Warrant issued for Mathers after failing to return to treatment facility
http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/sw95800_20040407.htm
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — An arrest warrant was issued for rapper Eminem’s ex-wife on Wednesday, a day after she failed to return to a court-ordered drug treatment program, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections said.
Kimberley Mathers didn’t return to a Macomb County treatment facility on Tuesday, corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said. After being taken to a doctor’s appointment that day, she was supposed to attend a nearby Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meeting and then return to the facility, he said.
Macomb County Circuit Judge Edward Servitto signed an arrest warrant for her Wednesday afternoon, Marlan said.
Marlan said authorities contacted members of Mathers’ family, but they said they didn’t know where she was.
Tuesday marked at least the second time Mathers dropped out of a court-ordered drug treatment program. She served some jail time after leaving the program late last month.
Servitto on Feb. 12 ordered Mathers to serve 30 days in the county jail and then be transferred to an inpatient substance abuse treatment program for an additional 90 days.
The 28-year-old had been sentenced on Jan. 21 to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to charges of possessing 25 grams or less of cocaine and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle. The charges stemmed from a June traffic stop in St. Clair Shores.
Mathers and Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, have a daug

So many family members or Eminem insiders are trying to get money out of the talented rapper’s pockets. Some of them, like J. R Watkins, write books hoping that the scandals and private info contained in their books will help to sell their material better.
Some others are dropping lawsuits. It looks like everbody wants a part of the cake. Those people are pityful and Eminem lovers should be very cautious not to give them any penny nor any cent.
Todd Nelson has found out an easier way than his sister Debbie to make money on Eminem’s back. He also seems to be in a desparate quest of dollars.
He is displaying a lot of personal and private info about his nephew in magazines like the ‘ Star magazine ‘ and gets paid for it. But he doesn’t seem to get enough money from it. Or maybe his appetite for money has grown. So he is selling things that used to belong to Marshall, like his former drawing. He even sold the house in Timken where Eminem has spent some time with him on ebay because of ‘ his financial problems ‘ :

But Eminem’s former home didn’t sell, despite higher bids :

The man would sell his dignity as well if he could.
I would be ashamed in his place to expose my nephew’s sex life for money :
http://www.the-blue-pages.com/gossip/gossip00176.html
I think I couldn’t look at myself into the mirror if I had acted this way. It seems like Eminem’s uncle Todd has no dignity and no sense of loyalty. I guess that deep inside he m

In an article from Star Magazine, Eminem talks about the attraction of kids towards cursewords. He’s so right about it. Kids like it.
He remembers Nathan enjoying cursing when he was a little 3 years old boy:
“Of course you don’t want your kids walking around in public going [in a robotic voice], ‘Fuck.’ ‘Shit.’ ‘Cunt.’ ‘Ass.’ ‘Bitch.’ But remember how fun it was to cuss when you were in the first grade? Just to be like, ‘Fuck.’ ‘Shit.’ My little brother was 3 years old, running around the house saying, ‘Shit.’ ‘Shittty-shit.’ ‘Butterfly-firebutt.’ It’s like you can’t stop it.”
On chiprowe.com, I found this interesting comment:
‘ Language Hitlers say anyone who swears doesn’t have sufficient mastery of the language. Bullshit. Invoke Shakespeare when someone cuts you off in traffic and see how fast you get through town. ‘
You can read the full article here :
http://www.chiprowe.com/articles/swear.html
I totally agree with the author of this comment. People confuse everything: they confuse the mastery of a language and the use of cusswords, which is totally different. How many times have I been mocked by people for claiming that Eminem is a lyrical genius. Those people used to tell me:
‘If he uses so many cusswords in his songs, he cannot be a lyrical genius.’
Little did they know about the use and abuse of words’ power.
Eminem’s songs may be full of cusswords, but the way he handles them inside of a text makes them totally much with the text, rythm and melody.
‘The Way I Am’ lyrics are an example of Eminem’s ingenius use of cusswords inside of his lyrics. Those lyrics are particularly interesting, because Eminem also plays with the word curse in the third line:
‘I sit back with the pack of zig zags and this bag of this weed it gives me
the shit needed to be the most meanest MC
On this earth and sence birth I’ve been cursed with this curse to just curse
and just blirk it’s bazerk and bizare shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension despensin me
sentence is gettin the stress that’s been eatin me recently off of this
chest and I rest again peacefully
But at least have the decency in you to leave me alone when you freaks see
me out in the street when I’m eatin or feedin my daughter to not come and
speak to me
I don’t know you and no i don’t owe you a mutha’ fuckin thing I’m not
Mr.N’SYNC I’m not what your friends think I’m not Mr. Friendly I can be a
prick if you tempt me my tank is on empty
No patience is in me and if you offend me I’m lifting you ten feet
In the air I don’t care who was there and who saw me destroy you I’ll call
you a lawyer file you a law suite I’ll smile in the court room and buy you a
wardsrobe I’m tired of arguin’
I don’t mean to be mean but that’s all I can be it’s just me…’
The lyrics of ‘Remember Me’ are also fullfilled with cusswords. The following exerpt of ‘Remember Me’ is particularly interesting, because Eminem jokes about the use of cusswords from the critics’ point of view. It is so well made and hilarious at the same time:
‘When I go out, I’ma go out shootin
I don’t mean when I die, I mean when I go out to the club, stupid
I’m tryin to clear up my fuckin’ image,
so I promised the fuckin critics
I wouldn’t say “fuckin” for six minutes
(*click* Six minutes, Slim Shady, you’re on)
My baby’s mom, bitch made me an angry blonde
So I made me a song, killed her and put Hailie on
I may be wrong, I keep thinkin these crazy thoughts
in my cranium, but I’m stuck with a crazy mom
(“Is she really on as much dope as you say she’s on?”)
Came home, and somebody musta broke in the back window
and stole two loaded machine guns and both of my trenchcoats
Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
with M-16’s and ten clips each
And them shits reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint’s speech to fix these streets?
FUCK THAT! PBBT! Tou faggots can vanish to volcanic ash
and re-appear in hell with a can of gas, AND a match
Aftermath, Dre, grab the gat, show ’em where it’s at
(What the fuck you starin at, nigga?)’
So many people are shocked (or maybe do as if) by cusswords, but they often use them in their privacy. I wish some of them could stop being such hypocrits. Who hasn’t used at least one of them in a lifetime?
Cusswords help to express some rage under specific circumstances. When somebody gets on my nerves, I don’t feel ashamed to use them. It is even a relief for me to use them when I’m confronted to narrow minded and stupid people.
Being a foreign languages lover, I also know that one of the best ways to learn a foreign languages is to curse.
I remember how much I loved to curse in German as a little kid since I had caught my grandfather cursing.
And- by the way- to be perfectly honest, I enjoy the many cusswords in Eminem’s lyrics. I enjoy reading them, singing them along with him and also playing with them in my allday life. Eminem’s words including his cusswords have empowered my use of the English language.
And if you don’t like it, ‘fuck you punkbitchassmotherfucker’!
I’m just playing. You know I don’t mean it

