I need some inconsistency

An amalgamation of content: the aim not to politicise, but exercise. I'll think aloud about politics, technology, current news, as well as being a gay boy and what that really entails.

Judge in the States give ruling in rap

A judge in the states gave her ruling regarding a case brought by a former schoolmate of Eminem that accused the rapper of defamation within the lyrics of his song 'Brain Damage'. The lyrics in the song mentioned included the lines:
"I was harassed daily by this fat kid named DeAngelo Bailey. An eighth-grader who acted obnoxious, 'cause his father boxes. So every day he'd shove me into the lockers."
In her dismissal of the case brought in Mount Clemens, Michigan, Judge Deborah Servitto concluded:

"Mr. Bailey complains that his rap is trash,

so he's seeking compensation in the form of cash.

Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain,

because Eminem used his name in vain.

The lyrics are stories no one would take as fact,

they're an exaggeration of a childish act.

It is therefore this court's ultimate position,

that Eminem is entitled to summary disposition."
