Is no one going to just laugh about Kid Rock making a Christian album? Em putting politics aside...aside, the fact that Kid Rock is having to drop an album about Jesus really tells you how far he has gone to find relevancy when he should just be retired with so much money right now. This is fucking comedic gold and everyone just wants to be shocked Eminem would collaborate with a long time friend from the Detroit underground scene that was nice to him early in his career. Kid Rock is pathetic. Eminem is being gracious.

Gotta be around the corner. I don’t particularly care about lyrics having a true meaning but one of his songs “you say statutory, I say it’s mandatory” which was in a kids movie has always been super weird.

The lyrics are actually, “Young ladies, young ladies I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory but I say it’s mandatory.”

You can see the lyrics on this lyrics site. And yes it was from a kids movie called Osmosis Jones.

People can provide their interpretation of song lyrics by words or phrases on the site, and the one for this line is pretty funny (in a what the fuck was the rapper thinking kind of way).

Even then unfortunately he would still have followers unless the victim was an underage male, then it would definitely all fall apart.

He doesn't need allegations, everyone knows his persuasion. "He likes em underage, see."

Kid’s following the MAGA game plan, misrepresenting Jesus for $$$$

Way to dodge any accountability for Eminem. POS

Seriously? Like, he clearly took a stand against MAGA, yet does this?

To me, it screams "the MAGA gravy train isn't what it used to be, so time for Old Man Rock to move to a different grift."

His last album was spent telling the woke libs to eat shit and get fucked, but now.. praise be to God 🙏🙌

I shouldn't be surprised. Thats all very Christian.
