One idea that was definitely Eminem's was to spoof Moby. I know Moby actually respects Em as an artist, and I told Em that. He seemed honestly taken aback. I'd like them to collaborate on a song and let me direct the video. Maybe we could make an 'Ebony and Ivory' for the 21st century. You have got to respect an artist that is willing to press a button like that in lieu of his career.
It was a brave move. I think because this image has been repeated so many times, it actually helped the world move on a little. In the last verse, he wonders if the FCC and parents don't like him because he is white and is doing a mostly black profession, and they think he is doing it just to get money. He also says that no matter how many other rappers there are, he is the best and rap would not be the same if he were to stop rapping. This song is clearly about how eminem has changed the rap game and how the rap game relies on him.
He expresses he hatred for how the FCC and parents want to change or eliminate eminem, even though, as he says in the song, how music, specifically the rap game, relies on him. Eminem has always been hated by the FCC and has sang this song that clearly states that kids no a days are mostly into his music and their parents are listening to Elvis and aceient music. There is this kid in the music video that has bought the eminem that had the FCC tag that sad "Parent Advisory needed".
Now Eminem is goijng to save that kid buy dreesing up like robin in showing the world that he is proud to be the FCC's hater. He struggled getting a record deal, singing the songs he originally wrote. He then decided to use an alter ego, Slim Shady, to realese different music. It was a hit so he stuck with Slim Shady. So just Eminem being in the underground battle rap arenas and then making it out big, as a boy with skin, was controversial enough.
But Em says that he is not the first to do so. Elvis Presley was not the first to integrate black music into white music and Eminem was not the last.
There are 20 million more white rappers out there who do the same thing and making it out big. But, of course, Eminem is the only source of controversy. So, even though there are 20 million white rappers out there, the void created by Eminem cannot be filled by any of them.
Hence, what would the industry do without him? What do you think about Eminem, his music and all the controversies surrounding him? Drop a comment below and share this article with your friends.
