When you think of hip-hop music, you right away think of Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady, aka B Rabbit, aka EMINEM. He is easily one of the best hip-hop artists with so many accolades one cannot keep track. The guy has won an Oscar for his debut film 8 Mile which is now considered a classic. Over the years, he has had many BEEFS with several artists and otherwise. However, two controversial fights that made his career were with his wife Kim, and his mother Debbie Mathers. However, the ‘Godzilla’ rapper has matured his relationships over time and now condemns his own songs which he made in bad taste. While he slams his own creation, he also mentions that he was angry at the time and maybe for all the right reasons.
Eminem has dissed his mother Debbie in a bunch of tracks. Well, when we think of such tracks we are reminded of Without Me, My Mom, and Cleaning Out My Closet. While at the time these tracks were a huge hit, Em has come to hate his own work. That’s because he does not bare the same hatred for his mother anymore. He addresses his anger toward his mother in a song called Headlights which is from his album The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The track also features Nate Ruess.

Even in the video which was later released, Eminem is seen making peace with his mother who is played by an anonymous woman. Eminem further continues to slam his own music rapping:
Eminem’s controversial lyrics
The rapper ends the track by saying that he loves his mother and always will. Eminem sings his heart out in the highly questionable song called ‘Cleanin’ Out My Closet’. At the time his relationship with his mother was strained. Some might even say it was beyond repair. While the two seem to have made their peace over the years, Em slams his lyrics in the song. He writes:
