WBm IV Thursday, June 13, 2002 AGGIELIFI THE BATTALION On May 28, Eminem released his new album entitled The Eminem Show. The talented artist has sold over 1.3 million copies in just over a week. On this newest effort, it seems as if he is not worried about topping the sales of his past albums, only improving the rhymes in his lyrics. Eminem expresses his insecurities and gives his listeners a sense of understanding his crazy life. Even though Eminem enjoys keeping his mystique, he is fearless in exposing his insecuri ties about his height, skin color and sanity. Eminem begins his album with the opening song “White America,” which sums up the artist’s feelings on how his skin color is the result of his renowned popularity and the reason his lyrics are scrutinized by critics. In the song, Eminem makes the statement, “I could be one of your kids,” to refer to the reason critics denounce his lyrics. Eminem believes parents do not like his lyrics because it could be their children say ing or feeling the same things he says. On track 14, “Hailie’s Song,” the rapper experiments with his vocals by singing which adds a new twist to his album. In the song, Eminem expresses his fear of losing his daugh ter. By revealing his fears, Eminem exposes himself to his fans, which undoubtedly shows his maturity. In his album, the misunderstood rhyming guru refers to himself by his given name, Marshall Mathers. He feels as if his fans only know him as the rapper, Eminem, and that the fans are clueless about who Marshall Mathers really is.

D.C., couple is suing the Hard Rock Hotel and MTV, claiming invasion of priva cy during a reality TV show prank. James and Laurie Ryan are suing the Las Vegas resort and the network for $10 million over the TV series “Harassment.” Their case was moved early this month from Superior Court in Los Angeles to federal court in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit said the couple believed they were going to be spending a vacation at the hotel in January. Instead, the Ryans were given a room with hidden cameras that captured their shock as they discovered what appeared to be a mutilated corpse in the bathroom. When they tried to leave the room, two actors posing as security guards forced them back inside until Ashton Kutcher, the show’s host and co-producer, emerged to reveal the gag. Kutcher has described the show in interviews as a “Guerrilla Candid Camera.” The complaint alleged inva sion of privacy, fraud and infliction of emotional distress. The Ryans' Washington, D.C., attorney, Dan Rozansky, expects the case to go to trial sometime next year. Don Marrandino, Hard Rock’s president, said Monday he hadn’t seen a copy of the lawsuit.
