Eminem is an abusive pig who has more than once rapped about killing women and disposing of their bodies, including his own ex wife to whom he had dedicated multiple revenge songs that talk about murdering her while the general public and music reviews called him a genius.

[staygoldpnyboy]

Biggest take away to me as well. What the fuck

[vulcan_rhapsody]

so he still raps about killing women? Cool.

[fimh]

as an adult im actually horrified by the lyrics we let him get away with

[xdecadentx]

Yeah looking back on some of the shit he says is...

As a teenager I don't think I really took it in but now.

[genbu_no_miko24]

pretty much. So many things allowed in media years ago.
