        You are genuinely tripping, 20 years ago was 2004. Are you talking about the dancing baby gif or something? If you’re old enough to make this kind of complaint I can’t believe that you don’t have the attention span to read a paragraph.

          20 years ago were image macros, demotivationals, and shortly after that, the following years were advice animals and rage comics.

          Dancing baby was mid to late nineties, like Hamster Dance and goatse. Learn your Internet history. 20 years ago Digg was the king of social bookmarking before it was known as social media, 20 years ago was the birth of Web 2.0

      Because it’s more nuance than that?

      It’s not to be taken at face value. This song is about a man who struggles with addiction. He’s stuck in a relationship with a nasty person all for the sake of his daughter. He’s rapping with raw emotions.

      You not supposed to listen to it and be like “ah fuck yeah. Murder is cool”. You’re supposed to listen to it and feel the same emotions he feels, which is vehement rage and desperation.

          Have you heard the song? CuZ that’s not what’s in the song. But go off, yeah.

        It’s not more nuanced than that, millions of people deal with those issues and don’t directly threaten their significant other/baby momma with literal murder you reaffirm you actually wanted to commit.

            It’s not my interpretation it’s literally his words that are sourced above this shouldn’t even be an argument.

            1. Writes a song he explicitly states in the above sourced interview that it’s specifically about killing his baby momma.

            2. Says don’t take it literally but also that he wanted to do it at the time.

            I’m not saying it’s right or wrong I’m saying it is exactly what it is and meant exactly what he meant it to mean art or not, but in this case why aren’t you willing to trust the artists word.

        Misogyny has always been normal and accepted, see conservatives everywhere. The popularity of rap music as a whole is a testament to just how little people care about it.

    The Your Favorite Band Sucks podcast did a four part series on Eminem last month. Check it out here.

    Great show. They know a lot about music. Get over yourself, they’re mostly playing characters rather than villains, but I do think they hate Eminem.

      I tried listening to it but can’t stand the meandering style that is common in podcasts for some reason.

      “We’re going to do multiple episodes on Eminem because there’s way too much to talk about.”

      30 sec prior:

      “Take me to a Mexican restaurant and 90% of the time I’m going to spill cheese sauce on myself”

      🤦
