Eminem
Homage:
Does your chosen artist use other artists music in a respectful manner?
Are they bringing a potentially forgotten or overlooked style to a new audience?
My Name Is (1998) directly samples Labi Siffre's 'I Got The...' (1975)
This utilised a sample of music from an original soul/funk song and incorporated it into a parodic hip-hop track.
In response to Eminem using other artists music in a respectful manner I would say he shows a variety depending on what song he uses the samples in. The sample of Labi Siffre is used in a respectful way and shows how one beat can be used in two very different songs, I believe Dr Dre's role as producer should be respected as he saw the potential in a song that is very different to that of his and Eminem's intentions with My Name Is.
Parody:
Marshall Mathers (2000) samples Lyte Funkie One's 'Summer Girls' (1999)
Eminem takes one line from Summer Girls and changes the following lyrics to disrespect boy band New Kids On The Block, he also suggests they are homosexual by saying 'I cant wait til i catch you faggots in public'.
LFO
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
Eminem
New kids on the block sucked a lot of dick
Boy/girl groups make me sick
And I can't wait 'til I catch all you faggots in public
I'ma love it.. (hahaha)
Bricolage:
Like Toy Soldiers (2004) directly samples Martika's 'Toy Soldiers' (1988)
Eminem produced this and sampled a rock/pop song into a belligerent yet conscious hip-hop track.
The sample of Martika's 'Toy Soldiers' used in 'Like Toy Soldiers' is taken from one genre of music and applied to a very different one, the original intentions of the song are changed by Eminem who applies the lyrics to a current affair in his life.

Eminem uses the chorus from Summer Girls and changes the lyrics/context of the words to show a lot of disrespect for boy band New Kids On The Block, he references Lyte Funkie One's to have a dig at the sexuality of the band members. Many believed and still do believe Eminem is a homophobe and therefore releasing lyrics like this didn't help his case that he wasn't.
