As far as fans know, Eminem did not perform new music at G-Shock's exclusive "Shock the World" event in NYC last week. But rumors surrounding the release date for the Detroit rapper's highly-anticipated 2013 album still dominate the web - perhaps the record will hit stores this Labor Day (September 2)? As Slim Shady loyalists express their enthusiasm on Twitter, some parents are not too happy with the promoters of the new children's flick, "Despicable Me 2." Em's hit song "Without Me" is featured in a few of the film trailers, and several youngsters found the tune rather catchy. But when Mom and Dad did some digging, they discovered that the true lyrics were rather vulgar and inappropriate. Cause for concern, or really no biggie?
The popular Universal Pictures 3D-animated comedy sequel "Despicable Me 2" hit theaters on July 3, 2013. The film is rated PG for "rude humor and mild action." But according to New York Post reader Brendan Roberts, the actual movie wasn't the problem. It was the film trailer:
Roberts claims that the Eminem tune featured in the clip is rather catchy for a preadolescent. But that's when he discovered the true lyrics - "So, of course, my nine-year-old wanted to hear the whole song... My Lord, check out the lyrics on that one!"
Okay, so here they are:
Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside, 'round the outside, 'round the outside
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back,
guess who's back,
guess who's back,
guess who's back
guess who's back
Guess who's back...
[Verse 1]
I've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to
see Marshall no more they want Shady I'm chopped liver
well if you want Shady, this is what I'll give ya
a little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
some vodka that'll jumpstart my heart quicker than a
shock when I get shocked at the hospital by the doctor when I'm not cooperating
when I'm rocking the table while he's operating (hey!)
you waited this long now stop debating 'cause I'm back,
I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney but your husband's heart problem's complicating
So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me so let me see
they tried to shut me down on MTV but it feels so empty without me
So come on dip, bum on your lips f#ck that,
c#m on your lips and some on your t#ts and get ready 'cause this s#it's about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits F#ck YOU DEBBIE!
[Chorus 2x:]
Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy,
'Cause it feels so empty without me
[Verse 2]
Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
they start feeling like prisoners, helpless,
'til someone comes along on a mission and yells "b#tch"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution, polluting the air waves a rebel
so just let me revel and bask, in the fact that I got everyone kissing my a$$
and it's a disaster such a catastrophe for you to see so damn much of my a$$ you ask for me?
Well I'm back [batman sound]
fix your bent antennae tune it in and then I'm gonna
enter in and up under your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please" feel the tension soon as someone mentions me
here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 3]
A tisk-it a task-it, I'll go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this s#it, that s#it.
Chris Kirkpatrick you can get your a$$ kicked
worse than them little Limp Bizkit b#stards, and Moby
you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 year old bald headed f#g blow me
You don't know me, you're too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno
Now let's go, just give me the signal I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil ever since
Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes the s#it just seems, everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting, but its just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley, to do Black Music so selfishly
and use it to get myself wealthy (Hey)
there's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
but no matter how many fish in the sea it'd be so empty without me
[Chorus 2x]
(Hum dei dei la la Hum dei dei la la... la la la) [2x]
Kids!
Oh my - hey, at least there's the edited version! Right?
Is their an ongoing issue with such "adult-themed" music being featured in children's movies?
Meanwhile, here's what fans are currently saying about the upcoming album:
@Jess_Cuhh_Leigh: "Patiently waiting on Eminem's new album... #foreverwaiting."
@garrettkent23: "Lol when eminem's new album comes out, all these other bands are gonna be irrelevant. Happens every time."
@Poozza_Shadyy: "Dear Eminem, Still no word, I don't deserve it?? :'( #your_new_album."
That's right, still no official word from the "Real Slim Shady" himself.
