Drawing the Lines on Free Speech?
[Page 1]

There isn't any question that Eminem's music is filled with very explicit and frank language and messages of brutal violence. Violence against women. Violence against gays and lesbians. [I guess lesbians get it twice as most of them are women as well...]

GLAAD was nice enough to cull some of the more objectionable examples [which saved me from having to buy the album and put more money in Eminem's pocket] and share them with the world in both Adobe format and via a variety of press releases.

Some of the more objectionable, are well... objectionable.

Fast Fact: Eminem has refused to take responsibility for the violence his lyrics promote, and by placing him center stage tonight, MTV has traded responsibility for ratings." GLAAD

Here are a few of the more choice examples:

From "Remember Me"

(guest artist Sticky Fingaz) I'm the illest nigga ever, I told you I get more pussy than them dyke bitches total Want beef, nigga?...

(Eminem) Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen, With M-16's and ten clips each And them shits reach through 6 kids each And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets? FUCK THAT! {thhbbpp} you faggots can vanish to volcanic ash And re-appear in hell with a can of gas, AND a match

Here's another:

From "I'm Back"

With Ken Kaniff who just finds the men edible It's Ken Kaniff, on the internet Trying to, lure your kids, wit him into bed It's a sick world we live in these days

And another:

From "Marshall Mathers"

New Kids on the Block, sucked a lot of dick Boy/girl groups make me sick And I can't wait 'til I catch all you faggots in public I'ma love it.. (hahaha)

Okay, so call me an old-fogey, but I'm having trouble figuring out why anybody would listen to this music in the first place.

But I also think it speaks for itself. And doesn't look that good in doing so.