You selfish bitch, I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit

(Eminem, ‘Cleaning Out My Closet’)
Is Debbie Mathers one of the most hated women in Detroit? If you ask me, I’d say ‘pretty much’. A lot of people dislike Debbie because of the picture Marshall is portraying of her in his songs. She pretends that her son had to live up an image and that the content of his songs are just ‘artistic expression’. She pretends her son to be lying, but she doesn’t want to call him a ‘fake’…
The facts tend to dement Debbie’s version. So many people, including her ex husbands and boyfriends have testified against her. Even Nathan, her second son described her as ‘nuts’. One thing is sure: Marshall’s childhood has been more than traumatic and has left deep wounds inside of him.
We may ask: how was Debbie’s own childhood? Can her instable behavior be explained? Maybe yes.
Debbie Nelson is Bob Nelson and Betty Kresin’s first child. She was born in 1955. Appearently, Betty and Bob’s marriage just didn’t work out. Betty Kresin pretends that her ex husband was verbally abusive. She left him:
“I hate to say it, but Debbie had a very hard life. I left Mr. Nelson, married on the rebound and had two more children.”
About the way she raised Marshall, Betty says :
‘ She done the best she could do. Sometimes we get in a pattern and her husband did her about like Bob Nelson done me.”
The situation worsened when Betty married Ron Gilpin, who was physically violent and alcoholic. He used to beat his wife. He left his family in 1968:
“I was real lucky to live. Can you imagine what that done to Debbie? She was about 12 years old.”
Debbie used to grow up in an instable home and was surrounded by violence and this my partly explain why she made Marshall live a traumatic childhood. Debbie Mathers seems to have an irrational and instable character. It is also well known that she had a lot of men in her life. Betty remembers the boyfriend who devastated her appartment:
‘Debbie had a lot of men in and out of her life, including one memorable boyfriend called Charlie. He went home and destroyed their duplex – even cutting up their king-sized waterbed. She called me crying, asking me to help clean up the flood.’
Kim confirms what we already know: Debbie used to constantly kick Marshall out of her house:
“It was rough, to say the least. She kicked us out every other day, threw temper tantrums, threw (things) at us.”
The situation with Debbie was so unbearable that Marshall had to move to friends’ home when he was 20.
DJ Rec recalls: ‘”It was basically that his mom was screwed up and he didn’t want to be around it, Marshall didn’t do any drugs or drink. He was just dating Kim off and on and doing the music thing, that’s about it. He moved in with us because he didn’t have nowhere else to go.”
Of course, Debbie Mathers gives us another version of the facts. She manages to present herself like a victim: a victim of her protective behavior towards Marshall, a victim of Kim’s jealousy, a victim of the records labels wishes for Eminem’s lyrics etc… In fact, Debbie never questions herself about the mistakes she could have made in the past.
You can read her statements here:
http://216.109.117.135/search/cache?p=debbie+mathers%27+childhood&ei=UTF-8&cop=mss&b=21&u=archive.salon.com/people/conv/2001/02/21/debbie_mathers/print.html&w=debbie+mathers+childhood&d=17BCDB3854&c=483&yc=20888&icp=1
She even manages to justify her 12 Million dollars lawsuit against her son. Then she claims to love him. The same sick song again and again.
As Eminem points it out (Betty Kresin said nearly the same about her own daughter’s love for lawsuits):
“My mother never worked, so her income was lawsuits. My mother was in K-Mart and my brother hit her with a toy, and she said a rack fell on her and sued K-Mart’ ‘
Men used to be another income ressource for Debbie:
‘ My mother would move them in, now able to laugh at the memory, and then she would kick them out and keep their stuff.” (Eminem)
But the worst was Debbie’s sickness (Munchausen’s syndrome) :
“My mother said I was a hyper kid and I wasn’t. She put me on Ritalin.”
Nobody would take Debbie seriously when so many people testify against her. Her own son Nathan wouldn’t describe her as nuts if she had a normal behavior.
In fact, Marshall can be lucky to have overcome his horrible past. He can be proud to be where he is now, as he told it to Howard Stern:
‘I look back on where I came from and I’m kind of proud.’
The only person who really sticks up for her is Todd Nelson who seems to have the same financial interest than her sister. Todd Nelson’s attitude is a shame.
He is trying to make money out of any little document from Marshall and he spreads as many rumors in different magazines. Money is his only motivation. In my opinion, this man is a pityful loser. He even dared stating in his tape ‘The Man Behind the Mask’ that he taught Marshall how to rap. Can you picture Todd Nelson standing in front of the camera with a guitar and pointing out ridiculous statements such as those? Who is going to believe him?
Uncle Todd also wants his nephew to look like a lier in front of the world.
He totally denies that Debbie abused her son and is trying to explain Marshall’s anger through the absence of his dad:
“Marshall was always very resentful over not having a father figure in his life. Growing up, he felt like he missed out on a lot.
“But all this stuff about him being abused as a child, is so far from the truth, it’s just laughable.
“Debbie did everything she could for him when he was growing up. She bought him his first car – a Lincoln Continental – and ran around after him so he didn’t have to take responsibility for anything. She’s done the same thing with her youngest, Nathan, and he’s growing up to be an equally spoiled brat.”
Nelson is very eager to make money out of Marshall’s name. He has even built his own website using the rappers name. Of course, (you guessed it) you got to pay to access to the family pictures and other former documents.
Todd pretends that the way Marshall portrays his mom in 8 Mile is a total lie. He says that Debbie received a consequent amont of money from Universal Pictures to keep silent for three years:
“Debbie told me Universal Pictures were going to pay her ‘50,000 over three years in return for her silence.
“They didn’t want her doing any interviews or making any comment on the film because they wanted cinemagoers to believe it was Eminem’s life story they were seeing up there on the screen.
“But Debbie knew the truth. It’s not something she did for the money, despite what people might think.
“She did it for Marshall because that’s what he wanted and she’s desperate to be reconciled with him.”
Who would believe Todd’s story? Marshall is rich enough, he doesn’t need to fake the truth.
According to the latest news on Debbie, she is gravely ill. She is battling with breast cancer and she would love to reconcile with her son.
Of course, she has been through a lot since Marshall is famous as her brother points it out:
‘Debbie can’t go out anywhere in Detroit without being recognised. And normally it ends up with her being abused or attacked.
“She’s had everything from eggs thrown at her to cigarette butts flicked at her. She got so fed up with people cursing or staring at her that she’ll only do her shopping in the middle of the night.
“It’s a terrible way to live and nobody deserves what she’s been through.”
There is no excuse for Eminem fans acting like this. I could never picture myself insulting Debbie in real life. After all, she remains Marshall’s mom. And even for giving birth to the most talented rapper, she deserves respect.
Knowing his mom is facing terminal cancer and that she feels lost and hopeless, maybe it would be high time for mom and son to forget about the past and to reconcile for each of them to live peacefully.

