    Just How Far Would You Go to Reach Eminem?

    http://sohh.com/articles/article.php/11753

    An aspiring Canadian rapper reportedly earned a visit from local authorities and a call from Detroit police for stealing the cell phone of Eminem's ex wife, and dialing the multi-platinum rapper.

    According to Canada's Windsor Star, Kyle Spratt, 18, of Windsor, Ontario snatched Kim Mathers' phone at a Windsor bingo hall, where he worked, while she was outside smoking. Spratt would then call Eminem on her phone asking him to listen to his demo track.

    "He was a real (expletive)," Spratt told The Star. "He pretended it wasn't him and he did a fake voice."

    Spratt would then receive a call from Detroit police telling him to stop harassing Eminem.

    Frustrated with the cold reception he received from his idol, Spratt, who recorded the conversations he had with both the Detroit police officer and Eminem, sampled them in a song titled "Slim Sellout" attacking the rapper.

    "I was a huge Em fan growing up," Spratt explained." Now, it's like, (expletive) him."

    Spratt posted the song on his MySpace page and received 1,400 hits in two days. The link to the song was removed from Spratt's website on Wednesday (May 30) and Windsor police paid the jilted rapper a visit.

    According to Windsor police Inspector Greg Renaud, Detroit police contacted them saying that Spratt told Kim Mathers that if he wasn't going to get some promotion from Eminem, "he was going to post the photos of [their] children on the web."

    Spratt told The Star that the police checked his computer but didn't find any photos. He also claims that Kim Mathers misread one of the text messages he had sent her.

    "I was text messaging back and forth with Kim Mathers and she was being pretty rude to me, so I said something to the effect of, 'wait until I get a hold of paparazzi,'" Spratt explained. "But, like, I was just trying to get her going. It did get her going. She assumed that I took pictures off her phone, which I did not."

    "They said that Kim thinks that I'm going to put out pictures of her kids that were on the phone, which is not true," he stressed. "Kim was just doing that to stir the pot."

    Renaud said the Mathers family will not be pressing charges because Spratt has already paid for his crime by losing his job at the bingo hall.
    I found his MySpace page, but I'm not going to post it for three reasons:

    1. "Slim Sellout" is no longer on the page. EDIT: I did, however, find it on another of his my space page.

    2. His rhymes are P.A.

    3. His rhymes suck royally. He should quit, seriously (Edit: However, his "Slim Sellout" was pretty damn funny).

    Just post it, nobody takes rap too seriously anyways, not even most of the people that exclusively listen to just rap music.


    Bah! I can't find it.

        I love the old school gangster rap. All the nasty, violent stuff by Easy-E, Too Short, Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the like. When they're rappin' about hoes, 40s, guns, fancy cars, and poppin' either some punk or some cops in the head, I am at ease.

          Kyle has a blog called "Slim Sellout" in the first link. It leads to the second link, I promise. Hope I could help you out, Terr.

            Man, that was really well done.

            His other rhymes are crap though. I think this one was good because it had heart. Without that, rap is usually ****ty.

              I agree. It has that gritty tone reminiscent of "Kill You" on the MM LP.

              Found another article. Dude was bragging out it on some forum, and everyone pounced on him.

                I remember hearing about this, when I was reading a blog about how T-Pain said Ray-J had a big jock. Funny stuff, lol.

                        I don't understand how a person can be ****** that someone is ****** at them for stealing a cell and then harassing them out of the blue. Did he really think that Eminem would be all happy that this guy stole a cell phone? Seriously.

                            Z is so much superior... it makes X and Y look like W.
