The song "Public Service Announcement (Skit)" by Eminem is essentially an intro or interlude to his album. It features a collaboration with producer Jeff Bass, and presents a disclaimer-like message to the listeners. The lyrics begin with Jeff Bass introducing the skit as a public service announcement, mentioning that it is brought to you in part by Slim Shady (Eminem's alter ego). He warns that the views and events expressed in the skit are "totally fucked" and may not align with anyone's opinions. Jeff Bass then acknowledges that the suggestions and events mentioned on the album should not be taken lightly. He specifically advises that children should not listen to the album, especially while wearing shoes with laces, implying that the content may be dangerous or unsuitable for young audiences. Additionally, Jeff Bass states that Slim Shady (Eminem) is not responsible for any actions listeners may take after purchasing the album. He mentions that by purchasing the album, the listeners have agreed not to try whatever is mentioned on the record at home, essentially warning against trying to imitate or replicate any potentially harmful actions mentioned in the album. After Jeff Bass finishes speaking, Eminem briefly interrupts to emphasize the message by adding, "Yeah, don't do drugs." This reinforces the overarching message of caution and highlights the song's intent to discourage harmful behaviors. Overall, "Public Service Announcement (Skit)" serves as a disclaimer, setting a tone for the album and informing listeners that the content they are about to hear may be controversial, potentially dangerous, and not suitable for children. It reflects Eminem's unique and provocative style by challenging societal norms and expectations.
