Role Model (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Role Model" is a rap song by Eminem from The Slim Shady LP. The song also appears on Curtain Call bonus disc Stan's Mixtape. This song is Eminem mocking his position as a role model with lines like "I slap women and eat shrooms and O.D." and "I tie a rope around my penis and jump from a tree" and repeating the line "don't you wanna grow up to be just like me" with more intensity in the last verse ending the song with "you probably wanna grow up to be just like me". Interestingly enough, the song was not an official single, but a video was still made along with a heavily censored radio edit.
[edit] Video
The video is a darker comedic offering than My Name Is.... It starts with someone introducing Eminem who is about to do a "Houdini" like escape trick in a silent movie style, after that there are scenes of Eminem as a priest (who sits awkwardly with a young churchgoer in a bedroom and then with a prostitute), a police officer arresting someone for possession, a Norman Bates-like man and a cartoon character beating up Foghorn Leghorn.
