Eminem Interview by Debbie Rigaud for Black Gold
*** Please notice- Explicit Language ***
(Intro) Who would've known that on October 17th 1974 one of today's hottest mcs, Eminem aka Slim Shady would be born? By using virgin tight lyrics, metaphors that flow out of him like genetic material out of a thug after some raw sex, while at the same time manipulating words like a pimp does his ho, His Royal Shadiness has taken the hip-hop world by storm, transporting him from the underground rap scene to mainstream America.
It all started back in the hard streets of Detroit, home of Motown, where Eminem started laying the smack down on mcs all over the city. After garnering the reputation as a battle mc, Eminem entered the Rap Olympics in '97. Although he "lost" the battle and finished in an undeserved second, he still won the war by impressing Sway & King Tech (of 92.3 The Beat) in that they invited him to bless the mic. Super producer Dr. Dre was so impressed by Shady's lyrical prowess that called the show to get in contact with Eminem, and the rest is history...Vinni Vidi Vici. He came onto the scene. He saw, and others saw, that he has the skill to make his mark in hip hop. He conquered the stereotypes that people had about "white mcs" and his skill: A Double Platinum Album and blessing other albums, from platinum artists such as Missy Elliot, to the likes of the Madd Rapper and the High & The Mighty, not forgetting his underground roots. As well as dampening the panties of females worldwide. With topics ranging from baby momma drama (Bonnie & Clyde '97), being pissed off to those that dissed him (Just Don't Give a Fuck), a man fighting within himself (Guilty Conscience), and a Jesse James/Billy the Kid themed collaboration with fellow mc Royce the 5'9 (Tommy Boy Records), Eminem has put Detroit in the Hip Hop Atlas.
While other magazines like to dwell and exploit the obvious, it was time to get down and dirty and ask Sir Shady his views on violence in Hip Hop, negative publicity, and OF COURSE SEX, SEX, and MORE SEX. Now get your hands in the air/and get to clappin' 'em/and like back and forth because/this here is what you thought it wasn't/it be the magazine with the questions by the dozen/ I be the D-E-double B-I-E/and check out the man who goes by the name of...Slim Shady. (FROGG please forgive me!)