Eminem makes black music. He’s been accused so many times of appropriating black music for its commercialization. Some publisher even told me: ‘Eminem himself admits stealing black music for his own benefit. In my opinion, he took Eminem a little bit too literally when he listened to ‘Without Me’:
‘I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
do black music so selfishly
and used it to get myself wealthy…’
In fact, Eminem’s statements in ‘Without Me’ are nothing else but sarcasm. Eminem shows that he is sick to be compared with Elvis Presley who was actually using black music selfishly. People who know Eminem perfectly know that when he gets accused of something, he adds to it and exaggerates it. This is exactly how Eminem reacted in his song ‘Criminal’ against the accusations of homophobia.
Why do people always have to take the talented MC so literally? Probably because they lack a real sense of humor.
When Eminem goes on in ‘Without Me’, he points out that this concept of using black music works for a lot of white rappers. It’ s a matter of fact here are more and more Whites on the rap scene.But most of those many Whites probably lack talent and originality. Deep inside the listener understands that Eminem is different:
‘Here’s a concept that works
Twenty million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It’ll be so empty, without me…’
As far as I am concerned, he is definitely not a culture stealer. Eminem reminds me of some young white boy I had seen on TV. This boy had grown up in Ivory Coast. His accent was the accent of a black man, and frankly, a blind man would not have been able to make any difference between him and one of his black fellows. His whole behavior and body language could be linked to black people.
The opinion I want to express about Eminem isn’t conditioned by the media’s praise nor negative comments. Being myself a white woman who has spent a lot of time with black people and who has been influenced a lot by black music and black culture, I have always been very critical towards white people and other ethnic groups trying to make black music. I have been a blues, soul, funky music lover long before being a rap lover. When my son tried to introduce me into Eminem, he had to insist for me to listen to him. Eminem totally convinced me as a rapper. His talent, his well written lyrics, his imagination are undeniable.
Eminem is a white man who stands closer to black culture and music than he will ever stand to white culture in America.
In ‘White America’, he claims: ‘White America, I could be one of your kids’.
Of course, he is addressing to white kids. But his voice comes from the black hood. Eminem isn’t a ‘black wannabe’, he doesn’t talk ‘ebonics’ to look good in front of his public. He’s a white man with ‘chocolate on the inside’. His skin may be white, but his heart is entirely dedicated to the black community. Eminem’s lyrics sound like a strong message for white kids to look up at black history and to become conscious of the problems the black community is experiencing.
When I recently had an occasion to teach about hip hop in 9th grade, I have explored ghetto life and hip hop culture with my pupils. My pupils had a lot to learn about black culture. But one of them really surprised me when I have asked about Eminem: ‘Rap is supposed to be black music. How do you explain Eminem’s acceptance in the black community?’
He answered: ‘This man respects Blacks. He also speaks like them.’
Both elements are right. Eminem has always shown respect and love towards black people and black culture. A culture that is also his. He hasn’t stolen it. : he has grown up in hip hop culture.
His whole fight was about the recognition of a talented MC in a black man’s wor

As Obie Trice states it, every man determined his definition of realness. It also depends on our background and our personal story.
Obie also gives his own definition of the word ‘gangsta’. What is a gangsta?
If you ask me, I’d tell you that a gangsta is somebody who is related to the ghetto, who is dealing with guns, drugs and illegal stuff.
The urban dictionnary gives the following definition of ‘gangsta’:
‘a gangsta whom by definition is also a pranksta
dang, yo. that foolio is a gangsta pranksta.’
A ‘pranksta’ being defined as ‘One who pretends to gang bang, a busta, a mark. ‘
“Yo, u aint no G, you’s a pranksta Cuhz.”
Another website exposes 69 funny definitions of the word ‘gangsta’. According to those definitions, many people could correspond to the word ‘gangsta’:
http://www.angelfire.com/oh/JennaG/mood.html
I have even read a more original definition of ‘gangsta’ on a rap message board. It was written ‘ a gangsta is a person who is determined to reach his/her goals by ANY means.’ If this definition is true, I might be a gangsta!
But Obie’s definition is linked much more to the realness of an act:
“Every man determined his definition of realness
What’s real to him
Everybody’s got their own definition of gangsta man
Okay, this is my definition of gangsta
Surprise motherfuckers
You thought I never would arise motherfuckers
It’s Obie Trice motherfuckers
Look in the eyes of a real guy
I ain’t got time for lies
Niggaz frontin like they lyin
Nigga ya not tough
Decease the bluff
These streets is too heated up for you to front
Dre laced the beat
Heated up for you to bump
Real name no gimmicks give my niggaz what they want
Fuck the image of the blunt
That ain’t rap dog
Be who you wanna be but let it be fat dog
We’ll never let a nigga tell you how you should act dog
Specially when you’re fuckin wit automatic gats dog
These niggaz ain’t playin
I’m sayin
I’m sprayin
I do my dirty work wit my hands
I’m a man
Layin a nigga down he advance
You fuckin wit my plans
I’m lookin for the tooth…”
If you follow his description during the whole song, you will understand that Obie’s definition has to do with real life experience. He targets all those fake gangstas who open their mouth, but whose sense of realness is totally fake. He doesn’t give any name, but it is quite obvious.
‘Keeping it real’ is essential to be an authentic rapper. Like Eminem, Obie Trice grew up in the context of the Detroit underground. His album ‘Cheers’ has a different style than Eminem’s albums, it may be more about beers and bitches, but it also describes Detroit in its realness.
Obie’s words picture the harshness of the Detroit neighborhood.
In the lyrics of ‘Look In My Eyes’, Obie attacks all those fake gangsta wannabees who are trying to look tough, but who don’t know anything about life in the streets. You cannot doubt Obie’s sincerity. He’s a man of experience who raps under his real name. Keep it real in the D, dawg.
Obie Trice, real name, no gimmicks.

