   Hey, y'all have to recognize that I'm a man with a plan. True, they're not always the best-laid-out plans, but there's some thought that goes into my moves. So I saw an espisode of Cops said that in the state of Michigan you can get a mandatory year for each bullet if you don't have a concealed weapon license. My idiotic logic at the time was to never have more than three bullets in my gun. That way, if I got caught I figured I would only do three years. Eventually I did go and apply for that CCW. When the board asked me why I needed a gun, I said, "Well, I've already sold three million records..." Finally they approved me. All I had to do was take a safety course, which I started but never completed. Anyway, that's why I blame it all on Cops.
   嘿,你们都给我记住了,我是一个有计划的人。是的,它们并不总是最佳的计划,但是其中的某些想法会对我的行为产生影响。我看了一集Cops,一部以密歇根为背景的电视剧。那集里提到,在密歇根,如果你没有持有武器的证件, 每拥有一颗子弹你就要服一年兵役。那时候我的白痴逻辑是,我绝不在枪里放多于三颗的子弹。那样的话,如果我被抓,我以为,只要服3年兵役就行了。我最后还是去申请了CCW。委员会问我为什么要枪时,我说,“我已经卖了三百万的唱片了…”最终他们通过了我的申请。我所要做的就只是去上安全课程,我去上了,但到现在也没有上完。不管怎么说,都是Cops的错。

   So I went down to that parking lot with a gun and no bullets. Guns are bad(倾斜),I tell you. The whole thing ended with me being accused of pistol- whipping a man who was kissing my life. The thing was, that same weekend, I had a little scuffle with this guy who was working for some old enemies, the Detroit-based Clown Posse (ICP). That shit was not helping my cause, especially since there was a gun involved there too. I caught three felony charges in one weeken. And I was completely sober. No pills. Just passuion. Millions of people can relate to that crime-of-passion shit.
   我带着一把没有子弹的枪去了那个停车场。我告诉你,枪不是好东西。整件事以我被指控用手枪柄击打亲吻我的妻子的人告终。问题是,同一礼拜我和一个为我的旧敌Detroit-based Insane Clown Posse(ICP)工作的人小小地干了架。这对我的案子一点没有好处,尤其是其中同样牵涉到枪支。一星期之内我身负三项重罪指控。而且是在我完全清醒的情况下。没有嗑药。纯粹出于一时冲动。上百万的罪行都是出于一时冲动。

   It's not like I didn't have run-ins with the law before. The first time I got in trouble, it was just Proof and me and this other gu messing around. Sometimes we'd go out and bust out guns-- pintball(倾斜) guns-- at some random Detroit folk. We'd do it every Friday night, after putting it on at Saint Andrew's Hall. This was around 92'-- a great time for hip-hop, by the way-- before I got a record deal. I was 20. This one night we were basically driving around shooting paintballs from the car. I turned down the wrong street and we ended up near Wayne State University, where we ran into these white kids on skateboards. Proff snuck up behind one of them and shot him in the back of the head, like three times-- POW!POW!POW!--with the paint pellets. Now, at close range, those motherfuckers hurt! You know what I'm saying? But this kid acted like he was on acid or something. I mean, he didn't move, he didn't cover his head, he just kept skating. It was like some Twilight Zone. Next thing you know, there's fucking sirens, and five cop cars pull up.
   在此之前我就已经同法律打过交道。我第一次卷入事件是在我、Proof和另外一个人一起胡闹的时候。我们有时候会在街上拔出枪——彩弹枪——向底特律的行人肆意射击。我们每周五晚都这么做。我们会先在Saint Andrew’s Hall那里背上枪。那是在92年——顺便说一句,hip-hop的好时光——在我签约之前。我20岁。那晚我们开着车向外射击彩弹。我转错了弯,我们到了Wayne State University,在那里我们遇到了这些玩滑板的白人小孩。Proof偷偷溜到其中一人身后朝他的后脑勺开了三枪——砰!砰!砰!——彩弹。然后,由于是近距离,那些SB受伤了!你明白我说什么吗?但那个孩子好像是嗑药了或是别的。我的意思是,他没有移动,没有抱住头,他只是继续滑滑板。那有点像《阴阳魔界》{译者废话:《阴阳魔界》是一部美国电视剧,改编自著名同名小说。}。发生的下一件事,就TM是警笛声响,5辆警车停在面前。

   One particular cop kicked the shit out of us. He had me face-down on somebody's lawn, with cuffs on. Another one of the cops grabbed my earring and was like, "You like to wear earrings, huh, you little faggot? You little white boy?" I had these small hoops on, and he just ripped them out. He made proof eat grass, literally took grass and shoved it in his mouth. At some point this lady cop said somethinglike, "Uh, people have video cameras now." This was all happening right around Rodney King. Man, I wish somebody had taped it.
   其中的一个警察把我们打了个半死。他把我铐起来后,把我的脸摁在了某人的草坪上。另一个警察一把拉掉了我的耳环,说道,“你喜欢戴耳环吗,啊,你个小基佬?你个白人小鬼?”我身上穿了些小铁环,他硬生生把它们扯了下来。他还强迫Proof吃草,他真的拔出草塞进Proof的嘴里。过了些时候,有个女警察说了句类似“呃,现在人们有摄像机了。”的话。这件事就发生在Rodney King附近。天哪,我真希望有人把它录了下来。
{译者废话:下面是一则关于脾气与枪支的skit。}

    Eminem(痞子阿姆)是目前声名最盛的白人说唱歌手。说唱历来是黑人的天下,近墨者黑。Em早年还有个绰号M&M(巧克力糖),意指其“白皮黑心”。其奋斗史参见在下的翻译 <一 假公济私中
