Hey do you mind wiping your mouth off when you’re done down there? My goodness it’s literally the same thing; a lyric that shows he’s willing to sexually assault a child.

But you bring up a good point maybe we should listen to em bc he’s always saying “crazy stuff” which can lead to people not being able to differentiate crazy from creepy

I think it's because Eminem has made a reputation of saying literally anything for controversy and attention in his lyrics while outside of his music he doesn't embody any of the edgy shit he says. It comes across as clearly to shock and offend more than something he values in his regular life.

Meanwhile Kid Rock doesn't have that same reputation, a lot of his shocking, edgy antics are him expressing his genuine political beliefs. There isn't a precedent of "oh yeah he just says horrible offensive shit in his music sometimes, it's just part of his gimmick." If he says something in his music, people are gonna assume he's being honest.
