We keep the Mark Fuhrman tapes, in a safe, locked them away {*slam*}
Better watch what you say, just when you thought you were safe
Them fuckers got you on tape, you swear to God you was playin

from Eminem – My 1st Single Lyrics on Rap Genius

Mark Fuhrman was an LAPD detective that testified at the O.J. Simpson murder trial. During cross-examination, Fuhrman claimed that he had not used the word “nigger” in ten years. The defense then found audiotape of Fuhrman repeatedly using the word

Similiarly, around the time Encore was being recorded, Ray Benzino (who Em was feuding with) released a tape that a 16-year-old Eminem made in his basement, in which he used the infamous N-word. Em apologized and explained that he was young and stupid, and had had a bad breakup with a black girlfriend at the time that the tape was recorded

Both Fuhrman and Em faced similar situations; this also extends the O.J. metaphor from the previous line
