The track is by Eminem, and it sounds like a free style, not a song. Like much of his best and best-known work, this rant castigates an untrustworthy ex-girlfriend. But in this case the ex-girlfriend is black, and the rhymes are full of crude racial taunts. "Black girls only want your money," he says more than once. And early on he lays out his conclusions in sweeping (and inept) language:
"Black girls and white girls just don't mix
Because black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks
White girls are good, I like white girls
I like white girls all over the world
White girls are fine and they blow my mind
And that's why I'm here now, telling you this rhyme
'Cause black girls, I really don't like."
Even before the news conference had begun, Eminem had released a statement acknowledging that the words were his but calling them "foolishness," the sound of a spurned boyfriend venting his "anger, stupidity and frustration."

These "artists" push trash to promote themselves and get rich, polluting the minds of our children along the way and yet they seek to insulate their own children from what they want your children to consume.
Eminem is 30 years old (but acts and dresses like a teen). He lives in a lily-white community where he can protect his own children from urban influences.
This is the reality of the cultural war.
A 30 year old dressing like a 12 year old- baseball cap, oversized t-shirt. What a joke. Emily Dickenson this guy is definitely not.
Love him or hate him, he gets both condemnation and applause, along with lots of money, for irreverent statements that sometimes rhyme.
Probably the more libertarian you are, the more you can appreciate his style.+I've got to formulate a plot 'fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only "mf" option, failure's not+You can do anything you set your mind to, man
So THAT is my problem.... ;-)
yup. Especially After a couple Bong Hits....
WTF??
Good start! ...... Put a "MF" at the end of that and you'll have your first line.
So the big, benevolent, omniscient and, of course, moral government should ban his music?
Some parents don't get it: you have to take care of your own kids.
Funny. You must have grown up with Bill Clinton or something.
I saw Randy Travis a few years ago and he couldn't even remember the words to his own songs. He actually had to stop singing and apologized to the audience. Sad.
At least Eminem is WYSIWYG, without apology. And by the way, Eminem derides druggies in his movie 8 Mile.
