There’s a rumor circulating around twitter and the blogosphere about Eminem dying in a car crash today. It’s getting so much attention that it’s one of the most searched phrases today. So, in a manner of speaking out, we have to put in our two cents. Also, we have heard the rumor and got real excited that karma actually works. But, the truth is we never address Eminem here because we don’t like prejudice and bigotry. So, if he is really deceased now this would be one of the few cases where we don’t mourn. He advocated the killing of a women. He promotes violence against women, gays and lesbians. He hates everyone, including black women, and then brands himself a pioneer in rap. He is just an all-around nasty person. Even if he slams some great rap, how can one like the content if it is that hateful?

Bullshit
It’s music. It’s an act. This how some people make money. I’m sure anyone out there wouldn’t mind being branded as “anti-semitic” For a few million dollars. If you really think that these “actors” are really who they portray, you live in a world full of make believe. You must live one hell of a life.
I don’t know about you, but I still won’t be a bigot for that amount.
There’s a good reason you can’t find the Web page — it has already been deleted. Another reader sent me the URL shortly before I received your message, but when I tried to access the page, which I’m told was a decent spoof of CNN’s online news site, it was gone.
The article was also posted on a bogus MTV Web page, deleted as well. Emails containing the URLs and the headline “Rapper Eminem Dies in Car Accident” began circulating among AOL users on Saturday; by Sunday the pages were nowhere to be found.
Here, from a newsgroup posting, is the full text attributed to, but not actually published on, CNN:

Rapper “Eminem” Dies in Car Accident.
Multi-platinum artist Marshall Mathers, known by the stage name “Eminem”, was killed at 2:30AM EST while driving a rental car on his way to a late-night party.
Mathers, who authorities believe was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, was behind the wheel of a Saturn coupe that witnesses say swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle, then lost control and slammed into a grove of trees.
The car was crumpled by the impact, making extraction of Mather’s body very difficult. He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics who arriced a short time later.
Authorities would not comment on details surrounding the accident other than to confirm the identity of the victim.
Mathers was 26.
Clearly a hoax. No legitimate news sources have reported the death of Marshall Mathers. The following denial was posted on Eminem’s official Web site:
“Despite sick-minded ne’er do-well attempts to create a state of panic in this grand country by virtue of a well-crafted CNN.com fake news story prank, our beloved Slim Shady is alive and well,” the statement reads. “Marshall is alive and at home with his family for the holidays in Detroit. And he wishes all of you shady holidays and a dirty new year.”
I don’t care what you think of Eminem – to announce to the world that his death wouldn’t be mourned is a horrible thing. Although Eminem raps about killing his ex-wife & uses lyrical bigotry, doesn’t make him a horrible person. Rapping about killing your wife and actually doing so are two completely different things!! So if you are going to hate on him for the material that he chooses to sing about, that makes you just as low as you think he is.
“raps about killing his ex-wife & uses lyrical bigotry, doesn’t make him a horrible person”
What planet do you live on?
Eminem is one of the best gapers out there he sings of real life it’s a way of getting his feelings out. Unlike sone tapers that just talk about raping a girl or gang violence or making a girl ride him all night or lick his lollipop. I mean seriously. Not to mention Eminem can play a instrument guess what no other raper can. But honestly no one cares what you think of him 90% of the world loves Eminem
