Quite possible that it is a hoax looking closely at the website, but the 
reaction to it from Kurt's 14 year old daughter was obviously real, and should 
teach us to pay attention to the kids more.   If Eminem's Record lable saw that 
reaction he would be in the studio right now cutting a CD full of Rapping 
Ragtime and they would soon have their next napster lawsuit going as the millioins 
of Eminem fans got turned on to OKOM.

I am off to the studio tonight cutting "P diddy "
"Rapping over ODJB, we will have it in stores everywhere tomorrow night, 
tomorrow we will be selling copies out of the trunk of my car before the 
downloaders get it so we can break even on the bootleg cost of production.

These kind of Rap productions costs a lot of money to produce that authentic 
music sound  we get by buying or downloading the contents of an entire CD to 
duplicate from after tortureous minutes of mixing.

Cheers,

Now I wash my hands on this and Washboards for the day.
