Yet again I am entertained by Eminem's ongoing war with The Source magazine. I can only imagine that it's going to continue to escalate.

NEW YORK (AP) _ A court ruling has stopped the hip-hop magazine The Source from distributing a CD of a previously unreleased recording by rapper Eminem that includes phrases like "Black girls are dumb."
Manhattan federal Judge Gerald Lynch granted Eminem's lawyers an injunction preventing the magazine from enclosing the CD in its February issue, which goes on sale in mid-January.
Eminem's lawyers had argued that distributing the CDs violates copyright laws.
Last month, The Source held a press conference to accuse Eminem, who is white, of racism, citing lyrics on the recording like "Black girls are dumb, and white girls are good chicks."
Eminem has said the recording was "foolishness" that he made as a teenager "out of anger, stupidity and frustration" after breaking up with a black girlfriend.
The magazine, which has a long-running feud with the rapper and published a poster in February 2002 of a cartoon featuring his decapitated head, planned extensive coverage of the recording in the issue.
Messages left at the offices of The Source and Interscope Records early Thursday were not immediately returned.
