I haven't listened to this jabroni since the early 2000s, but I did download and watch that documentary he co-produced with LeBron James recently (which basically means nothing, as we all know),
How Music Got Free. It's got some choice footage of him whining about the big bad pirates stealing from him, how he did all that work "for nothing", how he's gotta pay his engineers, etc. Also included is more footage from spoiled rappers who deserve nothing, utterly repellant industry ghouls like Jimmy Iovine, and the insane undeserved excesses of the industry at the time. On the other side, interviews with some of the actual pirates, some of which are based. One of the biggest ones, if not the biggest, was a black guy from Shalby, NC who worked at hte Universal Records pressing plant, who would smuggle out CDs with co-workers and taught himself to rip mp3s in the 90s and got involved in scene groups. Based poor Southerners almost ruining the Jews and their dancing monkeys.
Shelby's footage is full of calculated poverty porn, and only shows black citizens despite being a 50% White town. Decent doc other than blatant shit like that, and the ending, which is basically, comically, "le streaming is LE GOOD!" Worth watching for rich rappers like Eminem whining, if nothing else.
Have a screencap of Eminem on MTV throwing a tantrum about the Internet and pirates, petulantly throwing a copy of The Eminem Show onto the road, a record they pushed a release date forward on, to try and beat the pirates.
And probably the most based moment in the whole thing.
