As many people are already well-aware of, Eminem and The Source magazine have had an ongoing rapping rumble going on in the ring. Released to the public as of last week, Source took the liberty in slinging mud at Eminem, insisting that he was a racist. In the cover story, "Eminem: Cleaning Out My White American Closet" the upcoming month's issue also includes a CD given by Benzino which consists of two tracks by Eminem and giving a couple snippets, which are claimed to have proof of his racist lyrics.
Retaliating, Eminem busted back in a untitled freestyle on the Green Lantern mixtape - Invasion Part Three: Countdown to Armageddon. In the song, he makes an attempt, not necessarily to bring justice to his past, but moreover, he tries to get over it.

The lyrics are as followed:

"Oh, sorry, yo so sorry, whoa/ But that was a long time ago/ When I was a Joe Schmo/ Rapping in Joe Blow's basement/ I apologized for it before, so/ Either accept it or you don't/ And let's move on/ If I ain't shown that I've grown/ You can get the bone." Later, he says, "Word on my daughter, I told ya/ That I love this culture/ Don't let 'em insult ya/ I'mma tell you once more again/ This is the environment I was brought up in."

Eminem sticks to his envrionment by getting his share of comebacks too. Using his lyrical wit, he disses the owners of the Source magazine with lyrics like -

"I got a riddle/ What's little and talks big/ With midget arms and creamy filling in the middle?/ That will do anything to throw dirt on my name?/ Even if it means walking the whole Mediterranean?/ Isn't it Albanian? Armenian? Iranian? Tasmanian?/ No it's Dave, Raymond and a ho'."

Eminem goes further than rapping though. In the March issue of XXL, Eminem discusses each point of his rival magazine, including the time of the mixtape, to his business with Dre and 50. So watch out for that!
