EMINEM FEARS GANGLAND HIT
Sky News ^ | Friday July 25, 2003

Posted on 07/27/2003 1:05:13 AM PDT by Michael2001

Eminem has reportedly hired a team of ex-CIA men as bodyguards to protect him from gangland assassination attempts.

The rapper is said to be shadowed by the heavily-armed former US Government agents everywhere he goes.

The singer also wears a bulletproof vest whenever he is out of his car or home, according to the Sun's Bizarre column.

The paper claims he is "terrified" after getting involved in a bitter war of words with rival Ja Rule.

The highly-trained heavies - who are costing Eminem a small fortune - carry handguns and do security sweeps of anywhere he is going.

Eminem and Ja have been exchanging vicious insults in their songs.

Ja has branded Eminem's mother a "crackhead" and Eminem has hit back by ridiculing Ja for being short.

The rap world is infamous for gangland shootings.

Eminem's ex-bodyguard Byron Young is quoted as saying his protection is now much more than a one-man job.

"When hardcore gangsters say they're gonna do something, they do it.

"And right now they're saying they want to kill Eminem.

"For the first time in his life the rap thing isn't just about money.

"It's about street life - and street life is murder."

That's Kid Rock. I think Marshall is a genius.

Let it happen-en masse, and let a long needed cleaning out of the gene pool begin. Let all the thugs "off" each other, beginning with this white boy wanna-be.

Eminem is funny, and he has a great sense of rhythm. And for all the comments such as "clean the gene pool", and "let them all kill each other", well, I feel the same way about country music.

"My doberman will try to kill anything that is not family"

I heard his wife's Day Care Business is not very successful.

"Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose,
but can't but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose...
"We ain't nothing but mammals.." Well, some of us are cannibals,
who cut other people open like cantaloupes
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes..." -- Eminem

I feel sorry for country music singers.

Their wifes are always leaving them. Their dogs are always getting run over. Their pappys are always getting killed in some honky tonk bar.

How old is Eminem?

My mother used to sing this song to me as a baby.

Our dog has since left for that great happy hunting ground in the sky.

I wonder if that chicken and my dog will meet up somewhere and discuss old times.

Dog: "Why did the chicken cross the road?..."

Chicken: "To get away from you!"

Chicken breaks out into hysterical clucking!

Dear Mr Eminem,
You hang out with pigs you come up smelling like slop....These are the folks you choose to emulate and with which you associate. Get over it.

Munchhausen's syndrome is what you were looking for. If Eminem called his mother a Munchhausen's case, he was probably exaggerating. Muchhausen's cases will convince doctors they need surgery, and they often succeed multiple times! These are real out-there wackos. Pill-popping is mild by comparison.

I'd keep the beagles. Most dogs aren't smart enough to catch guineas. There are several flocks I pass each day and they seem stupid but I never see a one killed on the road. They are smarter than chickens and opossums.

The Rap problem also provides its own solution.

At least with the country music crowd you dont have to worry about thuggery, impossibly loud car stereo noise, and all the other rather obvious "cultural" messages, such as the glorification of violence, abuse of women, etc....