Times online has posted an article called ‘ How Eminem taught me
that hip hop is art ‘ where contemporary trombonist Christian
Lindberg expressed about Eminem :
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7948-1052167,00.html
It is interesting to notice that Lindberg points out the negative
image the press often displays of Eminem. It reminds me of some
article about Eminem I had found in a magazine called ‘ I love
English ‘ that is aimed at teenagers who want to improve their
English in France.
If I had taken their (wrong opinion) into account without
researching more on Eminem, I’d probably hate the talented artist by
now. The trouble is, such articles do influence a lot of people and
many people believe what is written in the press without analyzing
things deeper. Many people also allow the media to think in their
place and are satisfied with a superficial view on many subjects.
In fact, ‘ I love English ‘ portrayed Eminem as a big racist, an
homophobic man and a big women hater. They even dared saying that
his lyrics were worth nothing !
If Eminem was such a bad person, he wouldn’t reach such a great
audience (9 millions of persons) from different cultural backgrounds.
As he stated it in an interview given to the ‘ Daily Mirror ‘ in
2003, Eminem isn’t the evil person the press often wants us to
believe he is :
“They portrayed me as a vicious, vile, evil person. But I wouldn’t
have got anywhere in this business if I was just a complete asshole.”
In fact, those people from “I love English” don’t know Eminem in
detail. They don’t seem to get his sense of humor nor his satyre of
society. This magazine which-by the way- portrays other pop stars in
a positive way, has lost my respect. Why? Because their article on
Eminem was a misrepresentation of the truth.
I totally agree with Christian Lindberg when he says:
‘ He has a great sense of drama, he’s intelligent and provocative,
but above all he is someone who communicates. It’s an irony that he
is so frequently misunderstood. There are clearly people out there
who want to silence him and I think that’s because his lyrics are so
true and revealing of American society. ‘
Eminem is actually great in acting. He manages to captivate you and
makes you penetrate into his universe. Eminem has something to say.
You may disagree with his point of view (even some of his fans don’t
share the same point of view on things Eminem expresses), but you
need to get his message.
It is so true that many conservative and narrow minded people are
trying to shut Eminem down, because his presence is deranging.
Eminem is the mirror of true life, the mirror of the decay of the
American society. A mirror some people may be too scared to look at.
Lindberg’s views on Eminem are interesting. He has understood that
rap music is a sophisticated art. The rythm in rap music is complex
and you need a good sense of rythm to be a good rapper. Of course,
rap music cannot be explained the way you would analyze a classical
composer’s work on a score. It escapes to those rules and it often
scares traditional musical critics who don’t see ” real music” in
rap, which is so untrue.
Rap music was born in the ghetto. It is linked to street culture. It
has a rich sound and rythm that is in constant evolution.
If you look back at NWA’s style, you will notice that their album is
rich of so many different musical styles like reggae, jazz, soul,
blues…
Eminem masters rythm and sound very well. He also masters the words.
He is a real good rapper. In my opinion, he’s a genius of rap.
Lindberg points it out so well: “Eminem puts a personal stamp on
everything he does.”
This ability makes him so unique in the world of hip hop. His
particular voice, his originality, his high level of skills makes
you recognize him in a crowd of 10 000 different rappers. Eminem’s
music is great art.

