And speaking of that, and messed up things even for Eminem; If he's talked about Columbine like he did I wouldn't put it past him to talk about Eric Claptons son..

True I guess I wouldnt put it past him, but thatd sure be a low blow.

I don't see the big deal. He rapped about JonBenét Ramsey and nobody complained, is it somehow different because it's Eric Clapton's son?

I just think its kinda messed up to make fun of someone for the tragic death of their 4 year old kid. I mean if you ever said that to someone in person then you should fully expect and deserve to have your ass kicked.

Em has no boundaries.

And anyway, you DO have to wonder why the parents weren't watching him. If I had a little kid and I was staying on the fiftieth floor of a hotel, I'd practically chain the kid to me and lock the windows. I definitely wouldn't leave a window open, even if I was just a couple feet away from the kid.

Bit harsh, all you gotta do is take your eye off the kid for a split second.

This is so stretched, I don't think this is a Clapton jab. First, I don't even know if his son's name was Eric anyway? Em wouldn't be that fucked up. He just puts random popular kid's names in rhymes, with no meaning or significance behind the line, besides simply completing the rhyme. Eric rhymed with terrace so that probably worked in his mind to say it.
