He's always employed shock tactics with his music though, he's always used outrage to promote his music so giving him that outrage seems counter-productive if you oppose what he does.

This really is a new low for him. He's so irrelevant these days. Can't believe people on twitter were actually defending him.

I listen to a lot of controversial rap so I'm desensitized to it and I feel like music can be taken with a grain of salt. But if people take offense, they take offense, I'm not gonna discredit those feelings but I'm personally definitely giving Em a pass :shrug: (and a round of applause for the album in general)

Shame tho because this new album is FIRE! :devil:

I'm also a big fan soooo yeah :joker:

Fans don’t have to like, agree or defend everything that the person they like does though

I'm just desensitized to controversial lyrics in general. I'm just saying I could also be biased towards him as a big fan but I just don't think it's that big of a deal to make a shooting reference in a song. I see how people could think it's in poor taste ofc, people were and still are distraught from it, but I just take it as a lyric meant to gain attention, that "oooo **** they went there" factor in music that's particularly big in rap. :idc: It's not that I don't care about those people's feelings I just don't think it's an awful act from a singer/rapper.. like for example idc if a rapper even made a 9/11 reference and 1) that was a huge gross attack on America and 2) a relative of mine (somewhat distant tbf) died that day. I wouldn't support it like "nice lyric bro!" but I wouldn't take offense to that either. You could maybe say I'm just not offended much tho :shrug:

That Irrelevant he is likely to do the chart double this week

He has displayed little to no musical growth since 1999 and yet still comes back with the same album every 3 years and dominates the charts. I don't get it. All the catchy pop songs dried up a decade ago.

that said, haven't listened to MTBMB yet

Denver 24-01-2020 09:51 PM

He did a chart double and become the first ever artist to have a 10th consecutive UK #1 Album

yes, it's incredibly distasteful and the families of those involved mustn't be very pleased, but it's...Eminem, a rapper. The genre is known for its controversial lyrics, so I don't get why people are so surprised.
