Eminem made a recording years ago in which the lyrics have been widely interpreted to be racist. When news of this former song came to light, it was bad for Eminem, and he apologized. Eminem claims the song is fifteen years old, written in 1988 when he was sixteen, while The Source (http://www.thesource.com/) magazine, owned by Ray Benzino and David Mays, claims the song is ten years old and was written in 1993 when he was 21. Here are the lyrics to the song:
