, so it sounds ridiculous to insult a woman you don’t even know in real life.
The third verse appears to be scarier than the preceding ones :

No matter what…
[Bridge]
What you say, what you do,
I’ma hunt you down ’til I find you,
No matter where you run, I’ll be right there,
Right behind you, in your nightmares,
All the flowers, and the candy,
All the times that you threw it back at me,
You say you hate me, you gon’ hate me more,
When you find out, can’t escape me whore.

But it shouldn’t be interpreted as a menace. Many people still don’t get that ‘Bonnie and Clyde 97’ and ‘Kim’ are love songs.
Marshall calls her a whore, he is conscious of the fact Kim hasn’t be true to him, but he seems to hunt her in a desparate quest of love. This song is a sweet and spicy love ballad that is really worth listening to. It is one of the tracks from Eminem’s new underground EP ‘Straight Out The Lab’.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. ‘ Eminem’s ex-wife, Kimberly Mathers (search), has pleaded guilty to a drug charge and a driving offense as part of an agreement to resolve two drug cases, the prosecutor’s office said.

Mathers, who’s been the subject of some of the rapper’s songs, appeared Thursday before Circuit Court Judge Edward A. Servitto and entered the pleas to a charge of possessing 25 grams or less of cocaine and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle. The charges came from a June traffic stop in St. Clair Shores.
A third charge of driving with a suspended license will be dropped and a charge of maintaining a drug house, from a Warren hotel party in September where police confiscated marijuana and Ecstasy, will be dismissed, said David Portuesi, chief of the drug crimes unit for the Macomb County prosecutor’s office.
“Probation is an outcome that’s recommended here within the state guidelines,” Portuesi told The Macomb Daily for Friday’s editions.
While the St. Clair Shores case was pending, the 28-year-old Mathers failed to appear in court. On Nov. 1, she broke or removed an electronic tether designed to monitor her whereabouts. Mathers turned herself in later that month.
Portuesi said the judge has removed the tether and house arrest as conditions of Mathers’ bond.
Defense attorney Michael Sinutko asked for Mathers to get consideration under a legal provision where offenders convicted of their first drug crime can abide by probation or other terms and get their convictions sealed or expunged. Servitto likely will rule on the request at Mathers’ Jan. 21 sentencing.

