Em was upset about Will Smith’s speech at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, where he said, “See? I got a successful album, and I didn’t have to curse off or talk about violence.” Em felt personally dissed by the comment
I used to respect Will Smith. [Now] he’s dissed the whole genre of rap. He dissed gangsta rap music. And that is one of the most influential musics out there…Not everybody sees life as happy and as positive as he sees it.
Eminem personally had the edited version of this song make loud beep noises when he says “fukk” in these two lines; most edited versions go silent to make the censorship less noticeable. He wanted to make censoring music look as ridiculous as he can.
DJ Jazzy Jeff recently shed some light on how where this Em/Will mini-beef all started. Apparently Jazz played Em’s twisted version of Will’s “Just the Two of Us”, and Will made a comment that Em didn’t take too kindly to. So Em felt the need to respond to Will not just to stick up for the genre of gangsta rap, but for himself personally.
Will wasn’t too offended, although he did make a casual reference to the diss on “Mr. Niceguy”. But don’t you find it ironic that Will curses in films but not in his music?
