Foolish Pride, which was reportedly recorded in 1998, and another song with racist lyrics released in 1993, were uncovered back in 2003 by The Source, with owners Ray Benzino and Dave Mays holding a press conference to play the recordings.
Enimem released a statement shortly thereafter, apologizing for the lyrics, stating he made that record after breaking up with an African-American girlfriend.
'The tape ... was something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today,' Eminem said in his apology back in 2003.
