You don't think it was his decision to censor Hailie's Song?

YOLO MOTHERFUCKER

Yeah, I mean they got fold somewhere.. if MMLP was released today, i bet it wouldnt be cencored. The only thing i agree with is cencoring the 4 year old laying dead with a slit throat line... but then again if you can stand to listen to kim than i guess it doesnt even matter aha

I can understand Em having to listen to the label. But it's still crap. I mean Dre was in NWA. It's not like they sell a family values type vibe. You know what you're getting.

That's the thing, though. The people who flip out when something goes uncensored are shocked because they DON'T know what they're getting.
We all know Dre & Aftermath & rap in general. The sheltered kids and overbearing parents don't. Hence, the shock and appall at the content of the music. If albums were released to little camps filled with only people educated on the material in question, censorship would be unnecessary. But, if you want to go platinum, you have to cater to the mainstream audiences, who don't know jack shit.

I don't agree with that at all. Yes, Eminem got a lot of white fans that didn't know what rap was.

But is raped the women's swim team really worse than

"Now listen to me, while you're kissin her cheek
and smearin her lipstick, I slipped this in her drink
Now all you gotta do is nibble on this little bitch's earlobe..
Fuck this bitch right here on the spot bare
Til she passes out and she forgot how she got there

There is the drugging and rape of a 15 year old. I mean, if you go by the mass appeal logic the entire album should be silence. I just think it's stupid to edit any of Em's stuff because it's all insane.

If you are listening to a rap album, then you can't get upset.

It's like people that get pissed off at comics jokes. You came to see them. You knew how comedy works. And now you are mad.

So what are you saying, exactly?

Because if your stance is that the censorship was stupid, then I don't think any of us disagree. If you're saying that Eminem himself censored the things that were censored, then you've contradicted yourself here. The point is that the label wasn't always consistent in what they deemed unacceptable.

I'm just saying Eminem should have stood up for his music more. Especially after SSLP.

I don't see how once you make that much money, you allow anyone to tell you how to make your music.

He could have just released his stuff on Shady records the way he wanted. And if he had some contract, I still think the ball would be in his court if he pressed the issue. Those are his songs and for anyone to censor any of it is insane. Especially since almost every line of every record could be called offensive.
