"Role Model" is a song by American rapper Eminem, that features on his major-label debut album The Slim Shady LP. The song also appears on the deluxe edition of his compilation album, The Hits. Released as a single in 1999, following "My Name Is", a music video was made, using the heavily censored radio edit. It became a minor hit on the US charts.

Content

During the song, he also mocks unsuitable role models, who people will mimic regardless of the things they do. Eminem makes fun of Canibus' claim that he ghost writes LL Cool J's raps by jokingly accusing Canibus of not writing his own raps. The radio edit goes further into this situation with the line "Six mics in The Source - they borrowed one from LL's arm." In the song, Eminem raps "Some people only see that I'm white, ignorin' skill, 'cause I stand out like a green hat with an orange bill. But I don't get pissed, y'all don't even see through the mist. How the fuck can I be white? I don't even exist" mentioning early controversy as he struggled to gain notice in a predominantly African American industry.

"Role Model" also addresses Hillary Clinton, who Eminem claims "tried to slap me and call me a pervert/I ripped her fucking tonsils out and fed her sherbet", and Cage, who is referenced in the line "Cause when I drop this solo shit, it's over with/I bought Cage's tape, opened it and dubbed over it".

Critical reception

David Browne described this: "In Role Model, he gleefully debunks the idea of rappers as heroes (So if I said I never do drugs, that would mean I lie and get f ---ed more than the President does)."[1] RapReviews highlighted following lyrics: "I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave/ Die from an overdose and dig myself up out of my grave/ My middle finger won't go down, how do I wave?/ And this is how I'm supposed to teach kids how to behave?"[2]

Music video

The video is a darker comedic offering than "My Name Is", directed by Dr. Dre and Phillip G. Atwell. The opening of the song, where Eminem announces he's going to attempt to drown himself and that the audience can follow him, is left out, but is acted out in a silent movie style. After Eminem is introduced, he proceeds to attempt a Houdini-like escape trick from being held under water. After that there are scenes of Eminem performing live at a concert, acting as a priest (who sits awkwardly in a bedroom with a young churchgoer that later dresses up in drag), a police officer arresting someone for cannabis possession (though the cigarettes are blurred out), a Norman Bates-like man and a cartoon superhero-type character beating up chicken (A similar chicken character that resembling Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Tunes). At the end of the video, the escape trick fails and Eminem drowns. The video edit is edited differently from the edited version of The Slim Shady LP. The edited version on The Slim Shady LP just backmasks, while the video edit changes the lyrics at some points, while replacing others with sound effects. A director's cut also exists, which is edited to the uncensored version of the song. Changes include the blood being added to Eminem as he confesses to killing Nicole Brown Simpson, adding certain segments of Eminem as a priest with the child, editing the scene where Eminem disappears differently, and Eminem with a shovel while saying "I never meant to hit you over the head with the shovel". The Foghorn Leghorn-inspired character is also now flipping Eminem the bird with his tail feathers, and the cannabis cigarettes are shown.[3]