Eminem
Some days I just wanna up and call it quits
I feel like I’m surrounded by a wall of bricks
Every time I go to get up I just fall in piss
My life’s like one great big ball of shit
If I could just, put it all into all I spit
Instead of always tryin to swallow it
Instead of starin at this wall and shit
While I sit writer’s block, sick of all this shit
Can’t call it, shit
All I know is I’m about to hit the wall
if I have to see another one of mom’s alcholic fits
This is it, last straw, that’s all, that’s it
I ain’t dealin with another fuckin politic
I’m like a skillet bubblin until it filters up
I’m about to kill it, I can feel it buildin up
Blow this buildin up, I’ve been sealed enough
My cup, runneth over, I done filled it up
The pen explodes and busts, ink spills my guts
You think, all I do is stand here and feel my nuts?
Well I’ma show you what, you gon’ feel my rush
You don’t feel it, then it must be too real to touch
Peal the dutch, I’m about to tear shit up
Goosebumps yea, I’ma make your hair sit up
Yea sit up, I’ma tell you who I be
I’ma make you hate me, cause you ain’t me
You wait, it ain’t too late to finally see
what you closed-minded fucks were too blind to see
Whoever finds me is gonna get a finder’s fee
out this world, ain’t no one out there mind as me
You need piece of mind? Here’s a piece of mine
All I need’s a line
But sometimes I don’t always find the words to rhyme
to express how I’m really feelin at that time
Yea sometimes sometimes sometimes
It’s just sometimes, it’s always me
How dark can these hallways be?
The clock strikes midnight, one-two, then half past three
This half-assed rhyme with this half-assed piece of paper
{*rip*} I’m desperate at my desk
If I can just get the rest of the shit off my chest again
Stuck in this slum, can’t think of nothin
Fuck I’m stumped, but wait, here comes somethin
{*crumples paper*} Nope, it’s not good enough, scribble it out
New pad, crinkle it up, and throw the shit out
I’m fizzlin now, thought I figured it out
Ball’s in my court, but I’m scared to dribble it out
I’m afraid, but why am I afraid?
Why am I a slave to this trade?
Signed out of spit to the grave
Real enough to rill you up
Want me to flip it I can rip it any style you want
I’m a switch hitter bitch, Jimmy Smits ain’t a quitter
I’ma sit until I get enough in me to finally hit a
fuckin boilin point, put some oil in your joints
Flip the coin bitch, come get destroyed
An MC’s worst dream, I make ’em tense
They hate me, see me and shake like a chainlink fence
By the looks of ’em, you would swear their jaws was comin
By the screams of ’em, you would swear I’m sawin someone
By the way they’re runnin, you would swear the law was comin
It’s now or never and tonight is all or nothin
Momma Jimmy keeps leavin on us, he said he’d be back
He pinky promised, I don’t think he’s honest
I’ll be back baby, I just gotta beat this clock
Fuck this clock, I’ma make ’em eat this watch
Don’t believe me watch, I’ma win this race
And I’ma come back and rub my shit in your face, bitch
I found my nitch, you gon’ hear my voice
‘Til you sick of it, you ain’t gonna have a choice
If I gotta scream ’til I have half a lung
If I had half a chance I’d grab it – Rabbit, run
There is even much more stress and tension in ‘ Rabbit Run ‘ from the 8 Mile soundtrack than in ‘ The Way I Am ‘ from the Marshall Mathers LP.
But the deep meaning of this tension is not the same : ‘ The Way I Am ‘ shows the rage of an exceeded man, but ‘ Rabbit Run ‘ is much more a constant struggle to survive and to achieve some important goals. The obstacles Rabbit has to face are numerous, they are referred to as a wall of bricks. Wherever Rabbit goes, he finds an obstacle on his road. Rabbit has to face his every day trouble with his alcoholic mom.
He appears to be a real perfectionist (what Eminem actually is in real life). He is never satisfied with his lyrical content.
You can feel the same poetic words aimed at his pen that you found in the ‘ Infinite song ‘.
‘ The pen explodes and busts, ink spills my guts ‘ ‘ compared to
‘ Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction’ ‘ from the Infinite song sound similar. Why ? Simply because Jimmy brings you back to that period around 1995 when Eminem had to prove his skills. If it is true that ‘ you gotta be mad to rap ‘, it is also true that you need a high level of skills to be credible. A good MC needs to be offensive. To be taken seriously, he cannot rap on flowers and bees.
The subject matter has to be aggressive, shocking, destructive as well. An Mc is a soldier and his words the weapons aimed at his enemies.
You got to battle to gain some credibility.
Dissing your enemy is not only a goal, it is also the part that helps you to spit your words. When somebody who hates you said something bad about you, the words to prove him wrong come easy. You can feel the words popping in your head like a cascade and you’re ready to shoot your enemy in no time. Among all the amateur freestyles I have written, the most offensive were the most appreciated by my friends.
So Rabbit goes on, he is determined to make ‘ your hair sit up ‘, he will make you ‘ hate him cuz you ain’t him ‘. He will battle against the world. But before he lets his rage out publicly, he battles with his pen and paper, sitting on his desk and waiting for the best inspiration, ready to destroy his words when he feels they aren’t good enough ; he’s battling against the time. His clock is a symbol of the time that is flying away from him. Between his job, his problems in his privacy and his passion of emceing. He doesn’t want to be average, he knows that he has to be excellent.
Rabbit spends his time running between two different realities.
There is an important lesson to learn from those lyrics : always dare grabbing your chance, as little as it may be. Dare trying, it is worth it .
‘ If I had half a chance I’d grab it – Rabbit, run ‘
