But probably not though.

Nah I think that's probably reasonably accurate. He was a guy raised in an environment where homophobia was okay (****ty Detroit) and got into rap where it's really okay and acclimated.

That's true but he's like 46 even if he grew up with those views it doesn't mean he has them now.

Speaking of it being OK in Hip-Hop though you're not wrong it'd probably be easier to name rappers who HAVEN'T used this word.

Basically what I said. I don't know maybe he's a hardcore gaybasher on the down low but I suspect he didn't really care that much and when he got a record deal and saw the world and got rich enough to keeping seeing even more of the world I wouldn't be surprised if the provincialism that breeds homophobia and other prejudices faded away at least to an extent. Like a dog who gets socialized properly and doesn't bark at black people.

I thought Em started as somewhat of a shock rapper. I remember the verses about raping his mother more than I do whenever he said ***got.

Not inherently incestual tho

He was just a guy who said funny ****. That's really his secret, he says funny ****. He's honestly the best when he's just throwing punchline after punchline just for the **** of it. That's basically his entire career anyway so when he cuts the songwriting you just get pure Em goodness.



I'm blowin' up like spontaneous human combustion
Leaving you in the aftermath of holocaust and traumas
Cross the bombers
We blowin' up your house, killing your parents
And coming back to get your foster mommas

That's true. If there's ever room for interpretation in rap lyricism, it would be with his songs.

:laughing:

Probably the best thing in this thread.
