I just get uncomfortable when people use the word tbh, if anything it seems childish to me. As kids everyone just threw that word around as an insult without thinking at all.

Just because you call all your friends by the term doesn't mean everyone has to like it.

I don't dislike the song, I just find him using that word a little embarassing and uncomfortable.

I'm iffy about the word myself. Yet some of the most progressive of my friends use it, which is interesting to me.

it's exactly like that. They are so oblivious to the fact that the viewpoint they hold is being mocked, not promoted.

Except it isn't the same at all.

South Park was about how the word has evolved over time. Louis CK described it as he always used it and thought of it as a word akin to douche. That in today's society it is not a single meaning word.

South Park is often used as examples for social issues because they tackle controversial issues to show their beliefs and how Matt and Trey feel. Just the same as comedians will often put their opinion on subject matter out there. You don't have to agree with it but sometimes media can portray and give examples of an opinion.

You can also notice this by observing people in society itself but I can't exactly give you examples of that on the internet, so I used those two. I am sure you see it though.

This is a conversation for a different topic though.

Nice flow, not too sure about the cover art though.

Dope track. Great flow. The technical skill is off the charts.

However, he's still lacking something for me. I don't blame him for it, all artists seem to go this route after a while.

Also, I don't care for the "ol lookin boy" portion. It's just weird to me.

Thanks for the reference, I'll check it out when I get off of work. I don't think it was terrible or anything, maybe it felt out of place to me...? It didn't add anything to the track for me, it came off as the weakest portion.

Well truthfully track has no real direction. Its only purpose seems to be to show off his technical skill and flow. He does add some commentary when talking about the rappers he grew up listening to and how he feels he is the same to the new school.

I think he switches to the hot stylz to mock that whole style of rap.

Must... not... get.... hyped....

And Louis CK has now stopped using it because he realises how offensive he was being.

Eminem saying it doesn't really bother me enough to offend me, in the same way that people on Reddit saying it all the time doesn't offend me. It's just cringy as fuck and makes you sound like an ignorant dickhead when using it.

I dislike the use of the word faggot just as much as the next sane civil individual but I can't help but to find it a bit amusing that Em using faggot in his songs is still considered over the top and unacceptable... when the same guy has sung about raping his mother, taking his 1 year old daughter along to dispose of his wife's corpse, slitting his own wrists, and generally abusing women.

This is all part of the persona he portrays as being a foul mouthed mad man. There is no reason to believe he actually hates homosexuals, wants to rape his mother, and enjoys self mutilation is all I'm saying. This type of vile shit has never seeped over into his real life as far as I know. It's just a persona.

Did people get mad at Joe Pesci for calling Robert De Niro a dirty Jew motherfucker in Casino? Do you think Joe Pesci really hates Jews? I've seen no evidence of this. It's just a character he played and he played it very well. Eminem is no different.

I don't know why people think music is some exception to the rule when it comes to playing characters.

Listening to it for the first time.

HOT. Had to rewind it at least 10 times because I was so blown away by some parts
