[...] Eminem Raises Hell with Controversial Lyric – andPOPDoesn’t seem so harsh until you here the fake/it’s combo, and then you understand that Eminem is still as reckless as always. There are obviously two sides to the controversy: those who see defamation in music as a cheap, hurtful tool (leave this … [...]

You said all that needs to be said with “if you don’t like it, don’t listen”.

Eminem has done a lot for free speech in the World of Entertainment and the World in general.

Eminem is not homeophobic illustrated perfectly with his classic Em / Elton duet performance at the Grammy’s.

Point was, he used to use the word “faggot” in a generic sense to mean “knob” “turd” – This kind of thing. In urban US areas, the meaning is generic and unspecific. It’s not just a gay slur.

But then idiots started saying it was gay-bashing so he’s been playing with that ever since. He’s even said in interviews “of course I’m not homeophobic, I’m just saying this to piss you off” and people still don’t get it.

It’s not cheap either because he’s aiming it at the people who don’t get the fact he was never gay-bashing to begin with.

That’s why on his second album he went all out with it and BECAME what everyone was calling him. Hence “The Way I Am” – I’m going to be, whatever you say I am. I am, whatever you say I am.

He’s spelled it out… More clearly than any other artist in history has had the courtesy to do and yet you fucking morons still get GENUINELY offended as if it’s still real. He’s good friends with Elton John lmao. Fools.

But yeah, go back to point one. Don’t fucking listen.

I get offended by the shit watered down nature of pop music. But I don’t write in places and try get Britey Spears banned. I just ignore it. Get a life.

Eminem is the only rap artist who actually really goes into his rap records…Dre’s Detox aint ever gona come..50 fell off..jay is busy making commercial shit..Wayne;s fukin and makin my ears bleed

Yea hip hop is definitely dead right now, and Eminem seems to be one of the only ones holding it up, but that’s a whole other issue.

This is not poetry…no between-the-lines depth to be found in his “lyrics”.
This guy is pathetic.

Lyk em’s lyrics bt he’s loosn it now needs rehab..
