SLIM CONSCIENCES AT A SHADY GRAMMY SHOW
I do not believe in censorship. But, I do believe in truth. I hate Eminem and Elton John with a passion. I will fight for their dual freedom to say and do whatever they choose. I will fight for their fans to purchase whatever they please. Yet, I would rather die than pretend that Elton and Eminem are not blatant liars and hypocrites.
Eminem said that he is not serious when he sings about torturing and hating and murdering his wife Kim. Yet, Kim recently slit her wrists. Elton says that Eminem is not really hateful. Yet, Elton has eternally betrayed his friendship with the late Gianni Versaci by performing with a legendary gaybasher who has recorded a song celebrating Gianni's murder:
CRIMINAL
...Hey, It's me, Versace
Whoops, somebody shot me!
And I was just checkin' the mail
Get it? Checkin the 'male'?...
I hate the Grammy Award officials much more deeply than I hate Eminem and Elton combined, for two reasons:
1. Too many superior black artists never win or are never nominated for any awards. (How the hell could Jill Scott not win an award?!? Her debut CD is one of the best I have ever heard.)
2. To award a toxic, mentacidal, maniacally macho, amoral, misogynist, demented, lunatic wigga with an attitude is to validate the lyrical genocide that he "creates". (See Amadou Diallo Songs: Alternatives to Hip Hop - Pimping Past the Revolution herein.)
I actually think that Eminem foolishly wastes his very real poetic talent on "music" that almost exclusively celebrates hating and torturing women and homosexuals. Other artists have done far less to offend others and they have been crucified and silenced. They are artists like Sista Souljah. Slick Willie (Bill Clinton) won an entire political faction by slandering her as a racist. They include artists like: 2 Live Crew, Buju Banton, Allen Iverson, Shabba Ranks, Angie & Debbie Winans, NWA, Professor Grif, Public Enemy, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, and many others... Unlike Eminem who has been made rich and famous with his far more rabid and raw hatreds, these artists were/are crucified.
Even the very song that Eminem and Elton sang, "Stan", has a homohating message. (I hope that Dido was absent in protest...I adore her song "Thankyou". Eminem samples it in Stan. Elton did it no justice.) In both the video and the lyrics for this typically twisted tale about an obsessive fan named Stan, Stan's obsession with Eminem is fueled by a homoerotic fixation. Eminem's narrative and video images undeniably link Stan's psychoses to his homosexuality. From makeshift homosexual photos to neurotically romantic fan mail, it is evident that Stan is not merely psycho, but specifically a psycho "fag":
STAN
Stan:
...My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about
you 24/7...
-- P.S. We should be together too...
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think
about it...
You ruined it now...
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't
BREATHE without me...
See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up bitch! I'm tryin'
to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the
trunk but I didn't slit
her throat, I just tied her up,
see I ain't like you
cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and
then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this
shit out?
{*car tires squeal*} {*CRASH*} .. {*brief silence*}
.. {*LOUD
splash*}...
Eminem:
...And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of
shit'll make me not want us to meet each other.....
I am simultaneously stunned, appalled, and pained from what I have witnessed. It has left me pondering: Why the different reactions? Could it be that sexism and gaybashing are just cooler and more acceptable and profitable than racism? Could it be that wiggas wield more freedom and creative license than niggas?...I will never forget the surreal duet between Elton and Eminem. It is akin to the following equally nonsensical and visually suicidal pairings:
Jesse Jackson & Jesse Helms
Hitler & Anne Frank
Marilyn Manson & Kirk Franklin
Ru Paul & Pat Robertson
Mumia Abu-Jamal & President-select Shrub ("George W. Bush")
TLC & a real life scrub/deadbeat baby daddy
Clarence Thomas & Thurgood Marshall
John McWhorter & Marva Collins
Tupac Shakur & C. Delores Tucker
Ice-T & a racist cop
KRS-1 & a Black cop
Hard Knocks & a criminal cop
Rodney King & a brutal cop
Amadou Diallo & a murderous cop
No other shockingly ill matched and duplicitous money and fame starved duo would be so embraced by their apolitical capitalist peers. Did President-select Shrub and his Republikkkan Con-vention parody of "Showtime at the Appollo" usher in a new trend of celebrities selling out??? If so, was this repulsive duet between Elton and Eminem not the apex of that phenomenon? Which is uglier: political hypocrisy, financial hedonism, or sacrificial fame?
Why are smug, racist celebrities like Bill Maher reviled for merely posing arrogantly ignorant racial questions, while Eminem is lauded for epitomizing a racist caricature of a rapper, and deliberately selling blatantly misogynistic and homohating lyrics? Is being a rapper a free pass for sheer madness? Does Bill need to lose his trifling talk show and secure a lucrative record contract instead?
Even celebrities that I adore (like Jill Scott, Madonna, Busta Rhymes, a lustfully biased Eminem admirer named Eve, Melissa Etheridge, and many others) used Elton's apathy and ignorance to verbally justify their own. I know for a fact that these artists would not have praised David Duke for recording popular songs bashing Blacks, then performing a duet with Public Enemy. PUBLIC ENEMY AND DAVID DUKE WOULD BE CRUCIFIED!!! Elton and Eminem should also be!
In a legendary interview printed in the November 2000 issue of Gear Magazine, Suge Knight blasted Dre and Eminem:
"I can't stand [Dre]. People say I was cruel to call him a faggot but what's pissing me off the most is that he was dishonest about it. I don't have anything against gay people -- to each his own. Back in the day, we would have parties and he'd pretend to be with all these women. Don't lie to somebody who is supposed to be your friend. That's why Eminem is trying to distance himself from Dre by rapping all this anti-gay shit. He doesn't want to be thought of as Dre's little white bitch."
Dre once publicly beat down a very tiny Black female TV talk show host. This cowardly and shameful incident is recounted in a book entitled Contemporary Musicians. (Farmington Hills: Gale Group, 1989-1999):
"On January 27, 1991, Dre allegedly hit Denise ("Dee") Barnes, the former host of Pump It Up, a FOX-TV show, and tried to push her down a staircase at an L.A. nightclub. Pump It Up had aired a segment about the separation of Ice Cube and N.W.A., with Ice Cube and the members of the group talking about each other. N.W.A. and Dre decided the show made them look bad. After the incident, Barnes filed assault charges and a $22.75 million suit against Dre; He settled out of court."
{Note to Dre: I am much bigger and badder than Dee...Run up on ME!!!!}
Eminem is actually as obsessed with hating women, his wife Kim, his mother, and homosexuals as the imaginary Stan is obsessed with Eminem. Eminem dons a tattoo of a tombstone that reads "Kim Rot In Pieces". His wife is suicidal and his own mother and grandmother have sued him for his lyrics...Clearly, Eminem hates everyone except clones of his male, rapping, and allegedly heterosexual self. As all rabid gaybashers, "Methinks he doth protest too much"... Perhaps Eminem's next shocking awards show duet will be with his apolitical, schizophrenic (As in: Original Gangsta/Anti-Gangsta/Reborn Gangsta) producer Dr. Dre. As a grand finale, they may both come out of the closet in unison...
Fortunately, 15 minutes of fame do not last as long as eternal karmic
debts... Eminem is a disgrace to music. Elton is a disgrace to political
homosexuals and posthumous friendship. And, the Grammy Awards are a
disgrace to musical artistry.
