Scene from Mathers' Upcoming Movie, "8 actors Mile," Directed by Curtis Hanson, with actors Kim Basinger as Marshall's Mom With this work, Marshall Mathers has rekindled the Romeo and Juliet love affair between white American youth and black America. Like Elvis before him (and he's more politically conscious than Presley, who, after all, was no songwriter or poet), Mathers rips down the color wall - it's the economy wall, stupid! - that the Orwellian official discourse of a self-proclaimed "multi-cultural" society has carefully rebuilt in recent years, one credit-card at a time. He scratches the skin of the young white American and finds our secret black soul intact, awakened, pissed off, and back with a vengeance. But I am late, oh so late, two or three years late, to the Eminem bandwagon, because I've been out of the loop, livin' la vida expatriate "from somewhere in a country called América," that is, the América with an accent. A year ago, a very nice white girl named Mim Udovitch rescued me from a billionaire narco-banker's lawsuit by writing a very nice profile about me for Rolling Stone.
