Eminem’s Free Speech Hypocrisy
By
When rapper Eminem first came to national attention, several years ago, many in America were rightfully alarmed by his “songs” about gang-raping his sister for her 10th birthday and murdering and chopping up his wife Kim in front of their daughter.
But Marshall Mathers III (Eminem’s real name) and his representatives were constantly shouting from the treetops about the First Amendment and his “free speech” rights.
Well, now, the shoe is on the other foot. His twice ex-wife, Kim, has been talking to any and all who will listen–from ABC’s “20/20” to local radio stations in Detroit. She’s blabbed about everything from his penis size to his impotence to his drug abuse to his marital infidelities.
So, imagine my surprise when I read this morning’s Detroit Newsistan to read that this champion of First Amendment free speech, Eminem, now can’t handle the exercise thereof by other parties. Yup, Mathers a/k/a Eminem is asking Michigan’s Macomb County Circuit Court to silence Kim Mathers from talking about him to the media.
He’s claiming that this speech is harmful to their daughter. As if Eminem’s rapping about the daughter helping him dump her mother’s body parts in a car trunk in a lake is any less traumatic. It isn’t.
This isn’t the first time Eminem has displayed his hypocrisy in a major way. As I’ve written, Mathers raps about “hos,” “bitches,” and gang-rape and poses with scantily-clad strippers. But he got into a . (Police were called.)
It’s time for someone to finally slap this hypocrite down. And I hope the Macomb County Circuit Court Judge hearing his motion to silence his ex-wife does the job.
The First Amendment doesn’t just apply to repulsive rappers. If Marshall Mathers III/Eminem wants to lecture America on the “virtues” of free speech, he must endure the exercise thereof by Kim Mathers.
Put up or shut up, Eminem. Karma is a bitch.

Eminenema may be another rapper who doesn’t believe half the garbage he spews. I’ve encountered many rappers over the past 2 decades. Some famous, some wanna-be’s. Almost all I’ve seen are frauds who tell their sucker audiences what they want to hear. Some speak and act with a gangsta thug attitude while on stage and in video interviews. When the show or interview is over they change personalities and become nice, pleasant individuals. I’ve even had some apologize to me for their on-stage behavior (making anti-white remarks) and admit it’s all part of the act. It’s not surprising to see Mather’s acting this way. Who knows how much of his act is real or not.
