Eminem may poke fun at himself in videos, but he doesn’t want “Weird Al” Yankovic doing it. Eminem won’t give Yankovic permission to shoot a video for his new song, “Couch Potato,” a parody of Eminem’s Oscar-winning tune “Lose Yourself,” Yankovic said. “The only reason I could glean was that making a Weird Al music video would detract from his legacy as a serious hip-hop artist,” Yankovic said Thursday. “It’s very disappointing. This could have been my best video ever.”
Eminem Won’t Allow Weird Al Video
Yay, Al’s coming out with some new stuff at last. And Eminem is laughable as always.

I love eminem. He is a great artist. I liked Weird Al when I was really little….got old. His old stuff is okay, but everything from the past couple years is crap.
I haven’t heard any songs I’ve liked from Eminem, and all I’ve heard of him has been unappealing, so I can’t say I can agree that he’s much of an artist.
I still enjoy Al sometimes. He’s certainly not an amazing artist, but I do find his videos to be funny.
I find most people judge eminem on his popular songs…that they hear on much music or the radio, which pisses me off. People shouldn’t call themselves fans or not judging just on those songs, but of course people say they love eminem and only go by those, or vice versa…dah well. I mainly dislike the fact that most people see right through the messages he is trying to get across.
I have heard his albums, and even there I found nothing I felt had much depth.
I know a lot of his work is satire, but it doesn’t seem that skillful to me.
maybe you just didn’t listen close enough to the lyrics then….dah well
‘course, you’re the one who doesn’t like ani difranco, despite her excellent lyrics š
ha…lol…her voice is too horrible..i’m sorry but it makes me want to gag listening..some of her lyrics are okay, but most of them are nothing special at all…
eh, you probaly jsut havn’t listened to them close enough. which i guess would be hard if you were busy gagging š
i actually looked up the lyrics to her songs, so yes I have listening. She is just too hard to actually listen to physically. Voice lessons wouldn’t hurt.
i don’t see it, but whatever. there’s no way to argue over it.