D12’s song ‘ Pistol Pistol ‘ is all about ghetto life in Detroit. Detroit and its dangerosity is pictured in the song. You gotta be weaponed to live and to survive in the Detroit underground.
Eminem’s provocative side appeard in the first chorus of the song. His words spread like bullets and hit some intolerant parents. He knows how much his words are misinterpreted at first and so much criticized :
‘Slick criminal wit, the shit I spit chews
like a bullet came back that just missed and hit you
I say the type of shit parents slit their wrists to
need an anthem to amp you, then this the shit to…’
How many times have Eminem and his fellows beeen accused of being violent and to encourage violence. How many times have they been accused of making money by exploiting the world’s misery?
Two elements need to be taken into account:
– the lyrical content of the D12 album may be violent, but Eminem never told you to act violently. In fact, he often parodies violence.
It is sometimes difficult for people to understand Eminem’s personnality. When he gets accused of being evil, the talented rapper often gives a sarcastic answer to his accuser (who takes his words litterally). A good example is Eminem’s response to ‘Time’ magazine when he was accused of promoting violence:
“I do promote violence and I don’t give a fuck.”
– you also have to consider that D12’s album is reflection of real life. The mirror of the Detroit underground.
Swifty’s part summarizes the context of Detroit :
‘Nigga, we violently active, so fuck with us
see I’m backwards – I slap niggas and punch bitches
Just for asking, they must’ve been wanting to meet the Lord
when my parents talk to me they’ve got mean mugs and ignore
They were snooping through my closet, seen drugs on the floor
shells from the forty-four scattered over their porch
Bustin pistols in your windows with intentions to destroy you
trying to break your neck to conversate? Bitch, I’ll do it for you
Catch me laughing at your funeral when they lower you, you and your ho
you gots to go, bitches died slow and horrible
There’s no tomorrow for any nigga, we’ll shower you
young, Black, and powerful, (BITCH!) and I ain’t gotta lie to you…’
It portrays violence and violents acts which are put there to scare you to death. Those descriptions are continued by Kuniva who pictures a life that is conditioned by the gun:
‘I’d rather pack the heat and not need
rather than need one and not have it, I married this Glock-matic…’
Kon Artis makes a clear reference to a subject that scandalized a lot of people: the Columbine shootings.
Bizarre’s part is ill and funny. There aez references to thug life, to drugs to murders. I particularly like the way he humors Jehovah witnesses who will start thinking before knocking at the door, redneck reading the Holy Koran, Slim Shady falling back in love with Christina Aguilera. This is how funny people may act in front of a gun.
Bizarre’s part won’t leave you indifferent.
The song “Pistol Pistol” makes you travel through the mind of thugs who never go out without their pistols nor without a real sense of humor.Bizarre]
Yeah, welcome to Amityville
[Swifty]
Detroit, nigga!
[Bizarre]
The reason why rappers gotta pack pistols! Ha ha ha ha!
[Chorus – Eminem]
Slick criminal wit, the shit I spit chews
like a bullet came back that just missed and hit you
I say the type of shit parents slit their wrists to
need an anthem to amp you, then this the shit to
Too many enemies on my list to sift through
nobody got my back in this bitch but this two
Sorry officer, I don’t care how pissed I get you
but I don’t go nowhere without my pistol pistol

Nigga, we violently active, so fuck with us

Stepped in the door waving the four-four

you love being ass to ass
Grab a gun by the nose with the butt to gat-spank ya

Yall niggas sound like Jigga but act like Pac
yo, my trigger got the flu and this gat might cough
It ain’t nothing to tell, empty shells for the witness
I’m the hot nigga that’s gonna put hell outta business
It won’t be the same since we touching the game
make the hardest nigga in your crew tuck in his chain
You think this shit’s a game and we’re bluffing for fame?
I’ll squeeze off this tech until NOTHING remains
[Chorus]
[Kuniva]
The only time that I’m at piece/peace is when I’m close to one
cause I don’t know what’s waiting for me when my vocals are done
Tote the gun, it’s my way of life and it works
these cowardly niggas’ll put your fucking life in the dirt
Cause it was wrong how they left my dog, he was priceless
alone in the streets, bleeding, staring, laying lifeless
That’s why I’m heated, you never know who starts creepin
waking you up with AKs while you lie sleeping
I’d rather pack the heat and not need
rather than need one and not have it, I married this Glock-matic
[Gunshot]
[Kon Artis]
You know the sound when I’m spinnin round
spittin these rounds from fo’ pounds
while the whole crowd is screaming as loud
from they’re mouths as they possibly allow
Nothing is parallel to making you carousel
arial sommersault from ferris wheels to a pair of shells
Denaun carry the nine where I go
bullets whistle and hit you while I’m shooting at five-0
Some semi-automatic for static’s the motto
spitting like [Columbine kids] from Colorado
[Chorus]
[Bizarre]
This nine’ll turn a softy to a hard rock
it’ll make Jehova’s Witnesses think before they knock (Sorry, sorry!)
It’ll make your grandmother come out of her hearse
it’ll make Limp Bizkit get rid of Fred Durst (Ha ha!)
It’ll make Holyfield start fighting
it’ll make Ma$e say “Fuck church!” and go back to writing
It’ll make Shyne say he sound like Biggie Smalls
it’ll make R. Kelly give respect to Aaron Hall
It’ll make Christopher Reeve start walking
it’ll make a dog with no voice suddenly start barking
It’ll make a nun turn into a filthy slut
it’ll make the hardest pitbull turn into a fucking mutt
It’ll make a Muslim dye his hair blonde
it’ll make a redneck start to read the Holy Koran
It’ll make Ike stop beating Tina
it’ll make Slim Shady fall back in love with Christina
Christina Aguilera… HA HA HA HA!
[Eminem-Chorus]
[Swifty]
Ha, nigga, nigga, nigga! You better have an aim
cause if you don’t – you’re FINISHED – flat out, nigga, nigga, nigga
What? Fuck around and get popped with NO hesitation, straight up
[Bizarre]
Look at where the fuck we stay at!
Nigga, look where the fuck we stay at!
Fuck around with us, you get popped

