BET Pulls Eminem Video
By Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur, BET.com Staff Writer

Posted October 12, 2004-- Eminem’s antics are creating controversy once again and now BET is pulling the rapper’s video “Just Lose It” from rotation.

In the video, Eminem parodies Jackson’s various exploits including poking fun at his infamous 1984 hair burning incident, his cosmetic surgery and his child molestation case. The Detroit lyricist also imitates Madonna and MC Hammer in the clip.

"BET has pulled the Eminem video out of rotation effective immediately. We did so out of respect for our long-standing relationship with Michael Jackson that dates back more than a decade, including Michael's induction as the first BET WALK OF FAME honoree in 1995. This action was a collective management decision by BET executives" BET said in a statement.

Eminem portrays Jackson in bed with several kids rapping: “Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who’s back with a brand new rap? And I don’t mean rap, as in a case of child molestation.”

Since it first aired on MTV and BET, the self-proclaimed King of Pop has demanded it be pulled from rotation. Still Michael Jackson is not the only one offended by the video, as Steve Harvey has urged folks to revoke Eminem’s “ghetto pass.”

From his Los Angeles morning show at 100.3, Harvey fumed, "Eminem has lost his ghetto pass. We want the pass back. You [Eminem] apologized about the comments you made before about us being ni**ers and calling black women b***hes, but we don't want your apology now."

"I never had a problem with Eminem,” Jackson said during The Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Jackson’s publicist, Ramone Bain, told The New York Daily News that "Just Lose It" is "disrespectful" and "offensive."

“It's one thing to spoof someone; it's another to be completely insensitive and disrespectful,'' said Bain, who noted that, contrary to reports, Jackson is not planning to sue the rapper.

Jackson isn’t the only star feeling disrespected. Pop icon MC Hammer is reportedly writing a Eminem dis record to be released shortly.

Unbelievable, we'll give you a free pass for the N word but dissing Michael Jackson, that's just too much. What's wrong in American when people can't rip Michael Jackson?
 
When did eminem ever use the N word? I do remember when he said black women were just gold diggers in an old record that was dug up, but I don't remember anything about the N word, he has even said he won't use it.

You know what offends me just slightly more than a white guy that uses the N word? A Child Molester!

Apparently for BET blackness or former blackness comes before anything else.
