During an interview with Metro Times, Eminem defends harsh and explicit words that he uses in new songs from upcoming album "Relapse". He says, "I really don't know. There are other artists that have used the word 'f*ggot' in their work... So why, then, when I say it is it any different?"
"Let's say if I say something f**ked up about Christopher Reeve, you know what I mean? Just something totally off-the-cuff," Eminem continues. "That's really f**ked up, but how is it any different than what 'South Park' is doing? Or 'Family Guy' I've always kinda felt, like, why am I special? Why am I that person who's always looked at and where the microscope comes out? I still, to this day, don't understand that. I guess it's just that I get a lot of attention, I don't know! It's very hard to say. I guess that maybe when I speak, I seem to draw the flies."
Beside talking about his controversial lyrics, Eminem also discusses "We Made You" music video, which features Jessica Simpson impersonator. Stating that it's a "time capsule of what's going on in pop culture right at that moment," he notes, "I've always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, 'Oh, remember what was going on at that moment!' You know what I mean? 'Oh, that's when Jessica Simpson got fat.' 'Oh, OK!' And even if she gets thin again, that's fine. But for that moment in time, she was fat."
Eminem has drawn several protests over both his controversial lyrics and videos, which are often considered as insults. Back in April, Fox's news correspondent Bill O'Reilly called the lyrics of "We Made You" as "crude" and "misogynist". He also considered its video as "nothing" but something "played for kids that are confused."
Most recently, Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon reacted to Eminem's song "Bagpipes From Baghdad", which contains lines "Nick Cannon, you pr***, I wish you luck with that f***in' whore." Through a post on his blog, Nick blasted the Slim Shady stating, "Calling my wife a 'c***' and a 'whore' is way worse than anything Don Imus could have ever said. Miss Marshall, I'm going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife."

err poetic justice? ("say what?!") lol... elaborate? ...and really? I doubt that...Eminem would fuck anyone up that tried to mess with hailey..atleast imo.. hypothetical jokes about how he'd have a gat ready for anyone that talked trash on hailey @ her school lol... You may not think of him as a lyrical genius but looking at his career as an artist over all its very rational and logical for someone to think that he is a lyrical genius. The groundbreaking, genre defining work of his is out there
While his music is entertaining I wouldn't call him a genius lyricist. I'd love for some rapper to make up a song that involved his daughter. That would be awesome...Perhaps we could get Nick Cannon to go over there and boink Haley and then leak the footage..maybe he could get her to lick his butthole!!! maybe eat some nerds outta them...Yes!! Now that would be Brilliant!! I just hope when she gets to the age of majority someone treats her like a complete whore and disrespects the hell out of her. Perhaps she can have a black (errr mixed) baby (cause we all know Slim wishes he was black) and That Baby turns out to be the HUGEST FAGGOT EVER!! Now that's Poetic Justice.
Eminem is talented in so many ways...his metaphors his flow his lyrics...everything...its like he can just spit it and when its heard u can feel any number of things...theres so much emotion in his lyrics and people can relate to his music because of that. His music can just be anaylzed forever and ever
... And Nick Cannon is a fucking moron. Eminem will destroy that fucker without trying... Nick Cannon is barking up the wrong tree... and Mariah Carey shouldn't have been a bitch and denied that Eminem and her were together... and Eminem and me both are "smokin the weed and poppin the e" and that has nothing to do with this bullshit lol....Eminem said that Bagpipes from Baghdad was not meant to even be a realistic diss...he did however come out with a song after this controversy started that actually is a diss towards Nick Cannon and Mariah carey and they totally deserve it...Nick cannon is shit compared to Eminem. lol
Eminem is truely a lyrical genius. There are alot of uneducated haters (a few posting here) that dont know a damn thing about Eminem and still feel like they can express their opinion obviously....people need to educate themselves before they state their opinions on the facts(that they know nothing about apparently). His flow with words is amazing and he is totally a metaphorical/lyrical genius...dont look at mainstream eminem only and say he is so terrible...there is truely some deep meaning behind alot of his work that I'd guess you aren't even aware of...I see there are also some ppl posting here that are on the exact same page though. Alot of his songs that are very offensive that throw the "F-word" (omg) left and right are his mainstream songs..which I love those too but they are just for fun... just dirty little jokes that dont mean a damn thing really...They have a habbit of offending retards which is hilarious. "I never meant this Rhyme to be offensive If you weren't so defensive, it wouldn't be You're so sensitive" Dont like his sound (think he sounds like a 4th grader) w/e .. think he is offensive or wrong w/e pussies. However, you cannot deny the pure facts that are infront of everyones faces. Eminem is a true lyrical genius whose flow is sicker than anyone else and can spit metaphors like no other. "You hate it but you know respect you got to give me The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney, Nate hit me" ...so Fuck all you ignorant Mother Fucking Fagit Haters that continue to pretend their blind to all the facts and continue to trash talk...this is a controversial topic that has been over....and Eminem has won..no contest
Hey I love Eminem and all but the people on here telling Nick Cannon to shut up and what not are retarded. If someone spoke about your wife calling her a cunt and a whore you would speak out too.. At least I would hope so.. So STFU with the Nick Cannon get over it you big pussy talk.