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) ‘ The ex-wife of hip-hop superstar Eminem was back in prison after Macomb County authorities said she dropped out of a court-ordered drug abuse program.
http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/michigan/index.ssf?/base/news-13/1080209671213730.xml
Kimberley Mathers, was released from jail March 1 to attend a drug treatment program after being convicted of using cocaine while on probation.
Macomb County Circuit Judge Edward Servitto on Feb. 12 ordered she serve 30 days in the county jail and then be transferred to an inpatient substance abuse treatment program for an additional 90 days.
On Tuesday, she was back in the Macomb County Jail.
“For whatever reason, she left the program she was attending so the judge ordered her back to jail,” Capt. John Roberts, the jail commander, told The Detroit News for a Thursday story.
“For right now, it’s ordered by the judge that she complete her sentence in jail.”
Mathers, 28, was sentenced on Jan. 21 to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to charges of possessing 25 grams or less of cocaine and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle. The charges stemmed from a June traffic stop in St. Clair Shores
Mathers was also barred from using alcohol or nonprescription drugs and has to undergo random drug testing for the duration of her probation.
Her sentence is up on May 12.
Mathers and Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, have a daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers.

Benzino is dead. At least lyrically. Eminem has shut him down with his words and the more Benzino makes different attempts to attack Eminem, the more he looks ridiculous in front of the public opinion.
When Eminem wrote ‘ Nail In the Coffin ‘, he wanted to respond to Benzino’s provocative words against him in ‘ Pull Your skirt up ‘.
‘ Nail In the Coffin ‘ may have killed Benzino lyrically, but it hasn’t stopped Benzino’s megalomania. Being unable to find any good argument against Marshall, Benzino decided to put the race card in his (whack and laughable) lyrics. He seriously thinks he is the new leader of black people who impersonates the black power in America. Benzino is not even black. His reference to Malcolm X is a pretty clear example of racism (against white people). He is a 44 years old half black man who suddenly wants to launch his rap career. The only way he found was to attract people’s attention. His strategy was to attack the best MC on the planet. He even tried to prove that Eminem is a racist. But all his attempts to ruin Eminem were unsuccessful.
Matter of fact : nobody cares about Benzino. People talk about him because of Eminem. In fact, he owes Eminem a lot. Even his first TV appearence, as Eminem pointed it out in a interview given to Angie Martinez. You can listen to it here :
http://rapdirt.com/article3454.html
In his track ‘ Die Another Day ‘ that is made of weak lyrics, Benzino attacks Eminem with personal details about his ex wife, his daughter and his friends. His whole text is an example of pure jealousy, but lyrically, he has no weapons to attack Marshall Mathers. Marshall has always been a well weaponed soldier who is not afraid to send his bullets to Benzino.
Marshall’s attacks in ‘ Nail In The Coffin ‘ are subtle. He jokes about Benzino’s age and doubles it to make him look much more ridiculous. He points out his hypocrisy. You will probably know that he met Obie Trice in Puerto Rico before the beef started and that he praised him for ‘ Rap Name ‘, shaking his hands and telling him :
“Yeah, I got you! Dawg, you tight, nigga!”
A typical example of hypocrisy.
Eminem and his fellows have done more for the black community than Benzino will ever do in his entire life.
Eminem has done a lot for interracial relations in his personal life and also through his records.
It is so easy for Benzino to talk about the ghetto, sitting behind his desk and fantasizing about being the leader of the black community.
Eminem couldn’t have expressed it better than in these verses :
‘ You sit behind a fuckin desk at The Source butt-kissin
and beggin motherfuckers for guest appearences
and you can even get the clearances cuz real lyricists
dont even respect you or take you serious
Its not that we dont like you, we hate you – period
Talk about a mid-life crisis damn
last week you was shakin Obie Trice’s hand
Now hes a busta? What the fucks with that? ‘ E
minem concludes ‘ Nail In the Coffin ‘ on a funny note. His last words will make us seriously doubt about Benzino’s intelligence. His reference to Canibus also shows that he respects his rival who is a pretty good lyricist :
‘ Raymond, here, let me break this shit down in lamens
terms for you just to make sure that you can understand this
and Canibus they usin too many complicated fuckin words for you
Here then let me slow it down for you
so you can understand if I say it slower:
