A US judge has handed down an unprecedented rhyming "diss" in court to 
a man who claimed rapper Eminem's lyrics defamed him.

According to The Macomb Daily in Michigan, Judge Deborah Servitto told 
DeAngelo Bailey: "Mr Bailey complains that his rap is trash,/so he's 
seeking compensation in the form of cash./

"Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain,/ because Eminem 
used his name in vain./ The lyrics are stories no one would take as 
fact,/ they're an exaggeration of a childish act./

"It is therefore this court's ultimate position,/ that Eminem is 
entitled to summary disposition."
