Eminem Explains His Disses Of Moby & Chris Kirkpatrick In 'Without Me'

NEW YORK (Top 40 Charts) - Wondering why Eminem singles out 'NSync 's Chris Kirkpatrick and Moby in his new song, "Without Me," from his forthcoming The Eminem Show?

The rapper told MTV's Total Request Live on Thursday (May 2) during the premiere of the video that it's because Kirkpatrick was the only boy band member who had the guts to say something back to him, after the rapper attacked the group and boy bands in general on his last album.

On why he attacks Moby in the song and video, Em sarcastically told TRL that he liked Moby, but feels bad that no one else does. The Moby attack is an obvious retaliation to the techno king's comments following the 2001 GRAMMY® Awards when he said the rapper was "very clever, but he's also a misogynist, a homophobe, a racist, and an anti-Semite".

The video depicts Kirkpatrick, Moby (practicing yoga), and Eminem as Osama bin Laden, along with an appearance from producer Dr. Dre.

The Eminem Show is due June 4 on Interscope with a bonus limited edition DVD. The DVD will be included in the first 2 million copies of the album in the U.S. and first million internationally, and includes the trailer to Eminem's Imagine/Universal film, 8 Mile. The movie is due Nov. 8

i like eminem.. but i like moby better. now i don't like eminem at all. he's just a whiner. just listen to his first cd. he's singing about 'if he had a million dollars' and all that shit. how he couldn't barely make ends meet before he became a professional rapper. he's just not smart enough to be anything else. he's very lucky that dr. dre had made him what he is today.
Carson05/Jul/2002 16:21:15
You liked Eminem BEFORE, after the lyrics he's written, and now you don't because he dissed Moby? Not to mention the fact that you're flaming his first CD, but you claim to have liked him before. So, when exactly was it that you did like him?

Also, you don't have to be smart to make millions in this country. All you have to do is have a little talent, and be catchy. Eminem is catchy. Also, people who claim to dislike him continue to support him, and talk about him. You're doing the exact thing he talks about.

Eminem is just a product like most of the other famous american music groups, i can't believe that you's are taking him so seriously...
lazarus09/Jul/2002 16:29:50
eminem has more talent than any boyband members combined. he writes his own lyrics. although his subject matter might night please everyone he is very good at what he does. you can't deny that. if he is as bad as everyone makes him out to be why is he so sucessful?
Emilio09/Jul/2002 17:32:49
I AGREE THAT EMINEM IS JUST A FASHION PRODUCT LIKE A BOY BAND, THAT'S WHY BECAUSE THE RAP IS SELLING ACTUALLY.
LIKE NELLY AND ASHANTI.

Chris Kirkpatrick is a ball licking FAG, pussy ass byyaatch! And Moby is worse than that. All u have to do is watch his MTV CRIBS...Hes a fukin retard!! Eminem is the SHIT!! Cant nobody touch him.....or his style! Anyone who doesnt recognize his skillz should be shot!
Kirby Wallace31/Jul/2002 18:52:07
Eminem is talented enough and smart enough to know that the mere mention of someone in one of his songs is something of an honor in its own (weird) way. So simply saying "Chris, you could get your ass kicked" is not necessarily meant to be taken as a threat. He said as much himself in the interview... [Chris] was the only guy with the guts enough to talk back.

Personally, I'd think it an honor if Eminem threatened to kick my ass on national TV. Delivery might be a bit of a problem, though... ;-)

Calling people out on his songs is what makes Eminem the bad ass he is. He is not afraid to say whatever he wants, which is more than I can say for a lot of other people. If he has something to say, he says it. As for the thing with Moby, Em also has the right to defend himself. If Moby is talking shit, then Eminem certainly has the right to talk shit back. Chris K? Well, ask yourself this...Would you claim to like him?...I didn't think so.

Hey People,
i agree with lazaurus he is alot better then any boyband(they sound like girls well most of them)
LUV **Snow**

Eminem has more talent then anyone he's ever attacked. Dre is smarter then he appears. *s*
Hello30/Aug/2002 12:45:04
Moby is pu$$y. End of story.
Josh31/Aug/2002 11:07:38
I think that Eminem has a lot o ftalent and moby is Just a prick. Em is the reigning King of HJip HOp. IF you don't like it then you can suck his fucking cock
Rusty01/Sep/2002 21:40:37
English is a great language. Is it too much for people on the internet to use it correctly?

