    Weren't the racist tapes recorded during that era? And they betrayed Em by selling them to Benzino, one of them killed himself after.

    I can understand why Em dodges that era.

    was the racist stuff even THAT bad? I don’t remember what he said at all but wasn’t the song about a black girl that cheated on him or something? I mean we are taking about the same guy that vividly murdered his ex wife and r---d his own mother on record .

    and we all know dre let him use the n word on I’m back

    Well, he ended up trashing black women in general. And also had that freestyle throwing the n word around.

    I've sayed this before and I'll say this again. None of the group members sold the tapes to the source. The tapes where stolen from Butter Fingers. Also CK killed himself because he had mental health issues and was depressed but it wasn't because of Eminem

    He kinda acts like it doesn't exist. The most recent mention of any in Bassmint/Soul Intent was on MTBMBSB when he talked about Butter Fingers on Favorite b---- but before that it was when he kinda subliminally talked about Chaos Kid on Airplanes pt. 2

    Em dropped those dudes except Buttafingaz soon as he started hangin with the cool kids and black dudes

    it wasnt marketable to show he started on the scene with dorky suburban white nerds

    they wanted him to look like he was white chocolate

    He definitely should address it imo. We, as his fans, deserve closure on the subject.
