Eminem Sells Out
Hypocrisy is a trait that most people embody, some more than others. The rapper Eminem is on the "more" side of that scale.
The funny thing is, that Eminem has built his entire career on making derogatory, disparaging, and inflammatory comments about his wife Kim - though he does it in song. Though he's never really written a song, he steals beats and melodies from creative artists, and then raps his slander to catchy beat.
All of this comes in response to Kim Mathers' comments on public radio about Eminem.
And just to throw a little politics into the story, and to give a Liberal some props (I like to do that once in a while, just for show... and yes, this exemplifies my own hypocries).
Now the stupid thing about the situation (back to trashing Liberals, kinda) is that Kim has every damn right to say what she's said. And Eminem has every damn right to sing shitty songs about his bitch of a wife. The tragedy is that every time either of them opens their mouth they harm their daughter.
The smart thing is that everytime these idiots sue each other they get a few column-inches. And as such they get more publicity, and get a little richer. And in promoting it, I am being hypocritical too.
