Am I being overly sensitive?

[thedeflowerer]

is anyone else horrified by the lyrics of that new Eminem song with Rhianna?
Specifically:
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries

Yes, those lyrics are just wrong.

Maybe it's like acting in a horrific movie and they really don't mean what they're saying? Not that it's obvious.

[thedeflowerer]

you're probably right.
I think it is just worse knowing that Eminem has a known history of abusing his wife and Rhianna has a known history of being abused...

It is in bad taste.

That said, I just read this interview with him and he talks about how he tries to write shocking songs, "rhyming to shock people" and, "how much fucked up shit can I say?"

It isn't a very responsible or mature way of getting attention, that's for sure!
