Bonus question: who needs to be bitchslapped more - Eminem or Stephen Malkmus?

I'm going with "Jo-Jo's Jacket" simply because Eminem disses Moby for being 36.

Dr. Dre is 37.

I like Malkmus and Em, but yes both of them could use a slapping......but Moby.........that fucking guy needs to get raped and whupped by Bolo Yeung......once that's done, I would convince my sister to tell the cops that Moby raped her......Moby is the kind of aggressively self-effacing pseud that self-effaces to offset the insane punchability of everything about him, not because he thinks he sucks.....he's the kind of guy I act like when I'm trying to charm and exploit people that think Requiem For A Dream is on some next shit

is jo-jo's jacket really a dis on moby? the only explicit reference is to yul brenner. there's that bit about house music, but that's really stretching it to apply to the mobester.

the video for jo-jo's is awesome by the way, especially the rocking kittens.

okay, I am being slight disengenuous here. The "Jo-Jo's Jacket is about Moby" theory was posed by indiegeeks and when asked Malkmus has responded in the affirmative, although this must be taken with a heavy grain of salt as getting a straightforward answer out of Stephen Malkmus is like playing out Epimenides' paradox. So, no, "Jo- Jo's Jacket" isn't as directly about Moby as say, the Pet Shop Boys "The Night I Fell in Love" is about Eminem.

I don't know what it says about me that if Ramosi lived in NYC, I'd probably hang out with him all the time. Without Me is the greatest song ever, but listen, I mean it's not like the ugliest member of NSync or Moby are particularly tough targets, though I do like Eminem shouting "Nobody listens to techno". I'm going to put that on a t- shirt.

What is up with the video, why doesn't Dre don a superhero costume? it seems a little unfair.
