The Source vs. Eminem: hear the track and judge for yourself and CBS is at it again 

Eminem "Foolish Pride": foolish youthful folly or evidence that Em's a racist like The Source magazine claims? Judge for yourself by clicking here (Source: Soundclick) although the link may be down by time you read this. I'm not sure either way but do know that if someone had played me this track back in '93 when it was recorded, there's no way I would have predicted this kid would go on to become one of the top MC's in the game and, possibly, the biggest artist on the planet.
