Secret Service Probes Eminem 'Bush Threat'
 

THE United States presidential bodyguard said today it was examining lyrics by rap star Eminem to see whether he had threatened George Bush.

The Secret Service confirmed it was probing lyrics by the controversial artist, who says in a song: "I'd rather see the president dead.''

The words to the song, We As Americans, are available on the internet and have not been released by the award-winning rap artist.

Eminem says in the song: "F money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead.''

The Secret Service, charged with protecting the president, said it was looking into the song's lyrics.

A spokesman said: "We are aware of the lyric and are in the process of determining what action, if any, will be taken.''

A spokesman for Oscar and Grammy award winner Eminem told CNN the song was not ready for release.

"This was an unfinished song, either lost or stolen,'' he said.

"There was no determination where, when, how or if it was going to be used.''

Eminem, from Detroit, came under fire recently after a tape was uncovered in which he condemned black women.

The star said the words were "foolishness'', and the result of a split with a black girlfriend.

Meanwhile, his track, Lose Yourself, has been nominated for song and record of the year at the 46th annual Grammy Awards, which will be presented in Los Angeles in February.

People gotta stop fuckin wid em, he's always got a law suit on his hands.
~1~

That's some political bullshit. This gov.'s always gotta try to have a hand or a say in things that are unnecessarily touched.

Really, ask yourself: do YOU see a threat on the pres.'s life in those lyrics?

I KNOW I don't.

lmao seen dis on teletext this morning...only just woen up n' though i was seenin' things...l0l

lol...just cos Em said he'd "Rather See The president Dead" don't mean hes gonna go up to the white house with a glock n' rip shit up...l0l....wanna bet that if this song makes it onto the album in April/May then that line won't be in it...

The secret service really need a sense of humour.
Em meant nothin by the lyrics. So suppose we'll all see eminem in the papers this weekend

^^and you know they'll MOST LIKELY do that too, cuz Em and rumors sell papers. Keep ya eyes out for all tha propaganda!

Well, that is just one more person Bush can point a finger at and call a terrorist.

I don't like Eminem and I think his music is garbage......but this is getting ridiculous.

They act like it is the first time ANY artist said ANY lyric about the president that could be taken as a threat.

yeah its ridiculous What happened to the first ammendment? Hes allowed to voice an opinion like that as long as he doesn't conspire

this is really getting stupid now everyone is accusing eminem of something at the slightest chance they get, why dont they just leave the man alone the fuckin morons

This is starting to become a fucking ritual.

Like Eminem said: "It's just words on a mic"

its like we living in iraq or something if they gonna prosecute someone for shit talkin authority

I wunt be suprised if Bush declared war on Em, we all know how much a thick fuck bush is.

... yup

"im gonna kill the president
buy my album"

rap is art nothin more. people read to much into shit. just let shit go.thats the problem with the world today.people take shit to seriously. we just gotta learn to let shit go.

This is all leading to his album sales going waaaaay up.