this is adressed to LOL Eminem is extremly talented. His skill out ways any other rapper of anytime. His lyrics are metaphorical nnot physical, anyone that raps about the shit theyv gone through and expresses it to the whole world had balls. And ts not the lyrics that the skill is even measured in, its the flow. and eminem can spit the fastest,clearest,and most meaning full shit ever. THE END
Is funny how all these little kids up in here defend a drug addict LOL. Not mention they know nothing about life and that is why they think that his music is the "shit" as they say. Rhyming with F here and F there does not make someone all that, and all this guys does is talk about other people cause he knows that is the only way he would make it. Let him not use a bad word or talk about anyone and no one would buy his shit LOL. He speaks the truth? what truth, that he does not know how to speak properly and he has to curse, that he has no education and no manners, that he is insane and talks about killing his mother, wife and etc. is that talent? only crazy people would listen to that garbage about killing and raping your own mother, that is sick, how can you rap about that? and people think he is amazing. Wow, those people must be letting the weed and e speak for them, they probably get it poppin, hood, they get poppin LOL
Eminem is the best ever, there is no getting around it, he will be forever the best. i can't believe people arnt pissed about insane, incest step father rape, but i support him on everything, because he speaks the truth, straight up
When the name Eminem come's up - two words cross my mind.. Lyrical Genius...
yea ppl just hatin, n Em likes the attention, like he said, ''i was sent here to annoy the world'', n nick cannon just chill the fuck out man, u will never beat marshall, hes the shit, aint no one better.....
NICK CANNON IS A FAGGET AND NEEDS TO GET A LIFE!!!!! LEAVE THE DAMN SONG ALONE
OKAY NICK CANNON I THINK THAT U NEED TO BACK UP LIKE THE SONG SAYS ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN SOUTHPARK AND EMINEM ROCKS!!! HE BEATS UR SORRY ASS!!! SO LEAVE HIM THE F**K ALONE!! BECAUSE YOU WONT WIN THIS BATTLE EMINEM WILL AND YOU WILL JUST LOOK LIKE A DUMBASS FOR EVEN BOTHERING TO DEAL WITH IT BE A MATURE ADULT AND GROW THE F**K UP!!
ppl r generally fooled of his ability when they hear eminem`s song when he is slim shady......if u wanna hear sum intense things....listen to ny song frm the marshall mathers lp..the album which is the highest selling rap album eva..nd the fastest selling album in history of the music world.....eminem fans
Guyz did anyone here new Em's song Beatiful? All the haters should hear it!!! hahah
yo angry B i agree man eminem is a total lyrical genius every fucking cunt says other wise r jst jealous. the biggest FAGGOT is NICK CANNON! EMINEM ia total GENIUS!
i cnt understand why nick cannon has gt the hump mariah is a fat looney whore. anyway fuck that i think em should release insane with a mindblowing video to go with it then that will piss people off.
@Angry ben, I totally agree with you. Cut the guy some slack for god sake, he's lyrically a fucking genius. Fuck everyone who says otherwise.
Eminem knows more about the human condition than a lot of us will ever know. Its the reason he's successful. Why so sensitive reality check? ... On another note, Em is a lyrical genius beyond comparison. He's been droppin' albums since 96, and hasn't fallen off one darn bit. The only rapper you can compare to him with commercialism and longevity is Jay-Z, and Jay-Z is garbage now to be honest, so whose left? ...
If some says the word "faggot" every one automatically assumes s/he is a homophobe. It's an insult, that isn't always directed at homosexuals. Also, it's blatantly obvious that Em is just going for the shock factor here. All this attention is what he wants. He wants to piss people off, and he's done it. I personally think he's new songs are wicked. Well done Shady.
why does Eminem feel the need to rap about "faggots" in his songs or even use that word? How does the word "faggot" even fit into what his song is about? A faggot is a bundle of sticks btw. It's in the dictionary!
Eminem is just playin and nobody can take a joke. Just wait to see what happens if you piss him off...lol! Also "reality check" how dumb are you...LMAO!!!!!!! You are out numbered. Stay out of Eminem sites if you don't like him!!!
nick cannon on the other hand is just pissed cuz no 2 ever heard of his sorry ass and the albums he did put out there went Negative Platinum so nick get off Mariah coat tails already cuz its not going 2 help ur so called rap career
it seems like every time Em puts an album out there every 1 is on his back about it there just mad cuz the guy is a genius and his lyrics r the best out there no 1 can hold a candle 2 him and its sad that they just cant leave the guy be
Nick cannon is riding mariah coat tails 2 get his so called rap career started since he couldnt sell enough albums 2 wipe his own ass with nick cant act nor can he rap so he just pissed cuz he got sloppy seconds
I'd have to agree with everyone but reality check....we all wish we had the mental greatness of hearing the voices of that guys alter-ego's.great work Em.
to the person, or whoever, responded to my post... wow dude or dudette... you sound just as angry and bitter as your homey, Em the Clown.
check your reality. if you think he sounds like a 4th grader with a potty mouth, you clearly opinions from papers and not experience and independant thought. Idiot. Try listening to Lose Yourself, White America, Square Dance, Till I Collapse... I think you'll find they are all lyrical genius. Rhymes within rhymes within rhymes, linking rhymes. Tongue in cheek, wit, character play, persona juggling. Get with it or fuck off.
The lady doth protest too much... M & M uses the F word so much because people who are repressed homosexuals are the ones who speak loudest against it. He's a closet case if there ever was one. He needs to just go away. A genius lyricist he is NOT. He sounds like a 4th grader with a potty mouth.
