You might hate him and his music. You might want to diss Eminem. You got the right to.
But dont allow yourself the right to diss Hailie Jade, because this is something Eminem will never forgive you. Moreover, this is something you may deeply regret: you may find yourself ridiculed on a record through Hailies voice. This is exactly what happened to Ja Rule and it may happen to you if you dont keep your mouth shut:
“My daughter is the closest thing to my heart. You say something about my daughter, then theres no boundaries, everything is open, and Hailie might come on the record and diss you, too. So dont fuck with me when it comes to my daughter. (Eminem, Rolling Stone Interview, June 2004)
Thats how the song Doe Ray Me made Ja Rule look ridiculous in front of the whole world.
Dont confuse Marshall Mathers with some artificial pop star who fakes his feelings towards his entourage. Marshall wasnt raised in a glamourous way of life. He has known his part of trouble and struggles in life. His fans know him for sharing his deepest emotions with him.
Eminems feelings for Hailie are authentic.
When he says: I’d give my life my life for my little girl…, I perfectly know that it is a 100% true.
It is also moving to listen to him when he talks about his kid growing up:
It’s the greatest feeling in the world to watch your seed grow, to watch a life that you created look at the world with another set of your eyes. It also hurts to know that one day she’s going to grow up and be out of the house. But thats what we’re here for, to create more life, I guess.”
While he was facing Court charges for carrying a concealed weapon, Eminems worst fear was to be separated from Hailie:
When I thought I was going to jail…..the scariest thought was, ‘How am I going to tell this to Hailie?’ What am I going to say – ‘Daddy’s going away and he’s been bad, and you have to come and visit him in jail.’ I never told her anything, because if the was a slim chance that I’d get off, then I didn’t want to put her through that emotionally – being scared. She hates it when I go away, anytime.
Eminems love for Hailie is fully expressed in Hailies Song:
“I really dumped my feelings out in Hailie’s Song. I love my little girl enough to sing to her”
Eminem is a sensitive man, a caring father who wants to share his love for his little girl with the whole world. When you truly love somebody, you want the whole world to know how you feel and share your positive feelings with everybody. Thats exactly how Marshall feels about Hailie:
I love her so much that I cant hide the emotion., so its gonna come through my music and Im gonna say her name just to let the world know how much I feel for her. (Eminem, Rolling Stone, June 2004)I
t is a matter of fact Hailie has been a real sunshine in Marshalls life. She has increased his motivation to make something of his life. She has helped him to slow down: Eminem was much more impulsive in his past and some of his mistakes could have cost him a lot.
As Kuniva points it out, Eminem matured a lot thanks to Hailie:
Having a child is gonna make you calm down. Watching that child grow and become something, its gotta mellow you out. If it wasnt for his daughter, hed probably be locked up by now.
Eminem is the author of many sarcasms in his songs. But he never jokes when it comes to his feelings for his little daughter which is something that even his enemies should respect. Why? Because many of them are family men too who perfectly know what a kid represents in a dad or a moms eyes.
