A US hip-hop magazine has been given permission to publish CDs containing excerpts of an Eminem recording which the magazine alleges is racist.
A federal judge allowed The Source to make available up to 20 seconds of two previously unreleased works made by the rapper when he was a teenager.
His lawyers argued that distributing the CD violated copyright laws.
The Source said some of the material was offensive to black women. Eminem has apologised for "foolish" lyrics.
The magazine says a lyric which states that "black girls are dumb" is denigrating to African-American women.
