Bill: Ok, that’s fine. But if she’s involved in the production of the
song. What would you say then?
Keith Murphy: Well, it’s up to Eminem. He’s the one that’s going to
have to face the big music. He’s the one who’s going to have to grow up
with Hailie.
Bill: You don’t think society should investigate this?
Keith Murphy: No, it’s not an investigation. He’s not torturing this
girl he’s not putting a gun up to her –
Bill: He’s corrupting the child. There’s a child abuse statute that
goes into corruption of a child. This song, if she was actually on the
song. You say you don’t know, but it looks like she is and the PR people
are saying she is, so I think it might fall under this statute.
Keith Murphy: I think we should worry about the words and things of
that nature instead of how Eminem is raising his child. I think the bigger
picture is there’s a group called 3-6 Mafia, a black rap group out of Memphis,
talking about violent behavior and things of that nature. The big reason
why we’re kind of looking at Eminem, so to speak, is because he’s white.
Bill: Not here. Maybe other places but not here.
Keith Murphy: I’ll tell you this much. They’re paying more attention
to him. There’s a microscope underneath his lyrics.
Bill: That’s because he gets on the Grammies with Elton John and all
that stuff.
Keith Murphy: It’s also because Susie in the suburbs has a picture of
him on her wall.
Bill: Maybe that’s so. But I’m not concerned about that. I’m concerned
with the microissue of the guy puts out the number one album in the America.
This says a lot about America. And it doesn’t say anything good about it
either. I’ll tell you that. On the album he’s got a 6-year-old girl who’s
participating in an obscene song. Ok? Then he’s got a song on the same
album that says I want to kill the little girl’s mother and I want the
little girl to help me do it. Over the line, Mr. Murphy. Over the line.
