Moby has responded to Eminem's recent diss on his website - www.moby.com. Eminem apparently raps about Moby on his forthcoming single, 'Without Me' and dresses as him in the video. Check out www.moby.com web site for daily updates from Moby. "i'm so amused... apparently eminem disses me on his new single. i haven't heard it yet, but i do think it's very funny that he's singled me out as an object of his scorn. the weird thing is that i actually do think that eminem has skills as an mc, but it disturbs me that he glorifies homophobia and misogyny in his songs, especially seeing as his listeners are, for the most part, very impressionable 10 year old boys. oh well. i'm honored to have received my first celebrity diss. well, first celebrity musical-diss. i won't be dissing him back(given the fact that MY skills as an mc are terrible, almost as bad as homer simpsons, ok, worse), but i will say, as i said before, that musicians need to assume a certain aritistic responsibility when their fan base is very, very young. a 30 year old listening to an eminem song that glorifies misogyny and homophobia is going to interpret the lyrics a lot differently than a 10 year old listening to the same song. from my perspective any music that glorifies abuse, misogyny, homophobia or racism is disturbing, but especially so when its targeted to fan base of 10 year old boys. but anyway, if your reading this eminem, thanks for the diss. really, i mean it. and no hard feelings from me. -moby p.s-and was anyone else amused when that 'radio don't even play my jams' song was on the radio 30 times a day?"
