For the interview, the rapper will return to his Detroit roots to take a trip down memory lane. He will discuss his past history with drugs, the issue of race in his career as a lone white rapper, and the constant controversies surrounding his heated lyrics filled with anti-gay slurs and depictions of violence against women.
The 37-year-old rap artist will also give viewers a glimpse into his creative process and his love of words.
However, in a special preview released by CBS, its seems one of the most water-cooler worthy moments may be a brief glimpse into Eminem's parenting. Specifically, the no cursing rule everyone must abide by under his roof.
As a father (his daughter Hailie is 14; he is also raising his ex-wife Kim's daughter Whitney and his sister's daughter Lainey), Eminem states:
“I mean, how would I really sound, as a person…walking around my house [saying] ‘Bitch, pick this up…”Is it endearing to hear that Eminem has enough common sense or heart to not swear around the kids in his home? Or does it seem contradictory of him, seeing as the rapper brings venomous lyrics brimming with obscenities into the homes of young people across the globe? His music is targeted to adults and typically contains an "Explicit Content" warning, so maybe the fact that children listen to Em's music isn't his fault. Instead, should the blame for that lie with parents? If so, it is ironic that the rapper's daughter can't listen to him swear but other people's kids pay to listen to it?
