...When Eminem learned that the release of his third album, The Eminem Show, had to be moved up a week to combat a nationwide bootlegging epidemic, he said, "Whoever put my s___ on the Internet, I want to meet that motherf_____ and beat...
This may be the first of Eminem's famously foul-mouthed tirades that gets a chuckle from his critics. While The Eminem Show (out May 28) is being pirated on modems and street corners across the country, those who believe that the rapper's coarseness has inspired a generation of delinquents can treasure the irony: those supposed hooligans are now picking his pocket. Eminem could lose millions of dollars to bootleggers, but his rant obscures the fact that as a performer, he's actually maturing.

Most of the controversy surrounding Eminem's two previous records--The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP--stemmed from his now infamous lyrics threatening to kill his wife and his mother and expressing his rampant homophobia. Charged with being a bad human and a toxic influence, Eminem pleaded not guilty by reason of artistic integrity.

French jazz pianist and composer Jacques Loussier, whose works seem to draw more from Bach and Vivaldi than from John Wayne Gacy, has filed a copyright-infringement suit alleging that Kill You lifts portions of Loussier's 20-year-old song Pulsion. The Frenchman...
...Then, if I actually tuned in to the broadcast, I'd be treated to a delightful presentation of musical genius by Eminem, whose enthusiastic brand of misogyny somehow hovered just beyond the censors' reach; or even worse, Celine Dion, who, as far as I can tell, is even more unhip than I am but has huge lungs with which to torture her fellow humans. I'd try, desperately, to understand why these people were up for awards, and then, defeated and dejected, I'd switch the television off and take up some less punishing task, like translating Ovid's entire...
