Eminem Controversey
Eminem has been right in the middle of many heated discussions since the drop of his album “The Slim Shady LP”. Many people believe that Eminem is brain washing today’s youth with his lyrics, but is he? Or is Eminem just another character being portrayed by Marshall Mathers III. Is Marshall any different than some of the movie stars that go on screen and change from a normal human being to a killer? Many people are trying to prove that he is different; they want Eminem out of the music industry and out of show business altogether. But things don’t exactly seem to be going their way. Marshall just keeps selling more and more records, and in November 2002 he made his big screen debut in the hit movie 8-Mile. Many people are also asking, is Marshall Mathers really the bad boy the he plays in his music and movies? Although Marshall has faced gun and assault charges, many believe that he is nowhere near the violent, hateful, homophobic person that he plays. Some actually view Marshall as a loving, caring father who is nowhere near the character that he plays in his music. By examining both sides of this controversy, we can see whether Eminem’s lyrics are a detriment to society or harmless entertainment.
