Was Eminem wrong....

[Wreck]

in the way he handled the Michael Jackson rift?

Steve Harvey even said he "lost his ghetto pass" after going after MJ.

I personally think he did a little bit, it was more tasteless then anything else, but mostly just funny, playful, and entertaining to most.

To me MJ is a no-doubt legend, one of the best pop artists ever, and a great artist, but he was a child molester, a weirdo, crazy at times among other things, & went from black to white although people say he supposedly had a skin condition. Not sure how much of a fact that is, but Eminem didn't joke about anything that wasn't true, or wasn't rumored to not to be true.

Thoughts on this? Be honest, non-biased. I don't think he really was wrong, just a little tasteless humor atm for me, but it's an interesting subject to discuss I think.

i don't know why people think the michael jackson thing was so bad. i mean he went after so many other pop stars but the michael jackson one always got the worst reaction. i know MJ is a legend and all but i don't see any reason for em to hold back.

but he was a child molester

Proof?

yeah, theres no way to prove at all that he molested those kids. He was weird, no doubt about that at all, but he just liked hanging around kids...

It was ridiculous how someone came with the racist card. Come on, he made fun of a lot of celebs ...

^^ haha them pics are class

Eminem wasnt wrong, who cares if MJ 'feelings' were hurt, man up, take it on the chin and dont be so sensitive. (too late now i know).

[RealSickLindley]

Yeah, it back fired.

He was clearly drugged up and a bit jealous of someone having a career and reputation that he'd never be able to come close to in his life.

I find the odd joke funny lol but anyone who SERIOUSLY thinks that he touched kids is plain stupid and needs to do a bit of research before they type before they look even more retarded.

What backfired

[RealSickLindley]

The singles buzz was based on ripping in to the greatest artist of the last century, the biggest one ever. So whilst it got number 1's, he lost fans cos of it, and it made him look like a disrespectful little prick, which he was at that time. There's a difference between pop culture references and biting the hand that feeds you. When he came out, he would've never DREAMED of dissing MJ, Stevie Wonder, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Ice T or any of the artists that influenced him and paved the way for him. But after a couple of pills and some of MJ's personal problems, he went for it thinking he was bigger than that now, big mistake.. Cos however much hate MJ got/had, no one can get as many fans than him lol

At the end of the day, eminem doesnt give a fuck and said what everyone was thinking and doesnt care about losing a few fans becuase when his next track comes out, their bk bein fans again
