I saw the repeat last night where eminem throse those
papers at moby and that sock dog thing. Ive read a lot of
your posts on it and i'll have to give moby more props cause
id rather have him in the world than eminem. at least moby
isn't angry at anyone or that...i mean who wants an angry
music maker? you want that image to look up to? "yeah MY
favorite artist is pissed at everyone" right on mate! >_<

Imagine if Eminem did that to Autechre? lol Autechre could
do nasty things to him...

I'd actually like to see Eminem do it to the guy from
Burzum, that metal band. He went to jail or something for
killing another band member.

I prefer eminem cuz he's controversial and that's normally a
good thing. USA especially needed him. He is important to
commen morality. Some of his texts are actually very
relevant and he is good for the hole black n white issue.

Eminem is a puppet for the music industry to make a few
extra dollars off people's stupidity, they know how gullible
society is. Oh, he's controversial! I HAVE to buy his
records!

from mobys journal:

THE VMA's
8/30/2002 - New York City

so, i, uh, guess that i have to write something about the
eminem/vma debacle.
hmmm....well, what should i write?
the truth?
the truth is that i honestly, in all sincerity, thought that
the whole eminem thing was done in some semblance of humor
until eminem called me a pussy (that was off camera) and
then threatened to beat me up. ah well.
oh, by the way, i posted about a million photos of my vma
night. go look at moby art and see my frivolous vma photos.
they're frivolous.
more truth?
i think that eminem is talented and interesting but i'm kind
of stunned at the anger that he has for me seeing as i'd
never met him up until last night.

and i love 'triumph the insult comic dog'.
and i was more concerned for triumph's well-being.if eminem
wants to pick on someone, fine, pick on me, but don't diss
the dog-puppet. triumph the dog-puppet is my hero.
that's the sole reason that i went to the vma's.
cos i love that little dog-puppet.
and jimmy fallon's intro was utterly outstanding.
and the strokes after party performance was wonderful.
thanks,
moby






you gotta give it to the man,hes got a good sense of
humor...hehe...that sounds like something id say

What I meant by anger is NEEDLESS anger. Eminem's anger is
uncalled for. He's just really dumb. There's controlled
anger where you put all that into your MUSIC. Don't go
around dissing people. Just focus on your music and leave
people alone. Some of us have made fun of moby yes...but
would we throw papers in his face or give him the finger?
Probably not like Eminem did. That's just totally
disrespectful I think. Eminem just needs to settle down.
gleesh...

okay, I agree with that.

I think they both suck, but if they want to make shitty
music like that, its their problem.

Moby is controversial in his own way imo-outwardly admitting
his Christianity and Veganism for a start. Also, he isn't up
his own arse at all. (I'm saying this even though I don't
like a lot of music) Eminem, on the other hand, is
offensive, rude, and like many have said, a puppet....he'll
crash and burn soon, once everyone gets bored of the
controversy....hopefully.
Imagine Autechre or Orbital prancing about and being
"controversial"....hehe.

Thats why I love the artists I listen to-they aren't image
concious and aren't interested in stiring up hate or anger
or controversy-they just get on with making good music.

uh, when's the last time you saw moby on tv talking about
veganism or christianity? or even human rights and liberal
politics? he's a sellout. all he'll talk about in the media
is trivial topics now. he does it to be "cute", which gains
fans. well, he lost one in me when he disavowed all the
beliefs and ideals he used to champion. at least eminem uses
his spotlight to raise important topics and create an open
dialogue among people.

I wasn't aware he disavowed all he previous
believes...sorry, if that is true, than I stand corrected (I
haven't exactly been following him closely, you see)...
However, that doesn't make Eminem's offensive actions any
better imo.

cs: moby started it, in case you're curious. he made some
sallacious, exaggerated, and flat-out untrue claims such as
eminem's lyrics contain anti-semitism (huh?????) and racism
(and i don't think moby meant against "other white trash"
either).

well i urge you to watch any tv interview with moby since
2000. he won't argue for his beliefs; when he's questioned
about them he'll give a short answer. but he has in fact
disavowed them in two ways besides not talking about them
(which is despicable of him considering he finally has
people's attention):
1. he supported gore over ralph nader despite the fact that
moby's politics and beliefs alligned 99% with nader and only
about 50% with gore (who is pro-death penalty and has a
pretty poor environmental record in comparison to ralph
nader's citizen group platforms). he even made childish
sneering remarks about nader in the media which undermines
everything moby claimed to believe in.
2. one of rolling stone magazine's "quotes of the month"
column had a quote from moby basically saying that he used
to write about all kinds of crazy beliefs and that he was a
little misguided.

as for eminem, i think you're taking his lyrics a little too
literally.

that's their problem then, not the artist's. i agree that,
to an extent, artists with large fanbases should take
responsibility with their lyrics, but they shouldn't bow
down to their critics. in the end, eminem does what he wants
to do, which is to provoke you into thinking about things
you probably don't want to think about.

so.. we shouldn't take mr.mathers' lyrics to seriously and
at the same time he's trying to provoke us into
thinking about things we probably don't want to think
about...

like what? could you give examples?

literally and seriously do not mean the same thing.
literally means what he's saying is sincere and not at all
figurative.

here's how i perceive eminem: his lyrics, like a lot of
hip-hop lyrics, are written "in character." firstly, his
style of songwriting is to use vivid exaggeration. that's
how he always shoots his mouth off. secondly, he raises
subjects in order to get people to think about them. but
instead of saying "what about gays, what do you think it'd
be like to be a homosexual?" he takes the GUISE of a
homophobe and says something mean in order to provoke your
response. he's blunt about it, in other words. don't you see
that it's just a way to get people thinking? in class, the
best way to teach is to use examples and experiments. you
can see that in eminem's lyrics. in real life he has little
respect for the FLOOZIES (loose women/groupies/trailer
trash) that flock around him, but he's not a misogynist cos
he loves his daughter to death. in real life he really does
have problems with his mom. his lyrics are all based on his
experiences in life and observations in society. that's my
take on eminem.

I think provoking someone isn't a way to get people to
think.

people just get angry and that shuts off all open-minded
thinking.

when people get offended they talk about it with other
people. that's what i mean by open discussion. eminem
obviously doesn't mind being a scape goat so long as he gets
people, especially puritanical americans, talking about
"taboo" subjects (that eminem finds interesting).

they talk about it with other people who already agree with
them, especially puritanical americans. they just go "ooh,
that eminem is evil, lets bury him with marilyn manson" etc.

i find that that is not often the case. everyone who's heard
eminem (and many who've just heard OF him) discuss him,
basically. not everyone is anal retentive or prudish. one
person who is taken back by the lyrics could raise the
subject with another person who understands what eminem is
trying to do and a discussion, like this one, occurs.

I was gonna ignore this one coz i'm kinda bored of it but
he's my 2p anyway...

Eminem's albums grab you by the balls, they contain amazing
lyricism and bring up some dark topics which 99.9% of
artists would never address, also he's funny as hell! He
raises issues, goes off the rails sometimes and generally
amazes and ENTERTAINS with every release.

Moby on the other hand... well I guess it's good music to
shop to. In Gap.

because his anger towards moby is totally uncalled for and
wrong

reason

i agree with you, eminem is a puppet
