Eminem's Grandma Betty On His Childhood & Relationships - 2001 Interview

[WZKmontage]

I wonder what his dad looks like

[sk8ervzla]

I feel bad for listening to this. It's not even my business.

[twister10002000]

@sk8ervzla i know right

[klash55]

They forgot to add the Re-Up album on the bottom

[gordonman7]

People need to realize just because he makes some gay jokes does not make him homophobic. He has preformed with an out-of-the-closed gay man (Elton John) and even said he supports gay marriage in an interview. Making a gay joke does not by any means make you a homophobe. I'm bisexual and I crack gay jokes. There's a massive difference between a joke and a loathing of a certain set of people

[roxanna466]

@gordonman7 true but he still shuldn't say shit about gays but since he had bad experiences w/ sum gay fans, he probably was mad & said anything. but U know him he's always saying shit about people. l don't agree w/ him but sumtimes he's really stressed. He dozn't hate gays but wen he has bad experiences w/ people he says everything 2 offend them cuz of it. l don't like most of his songs. He's had shit happen 2 him & he's mad about that so rapping about it makes him feel better.

[gordonman7]

@roxanna466 I don't really buy her story about the gay fan, but either way people need to lighten up and get a sense of humor. He just says shit to piss people off half the time and the other half is just him being goofy. If people wouldn't get pissed over the things he said, he wouldn't say it. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[AlizeCiz]

@gordonman7 her story was true ems bodyguard mentioned it in his book. em being a sexist/homophobe was clearly just a gimmick to sell records though

[DrizzysShadyBarbie]

@AMathers17MMathers He was too upset to go,, Ronnie and him were wicked close and it was too much for him. His mom said she wished em died instead of Ronnie. Which made things worse

[DrizzysShadyBarbie]

This interview seems like it's some major bullshit she pulled out of her ass

[shady4308]

Some of the stuff she said..i dont think its true I have his book and hes said in his songs and interviews he's NEVER seen his dad and he NEVER wants to! I didnt know that kim & Em lived together..I thought they just went to the same high school and became sweethearts..plus he lived with kim after hailie was born they lived in kims attic he said it in his book..IDK I dont believe everything

[AMathers17MMathers]

eminem wasnt aloud to go to ronnies funeral ?

[xJonasMockingbird]

@AMathers17MMathers no he was. but he couldnt go, it was too painful for him.

[Sitx1996]

He has had a really hard life. He works so hard on his music and he deserves every little piece of what he has now. But I don't know what to believe in this interview (about him wanting to see his dad)

[iTzRiNicholas]

This ladies bullshitting haha he has never wanted to see his dad

[xJonasMockingbird]

@iTzRiNicholas His dad never tried to get in touch with him, even though he was in touch with other family members. that's why he hated his dad, and didnt wanna see him.

EMINEM 4 LIFE

[eminemredone]

She sounds pretty nice and now what happened to her daughter

[jadylxlxlx]

@TheHarry123 I'd love to come up with a witty comeback but alas I can't. I'm blinded by your ability to spell. The granny annoyed me a little. But I'm over it.

[PlannedObsolescence]

"And Marshall, I think, was seeing someone else, too; I remember some heavy-set girl that I went up to Michigan and was introduced to when they lived in St. Clair Shores."

[EmFanMAX]

i can the interviewer breath

[jadylxlxlx]

Bitch needs to shut up.

[TheHarry132]

@jadylxlxlx why should she huh you motha fucka she's talking about the rapper eminme you gay motha why u on this video if u want her to stfu

[Lebbz]

Nah I've got an aunt just like Em's Granny and though she hasn't gone on public radio to talk about my shit she is a straight shooter with a lot of love. You can tell she really loves Em and even admits he's mad at her but still supports him. And from what i've read he's said she always been loyal to him.

[kalel475]

what year is this from?

[Airmax721]

@kalel475 read the title of the video

[RedLifeBenfica]

eminem was a king, still king, amazing talent, genuine, inovative, amazing, my words aint enough, no one makes songs like eminem, like shady used to do. im a huge eminem fan, but shadys time is gone, thanks god i kept all those cds i listen to it almost every day.

[MeTheIsh]

They way she talks, she just sounds like one of those family members that tells everyone all your damn buisness and can't ever keep a secret. But yeah I really dont think he's homophobic or ever was he just played into it then.

[bootlessbutt22]

@MeTheIsh Kinda like eminem right?? He's the one who "CLEANED HIS CLOSET" out in public, so please stop dickriding eminem and get a life

[MeTheIsh]

@bootlessbutt22 Im not dickriding him. He's never said anything bad about this woman just his mom and his ex. Im sticking to my statement.

[AtheistMovement]

That album is a masterpiece and it's amazing how people even today do no understand it. It's no different than what a comedian does. Plays the role of public villain to ruffle the feathers of the ignorant. Get a brain.

[AtheistMovement]

So then he indulged in character and became whatever people said he was. Hence "I AM, WHATEVER, YOUUUU SAYYY III AAAMMM". It's not difficult to grasp.

That's what 'The Marshall Mathers LP' is. That's the entire concept.

That's why he's so aggressive and unforgiving and psychotic and intentionally homophobic on it. Because he's BECOMING all of the criticisms thrown at him. If you call him an asshole, he'll be an asshole, a prick? he'll be a prick - all to the nth degree...

[AtheistMovement]

Pretty heartbreaking when she can't speak at the end.

Anyway, in regards to him being homophobic... anybody who understands Em or has from day one knows and always has known he's not homophobic.

Maybe the gay fan thing is true but that has nothing to do with it.

He made a jokey gay JOKE (he also jokes about his own life, his mother, and EVERYBODY fucking else) on "My Name Is" and people therefore thought he was anti-gay...

[Bluemoonusawme]

She sounds genuine.

[Cuishi10]

"the school was segragated, you know"? Did she just use the word segregated? You don't think she dislikes black people because of the shit that happened to him do you. OMG! I hope not...

[rubbersquish]

an i heard about your uncle ronny too , im sorry . i had a friend kill hiself over some bith who dint wan him

[lbszzipper]

@rubbersquish lol me 2
