Stephen Eyre article “Lost in Space” about Eminem’s shameless new clip
As quoted from EUR:
“Eminem’s songs, the rapper, are referred to as creative tracks—but is the creativity actually mocking Michael Jackson?
Eminem’s ridicule of Michael Jackson in his new video is not something that can be overlooked, because Michael Jackson is the artist who laid the foundation for all the music videos of rap singers. This video is malicious, due to the intensity of the issues and problems Michael is dealing with. You don’t have to feel sorry for Jackson, but regardless of who Michael Jackson is and how he got here, making a video like this is just as cruel as humiliating your mother in a rap song that Eminem also carried out. Of course, this isn’t about compassion—but how about a little respect?
Eminem is a charlatan who puts a bad label on everything. Gay people, female singers, and now Michael Jackson are good targets for him. Do you think when he will make problems like environmental pollution the subject of his songs?
Eminem’s “post” persona is only one of the descriptions in this vulgar melody. The president in the White House insults everyone and doesn’t even apologize. TV shows mock people. Our education system is still limping along. Howard Stern gets $1 billion to insult everyone on his show. It seems there’s no sign of shame in anyone’s behavior.
