Swift Terror 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 EMINEM has hired six former CIA men to protect him from gangland assassination attempts. The rapper is shadowed everywhere he goes by the former government agents and he wears a bulletproof vest whenever he’s not in the safety of his home or car. His former bodyguard BYRON WILLIAMS said he is terrified after becoming involved in a bitter war of words with fellow rapper JA RULE. Em put the team of ex-CIA security experts on the payroll last month — at a cost of £100,000 each — after the feud hotted up earlier this year. The highly-trained heavies are armed with Glock handguns and do safety sweeps of anywhere he’s going. They have also advised him to install an electric perimeter fence, CCTV cameras and motion sensors at his Detroit mansion. Byron used to guard the star when he first burst on the scene, but was replaced when it became clear it was more than a one-man job. Byron said: “I was with Eminem when we bought his first bullet vest. He wouldn’t be caught dead without it. Slim is frightened, his people are frightened. He is running against big league guys. “When hardcore gangsters say they’re gonna do something, they do it. And right now, they’re saying they want to kill Eminem.” The war of words has seen Eminem and Ja Rule exchange insults in their songs. Ja Rule branded Em’s mum a “crackhead” and his ex-wife a “sl*t”. Eminem responded in Doe Ray Me — which features his six-year-old daughter — by ridiculing Ja for being short. The rap world is infamous for gangland shootings. NOTORIOUS B.I.G. and TUPAC SHAKUR were both shot dead after a bitter feud. Last year JAM MASTER JAY was gunned down in a New York recording studio. And Eminem’s protege 50 CENT, who has been shot an incredible nine times, wore a bulletproof vest during his gig at Milton Keynes last month. So, who will be the first to pop Eminem--or will it be someone else who gets it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Em did mention that he undercover cops on his payroll on one of his ja disses. Em might be shooked because Murder Inc crew (minus Ja) did beat up Proof from D12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Eminem is such a pussy plain and simple. He pretends to be hardcore and crack on everyone but shits his pants because of Ja-Rule?? Next we'll hear he can't sleep at night in fear of Jermaine Dupri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ripper Report post Posted July 25, 2003 We should make it a point to take articles that say that a feud "Hotted up". It is from a fucking European tabloid for christsakes. Goes to show you that if a article is about someone you don't like, you will believe it no matter how absurb it would seem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted July 25, 2003 What's the source on this stuff? "Em put the team of ex-CIA security experts on the payroll last month — at a cost of £100,000 each — after the feud hotted up earlier this year." Hotted up? Sounds to me like a bullshit essay by some high school kid who doesn't know how to write. Plus, why should he fear Ja Rule? Ja's just a big a pussy as Em. Ja ain't gonna do shit. None of them are. It's all talk. It's wrestling. There is too much money at stake for both artists. This story is fake unless I get a source and if that source is revealed, they need to take an english course on how to write. Hotted up? That's embarassing.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 26, 2003 the simple fact that some rappers would want to KILL other rappers over dumbass musical feuds, is without a doubt the second or third stupidest thing in this world. A lot of these "feuds" have nothing to do with the music itself, In case of 50 and Ja...It started on the streets and the underground and the music has only given the two an larger medium to attack the other. The Music is an *part* of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 ALL of this is just plain bullshit. All eminem and ja rule are exchaning are words it's a beef, a battle if you will. As long as they keep it on wax and not have to resort to violence and try and kill one another for dissing each other. And that's all I gotta say about that.

Guest Narcoleptic Jumper Report post Posted July 26, 2003 The war of words has seen Eminem and Ja Rule exchange insults in their songs. Ja Rule branded Em’s mum a “crackhead” and his ex-wife a “sl*t”. That's amusing, considering that Eminem mentions KILLING his "mum" and his ex-wife countless times in his music.

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted July 27, 2003 Its fake drama between Ja and Em, 50 and Ja is legit hatred since they already fought twice. Ja and Irv are just wannabe's and fascinated on being gangsta's. Its messed up they jumped Proof over this bullshit. Em needs to just quit with all the tough talk because he ain't gangsta neither.

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 28, 2003 It's thug-a-nomics 101. Here's how it works. Rapper A says mean things about Rapper B -- young thugs buy A's album. Rapper B then says mean things about Rapper A -- young thugs buy B's album. Repeat a few more times if necessary. Rapper A and Rapper B then make up and do an album together -- young thugs by AB's album. Rapper A then starts a feud with Rapper C, and Rapper B starts a feud with Rapper D. Yo yo yo...

Guest Ripper Report post Posted July 28, 2003 You ~ RACIS.... wait...that's pretty accurate. Now take out the word thug everywhere and understand that battle rap is part of hip-hop, and allways has been. It is part of the art form. No rapper has ever been killed over a hip-hop battle no matter how much MTV wants to tell you the Biggie and Pac died because of one. I think that Eminem was fine with staying out of the 50/Ja beef until Ja starting bringing him into it. But Ja decided it would be a good idea to diss everyone when everyone can out rap him, so he ain't that bright. Eminem was dragged into this by A: Benzino and B: Irv knowing that more money could be made out of this if the hottest act in hip-hop was dissing his ONLY artist.

I think Ja is just looking for some press now that he aint selling like he use to. I agree Ja is taking the Benzino route tryin diss who's ever hot right now approach which happens to be Aftermath/Shady crew. It didn't help Benzino sell any records despite him ho-ing himself in his own magazine and dissing Em. By the way I think this story came from a british tabloid and interview Em's bitter ex bodyguard so believe what you want to believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted July 29, 2003 How about Eminem fearing attacks from self-respecting human beings with any form of musical taste... The fake feuding in rap is just stupid. Real artists actually write songs with depth and meaning, whereas these guys prefer to look 'cool' to teenagers. Are you a musician or not? Then focus on the damn music. I just shouldn't enter rap threads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just shouldn't enter rap threads... Yeah, you shouldn't because you don't know what you are talking about. Lyrically speaking, rap music is the most complicated music out there. If you listen to Nelly and try to typecast the entire genre then I can listen to the popiest country song and typecast country, listen to the crappiest band and typecast rock and so on and so forth. And fuck you for suggesting because I am a hip-hop fan I don't have any taste in music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PhantMan Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Eminem might be the very first white rapper to get into thug life. I use the term loosel since PAC was T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. for real, while Em, Ja and the others just pretend to be thugs while they're pussies. Em is just a cas of Whitey doin' anything he can to look like a brother. if he has got to be killed to feel part of DA HOOD, then so be it. Rap is just the same anyway. Black guys talk about bitchez, drivebys, mo money mo problemz and the kkk, same old racist shit. Em just talks about his bitch momma, his slut girlfriend... at least PAC could write something nice like Keep Ya Head Up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
