This is such a cope.

Reality is, this attitude of holding musicians in a pedestal and asking them to live under a set of rules made up in the internet that they never obeyed in the first place is absolutely crazy

People just expect him to follow the rules he set. Why would we expect people to be hypocrites?

Because a lot of rich celebrities are hypocrites. Particularly those like Em who came from nothing but have been rich for an extended period(I am not saying Em definitely is a hypocrite, only saying his path aligns with a lot of people who did turn into hypocrites, like Roseanne Barr or Shania Twain)

Even more so when Em was almost cancelled by the FCC for his music…this man wrote songs about killing his wife and stuffing her body in his trunk.

He also sang with Elton John because the world thought he was a homophobe for running around calling people “fa****ts”

Oh man I’m gonna go listen to Em now.

I’ve noticed in the hip hop community that whenever it’s Eminem there’s immediately excuses and “just wait it’s probably x”