Let it go dawg it’s over ‘ ‘
Last shot. Benzino drops dead’killed by Slim Shady’s words. The beef between Eminem and Benzino is an underground beef.
I like the way the following website humors the beef :
http://www.hiphopworld.net/embenz.htm
No real rap music lover really cares about Benzino, none of them wants to listen to his songs nor to download them. Benzino, give it up. You ain’t no real rapper. You can raise your voice against giants in the music industry like Eminem : nobody cares.
The half white co owner and the white owner of the Source will need to find another strategy to sell their worthless magazine. Because nobody cares about your untrue allegations of racism against Marshall Mathers.
Eminem has given him a name. At least for that reason, Raymond Scott owes him respect.
Nail In The Coffin
[Eminem]
This motherfucker here, just wont shut up will you?
Talk about I owe you, bitch you owe me
Promote me right now
Man lets put the nail in his coffin
[Chorus]
I dont want to be like this
I dont really want to hurt no feelins
But Im only bein real when I say nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap
Old men have heart attacks
and I dont want to be responsible for that so
Put the mic down and walk away
You can still have a little bit of dignity
[Verse 1]
I would never claim to be no great Benzino
an 83 year old fake Pachino
So how can he hold me over some balcony
without throwin his lower back out as soon as he goes to lift me
Please dont, youl probably fall with me
and our asses will both be history
But then again youl finnally get your wish
cuz youl be all over the street like 50 Cent
Fuckin punk pussy fuck you chump
gimme a one-on-one see if I dont fuck you up
Tryin to jump the Ruff Ryders and they cut you up
And you put Jada on a track thats how much you suck
duck in the industry, swear that you in the streets hustlin
You sit behind a fuckin desk at The Source butt-kissin
and beggin motherfuckers for guest appearences
and you can even get the clearances cuz real lyricists
dont even respect you or take you serious
Its not that we dont like you, we hate you – period
Talk about a mid-life crisis damn
last week you was shakin Obie Trice’s hand
Now hes a busta? What the fucks with that?
Get on a track dissin us kissin 50’s ass
and askin me what I know about inditements-bite me
bitch I got two cases, and probation – fight me!
What do I know about standin in front of a judge like a man
ready to take whatever sentence he hands
What you know about your wife slicin her wrists
right in front of the only thing you have in this world – a little girl?
And I put that on her, when this is all over
I would never try to make her a star and eat off her
I dont know shit about no shoppin rocks
But what you know about hip-hop shops rockin spots?
When your the only white boy in that bitch just rippin
pressin up your own flyers and your stickers stickin
them bitches up after spendin six hours at Kinkos
Just makin copys of your covers of casette singles
and sell them out the trunk of your Tracer
Spendin your whole paycheck at Disc Makers
What you know about bein bullied over half your life?
Oh thats right, you know what thats like, your half white
Vanilla Ice,spill the beans and rice, Im eaten you alive inside
Jesus Christ, if your that much of a gangster, put the mic down
You should be out killin motherfuckers right now
Kill a motherfucker dead, kill’em dead bitch
Shoot’em in the fuckin head, go ahead bitch
Slap my mom, slap the f*ck outa her!
She cant sue you, she wouldnt get a buck out of you
Cuz your broke as fuck you suck your a fuckin joke
If you was really sellin coke, well then what the fuck
you stop for dummy? If you slew some crack
you’d make alot more money than you do from rap
You never had no security, you’ll never be famous
You’l never now what its like to be rich, lifes a bitch aint it?
Raymond, here, let me break this shit down in lamens
terms for you just to make sure that you can understand this
and Canibus they usin too many complicated fuckin words for you
Here then let me slow it down for you
so you can understand if I say it slower:
Let it go dawg it’s over
[Chorus]
[Eminem talkin]
Haha
Talkin bout I have motherfuckers callin your crib
bitch you aint even got a fuckin crib
You aint even got a fuckin phone, fuckin punk
Threatened to shut me down at your little fuckin Source magazine
if I come back then you would attack me, bitch you attacked me first
take it like a man and shut the fuck up
and fuck your little magazine too
I dont need your fuckin magazine, I got XXL number anywayz
And yall cant stand it cuz there gettin bigger than yall
oh, and by the way, howed I look on the VMAs?
When you was watchin me from whatever fuckin TV you was watchin me from in Boston
The mean streets of Boston, fuckin sissy
Like you got us scared in the motherfucker, suck our motherfuckin dicks
Oh, and for those thats dont know, dont get it twisted yo, the Source has a white
