What Is The Song The FM Host Know Every Lyric To?
Kemp was then asked in the interview, ‘The Song I inexplicably know every lyric to’? He answered, “Eminem”, I know it’s not a song but he is down with all the songs of Eminem. “I’m Back by Eminem. My mum actually bought The Marshall Mathers LP for me when I was six or seven,” he said.
“At the time Eminem was being targeted by everyone – the media, the police – and he decided to come back with a record that was just as offensive, and just as personal to him. Of course it’s inappropriate for a child – but my mum always had this amazing outlook on music as a way of expressing emotions. She said: “Here’s a boy who’s got a lot wrong in his life, and isn’t as privileged as you are, and here he is turning his experience into lyrics.””
