I make music to make you sick of fake music,
Hate music like devil worship and Satan music.
Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself
If they were brown Shady lose Shady sits on the shelf
Lets do the math: if I was Black I wouldve sold half
I didnt have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that.
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley to do Black music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy.
--Eminem
Written below are the lyrics to Eminem's freestyle from 1993. It was released today {Tues, Nov 18 2003 } by The Source Magazine which has an ongoing beef with Em. Dave Mays and Ray Benzino attempetd to make the case that this song was proof positive that Eminem was not only racist but also someone who was trying to co-opt Hip Hop.
According to Anthony Bozza, the author of the just released New York Times bestseller WHATEVER YOU SAY I AM: The Life And Times of Eminem (Crown), the tape sounded like Eminem was drunk. Bozza who attended yesterday's Source Magazine press conference specualted that Em was venting in a really nasty way after being heartbroken by an African American woman.
However heartbreak or not, there are many sisters who aren't going to be feeling him after reading the and hearing the lyrics. The Source Magazine owners promised that they would be releasing the tape by including it in every Source Magazine sold in their next issue.
The fall out on this will be something to watch..
EMINEM circa 1993
Track 1
Theres so many styles I might get thrown
And heres the place where I like to roam
And all the girls that I like to bone
Have the big butts, no they dont
Cause I dont like that nigger @#%$
Im just here to make a bigger hit
When I be kickin the hypest, dopest rhyme
Just say that Eminem is the best MC of all times Yeah!
Im running out of breath so heres Chaos Kid with the flow of death
Track 2
I seen a Black girlfriend and I kissed her
I kissed her; I placed it on her cheek
And she didnt come back til next week
Now it was next week and she was back again
Wanting to kiss a white kid
So she was my girlfriend, we started going out
But thats okay because we were Black and white
Blacks and whites they sometimes mix
But Black girls only want your money cause theyre dumb chicks
So Ima say like this
Dont date a Black girl, take it as a diss
If you want, but if you dont
Ima tell you like this, I surely wont
Never date a Black girl because Blacks only want your money
And that @#%$ aint funny
So Ima say look honey
Why do you do this?
You know, you step up to me like you a Brutus
Then you try to grab my spinach
Because its green and thats cash
So get outta here, cause I dont need your ass
I said that before, but thats okay because like I said youre a whore
Black girls and white girls just dont 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 thats why Im here now telling you this rhyme
Cause Black girls, I really dont like
We dont mix, its like riding a bike
When youre peddling hard, uphill both ways
You know its kinda hard and thats why I say to you
Im giving you a little advice
Dont date a Black girl, if you do it once you wont do it twice
You wont ever do it again because theyll take your money
And that aint funny
So Ima say look honey
I thought he said that before
But like I said again youre nothing but a big whore
So when mike catch on the bass line
Thats okay cause we will not just waste time
Ill get straight to the point
Black girls are bitches, thats why Ima tell ya you better pull up your britches
Cause all that cash is making your ass drag
From the boyfriend ya ganked and thats pretty bad
I mean thats pretty sad when ya dating a Black guy
And then you turn around a @#%$ another big, Black guy
Now thats pretty wrong, but youre just ganking
But thats okay because you need a @#%$ spanking
From me, the funky Eminem
Im busting rhymes and Im swallowing phlegm
Im busting a freestyle just like this
I say swallowing phlegm and Howard gets pissed
But when Howard gets pissed thats okay
Because he leaves and he doesnt show up for two more days
So Ill just worry about that problem when I come to it
I cross that bridge when I come to it
Because, I forgot the chorus
But thats okay cause yall saying bust a rhyme for us
So Ima bust another rhyme about this Black girl
She turned out to be a @#%$ wack girl
A wack girl, because Black girls aint funny
All they want is your @#%$ money
They take you for everything you got
And then you stand with a bunch of snot in your hand
So Ima kick it to you just like this
How does the chorus go, I forgot
But thats okay, cause Ima tell you in stride
Ima say oh foolish pride
Oh foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride
oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride; oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride
oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride; oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride
oh, oh, oh, oh foolish pride; oh, oh, oh
Date a white girl, cause they got the raw hide

NEW YORK Eminem found himself on the defensive Tuesday (November 1
after The Source magazine owners Ray Benzino and Dave Mays held a press conference to play a recording of the MC delivering racial slurs.
On the first of two tracks purportedly recorded in 1993, an audibly young Slim Shady raps, "All the girls I like to bone have big butts/ No they don't, 'cause I don't like that n----- sh--/ I'm just here to make a bigger hit."
The second track featured Eminem rapping about a black girlfriend he broke up with. "Blacks and whites, they sometimes mix/ But black girls only want your money, 'cause they're dumb chicks," he rhymes. Later in the freestyle Em raps, "Never date a black girl, because blacks only want your money/ And that sh-- ain't funny."
The first track was only a few lines long, but the second track went on for several minutes with Em seemingly rhyming off the top of his head repeatedly saying he did not like black girls and that they were only out to get money. Both tracks sounded amateurish.
"Don't make this right now a double standard," Benzino said at the press conference. "We gotta treat this the same way you treat Mike Tyson, like you treat Kobe Bryant, like you treat R. Kelly, like you treat O.J. Simpson."
Eminem responded by insisting he isn't racist and explaining that the recording was made when he was young, foolish and angry.
"Ray Benzino, Dave Mays and The Source have had a vendetta against me, Shady Records and our artists for a long time," Eminem said in a statement. "The tape they played today was something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African-American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today."
Eminem, 50 Cent and the rest of the Shady/Aftermath team have had a long-running feud with The Source, fueled by Benzino's accusations that the media operate on a double standard when it comes to the multiplatinum white MC and that an artist of color could never get away with saying some of the things Em says in his music (see "Benzino Ignites Beef By Calling Eminem '2003 Vanilla Ice'").
After their comments, Benzino and Mays refused to entertain questions about the tape and its origins. They did say they plan to include a CD of the Eminem recordings in February's issue, and they promised another press conference concerning Eminem will be held in the future, when they'll answer questions and have civic leaders and members of the hip-hop community on hand.