Whatever. Comments like "Moby is pu$$y" and "Hes a fukin retard" are completely uncalled for because he is *so* much smarter than you or I could ever hope to be, and he is generally a peaceful person. Moby's comments were not made maliciously, but rather in reaction to Eminem's hateful, often violent lyrics.

I won't deny that Eminem is talented, but I will say that I'm just not a fan, either of his music or of his behavior. It's time for him to grow up.
Erica02/Sep/2002 09:42:43
All right don't wanna enter this debate but hey:Josh or Hello how old r u???Not over 14 I guess (and hope).And ain't you all so bloodly serious about Eminem! I like some of his songs (cleanin out my closet is for me a great song) even if I like Moby and even if I have many gay friends.
Bashtard15/Sep/2002 13:14:18
Rusty,
Internet is spelled with a capital 'i' :)

Really folks.... who cares?

I love it when people with absolutely nothing else to do but complain, log into forums such as this one and write junk.

Then you ask.... "Bashtard, aren't you doing the same?" :p

Eminem, Moby and Kirkpatrick all do their jobs. Provide entertainment to the millions of people who are willing to listen and/or write about it on the Internet.
Killer20/Sep/2002 09:05:07
Well Moby is talented and so is Eminem.

Yet if you want to research it you'll find that Eminem is talented at rap. Which is impressive because he is white. Also he is good at being funny and controversial.

the end.

Moby is talented at electronic music as well as being able to play the guitar (well!) and sing and writes his own music also. His talents cover more than just one genre. Listen to the cd Everything is Wrong and you'll see what I mean.

Those f uckwits that think moby is a Pu$$y should listen to his Animal Rights album and shut the f uck up.

Eminem has gotten where he is by being controversial and upsetting people. Moby has got where he is because he is actually talented and his music is good to listen to.

the end.
shady10/Oct/2002 22:40:20
moby has talent? dam how do fagets like moby get on tv anyways? it seems like they let anyone on tv these days. Em is a good rapper and moby shouldnt even be in the same sentence as Eminem.
Andres Mendizabal03/Dec/2002 18:26:13
Eminem has style, he's hip, and he can rap. Why wouldn't you like him? Duh!
ICPFAN04/Dec/2002 05:43:51
All of them are fags.Eminem cant rap and his fan club is probably made up of two year old boy and girls.He has no future.N*suck can all jump into a fucking river one after another.
will05/Jan/2003 21:05:16
Boys and girls... let's all chill out. Eminem is great at what he does and has a lot of talent. But some of his stuff is just over the top. Take 'Kym' for instance. Can't say I know much about Moby or his music but he's got to be quite talented to get to the level he's at in any case . Eminem disses him to sell records and it works. End of story. Nothing to get all hyped up about.
Eminem20/Feb/2003 18:36:24
I am EMINEM!!(No Joke)
For all the fags that talk shit about me,
Open their mouths and smile with glee,
I'm gonna stick my dick in it,
I hope it's gonna fit,
You mad cuz you gay,
Cuz you can't rap the way,
I do it, You Stupid!
joanne19/May/2003 09:42:45
course you are darling
UFO202021/Jul/2003 01:02:26
lol, you can't take Eminem seriously. He has even dissed Dr. Dre in his songs. You guys should know by now that he's just messin' with people. I bet Chris K's popularity went way up after Eminem singled him out from his boy band group. It's all in good fun.

Eminem and homofobia

"Kill You":

"You faggots keep eggin me ontil I have you
at knifepoint, then you beg me to stop?
SHUT UP! Give me your hands and feet
I said SHUT UP when I'm talkin to you
YOU HEAR ME? ANSWER ME!"

From "Marshall Mathers":

"New Kids on the Block, sucked a lot of dick
Boy/girl groups make me sick
And I can't wait 'til I catch all you faggots in public
I'ma love it.. (hahaha)
....
Plus I was put here to put fear in faggots who spray Faygo Root Beer
and call themselves "Clowns" cause they look queer Faggot2Dope and Silent Gay
"Slim Anus," you damn right, Slim Anus
I don't get fucked in mine like you two little flaming faggots!

From "Criminal"

My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That'll stab you in the head whether you're a fag or lez
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress
- hate fags? The answer's "yes"
Homophobic? Nah, you're just heterophobic
Starin at my jeans, watchin my genitals bulgin (Ooh!)
That's my motherfuckin balls, you'd better let go of em
They belong in my scrotum, you'll never get hold of em
Hey, it's me, Versace
Whoops, somebody shot me!
And I was just checkin the mail
Get it? Checkin the 'male'?
