On Eminem’s Use of Gay Slurs Lyrics

I'm saying that the use of the word 'f-ggot' is not enlightening. You can't argue it means something else, just like the n-word or any other racist phrase.

My feeling is at the moment with what's going on in Russia, where people are being killed, killed, any word that legitimizes that is bad. And I don’t care if it's Eminem or anyone else. And him saying, 'It's ironic,' well, it's not if you're getting your head kicked in. So I do feel quite strongly about it but it's not against him. It's against anybody who uses that word.

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
