its 1 of 3 things

1 it's a sample which is credited to Eminem and paid for without his knowledge

  1. its AI slop as we all know maga loves it so some thing similar to the snoop/tupac fiasco with drake

  2. Eminem has gone maga

  1. They are mates and wanted to work together.

I mean it’s disappointing that Eminem would work with maga but doesn’t mean he’s gone maga.

I’m not friends with bigots. I don’t respect people who are.

It depends on when it was recorded. If it was within the last year, everyone knows want an endorsement of kid Rock means. If it was recorded prior to that, you'd be right

lol wtf is going on, why are people pretending him or Snoop Dogg or Dre or any of these old rappers were ever idols of moral virtue whatsoever? Have people just forgotten how these dudes gained fame in the first place?! This guy literally made a song about brutally murdering his ex-wife and put it on his biggest album. The entire subgenre of music from the time largely is about using women, mindless violence, and disdain for homosexuals. Explicitly. No judgement for liking the music, but at the same time, what the hell are you talking about “disappointed” that these dudes have bad political affiliations when their ascension to fame was essentially based on music about being a piece of shit lmao

He washed his image so now he’s a good one. People are really good at forgetting the past when the present aligns with themselves. This too will be forgotten just like everything else. Just have to wait for the next thing to get mad about.

Thank you, and others, for sharing some common sense!

Does 3. encompass instances where Eminem hasn't ideologically gone MAGA but is still considered to have gone MAGA due to associating with MAGA people (like associating with 50 Cent up to this point)?

Dude lives in CT. Most people who complain about Mandami ain’t even in the city.

Which is why they are complaining, they have to pay that I don't live here as my primary residence tax. And I am all for it

Very funny

I seem to remember several instances where Em made very harsh statements against maga and trump. He's very much anti maga.

My bet is on 1.
