FOLKS ‘LOSIN’ IT’ OVER NEW EMINEM
VIDEO: Clip angers MiJac fans.
*The latest video from Eminem has upset
a bunch of Michael Jackson fans who don’t
appreciate the lyricist’s numerous references
to the King of Pop’s child molestation charges.
In addition to playing Michael, Eminem
suits up as MC Hammer, Madonna, Pee Wee
Herman, the Will Farrell character in “Old
School” and the disgruntled Santa Claus
character from “Elf” in the video for his
latest single “Just Lose It.”
The offending footage, however, centers
on scenes of the blonde rapper dressed as
Michael Jackson. Eminem performs in concert
as the superstar, only to have his hair catch
fire. Panic-stricken, he runs through a club
and ends up in the men’s rest room from
his autobiographical film, “8 Mile.” There,
Michael rushes into a stall to put out his
flaming hair in the toilet water. He emerges
from the stall and comes face to face with
B-Rabbit, Em’s character from “8 Mile.”
Spoofing the vomiting scene from the film,
Rabbit urls all over Michael.
“I’m sorry but I don’t find anything
remotely amusing about a white man
vomiting on a black man, especially
whensaid white man has written derogatory
lyrics about black people in the past,”
wrote “Christine E,” one of numerous
angry feedbackers who wrote EUR
to vent - not only about the video, but
against BET’s decision to air it. “I am
disappointed in BET, not only because
it’s boring, repetitive and riddled with
tired clichés (like every other Eminem
video) but also because one of the most
influential black entertainers of all time
is more or less dehumanized throughout
the video. Jermaine Jackson was on point
when he referred to the media’s treatment
of his brother as a “modern day lynching”
and while it does not surprise me that
Eminem has decided to contribute to it,
I am angered that BET has provided him
with a platform on which to do so.”
Em raps in the song: “I done touched
on everything but little boys; that’s not a stab
at Michael, that’s just a metaphor, I’m just
psycho.”
Judging from the amount of e-mails
railing against the clip, folks aren’t trying
to hear Eminem’s lyrical justification for
using the lyrics. The video wraps up with
Em – as a noseless Michael Jackson
– sitting on a bed and staring into the
camera as little kids jump on the
mattress behind him.
“Eminem has crossed the line...trying
to be ‘funny’ with little regard for the children!”
wrote feedbacker “Gail,” who described herself
as “an outraged mother.” “He tried to cover
himself with the “this is not a stab at Michael”
line before he carried on with his antics. It’s
almost as if, he wanted to make sure that
he was covered in the “malice” department.
It’s like, he wanted to make sure that it is
clear that he is just joking. The problem is,
the joke is not funny...it’s just sick.
…Pedophilia (or implying pedophilia) is not
funny in any way, shape, or form...whether
it is in reference to Jackson or not. That was
just in poor taste. I mean hell, he may as
well have had a Kobe look-a-like raping
a girl in his video.”
Meanwhile, Shady/Interscope will
offer special collector’s editions of Em’s
forthcoming album “Encore” for its Nov. 16
release date. The set will be housed in
a telescoping box and feature 25 glossy
photo inserts, full album lyrics, an exclusive
Eminem photo and an exclusive free ringtone.
The set will also include a bonus disc of
songs that have previously leaked online.
