Remember when there was a flicker of life in Eminem’s eyes? Remember those days? He was the Bart Simpson of the rap world and got up people’s noses and occasionally made a tune worth listening to. And everyone kinda liked ‘Stan’ for a few months.
Then, Marshall Mathers went mental, got strung out on all kindsa weird stuff and then watched his weight fluctuate wildly like someone looking at their reflection in a fun house mirror.
The one thing that remained as constant was Eminem’s potty-mouth. He swears more than a carpenter with giant thumbs… but not in his home, if you can believe that.
That’s what Mathers’ is saying. Once the microphone is switched off, he’s at home with his kids totally not swearing all the time. Y’know? Like a proper parent.
On a chat-show, he said:
“Profanity around my house? No.”
“I’m not saying there's not glimpses of me in the music, [that] there’s not truth in … things that I say. But this is music, this is my art…”
Eh?
It seems like he’s taking his role a dad seriously. Which is disappointing if you want to write humorous articles about stupid celebrities.
“I’m a parent. I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound, as a person … walking around my house [saying], ‘Bitch, pick this up,’ you know what I mean? … I don't cuss.”
We were kinda hoping he’d be an absolute monster around the house, swearing and pistol-whipping his family while playing sub-bass frequencies at them during the night, so they spend all day in a brink-of-tears sleep-deprived state, which in turn, makes them clumsy and forgetful, which in turn, makes Eminem even more angry… and so it goes on.
But he’s not. He’s all lovely and shit.
He’s even concerned about when your stupid offspring listen to his music but is keen to point out that he’s not going to try and teach ’em right from wrong. They’re your stupid kids, not his.
“I feel like it's your job to parent them. If you're the parent, be a parent.”
He should have added “motherf[that’s enough of that, thank you very much – Hecklerspray Bosses]

You does out sound like the writer is disappointed that Eminem is a good parent. It’s rare to find a single father and when you find one, you make fly comments about him?
e2verne says
your commentary is totally irrelevant
are you sure this is what you wanted out there in the blogosphere?

Jason, come on – can’t you take a joke? That “dissappointed” comment was tongue-in-cheek (hard to do that while rapping, BTW). You think that they are really “hoping that he’s an absolute monster around the house”? It’s their way of praising the (depressingly rich) guy – get used to it. Or get your laughs at a more childish gossip site. ; )
