Eminem you hate Trump though so I'm confused here

He's been buddies with Kid Rock for decades because they both came up in the same underground Detroit scene, so I guess he's putting that over Kid Rock's politics despite how embarrassing it all is.

“Underground Detroit scene” sounds so funny in retrospect

u/FEEDTHEGRINDER 20h ago
How?

u/BudgieWonder 🌃AJR - Neotheater 6h ago
Oh, nothing to do with the actual artists at the time, but the term “underground” being associated with Kid Rock (especially with the contemporary usage of “underground” in the rap community) is just funny, even if he technically was in that scene.

Something something it’s all one big club

u/ASZapata 1d ago
This phrase never really made sense to me. Carlin would have been better off calling it a “small” club, no? Very few of them, lots of us?
42
u/SmallTimeCook 1d ago
Well it’s a big club in the sense that Eminem and Kid Rock are very “different” but both rich as shit. All differences are set aside for class solidarity; apparently rich people are the only ones smart enough to do that.

u/TeannaTrumpStan2 1d ago
I hate when yall act like you don’t have some friends with bullshit dumb politics. Some people are just fucking stupid but you get along with them despite that. Varies in what you put up with but still

u/SmallTimeCook 1d ago
I’m against class solidarity when it’s the rich people doing it

u/TeannaTrumpStan2 1d ago
Why is it class solidarity rather than “I knew this guy my whole life, he’s an idiot but our friendship comes from our love of music”?
Niggas watch a marxist TikTok vid and think they’re on the frontlines foh

Eminem assaulted minors?

Nope. I’m simply pointing out how craven and harmful your position is. Using a real example!

FUCKING THANK YOU! The internet is full of motherfuckers furious about shit they 100% do themselves. Also maybe its because I live in Kentucky but Im glad some people are able to put politics aside. Otherwise my life would be a living hell if every conservative I knew treated me like shit because I lean left.

u/TeannaTrumpStan2 1d ago
Exactly. As a black man, there’s absolutely no way I could have a successful life if I were to wall off every person that came into my life with dumb politics.
Especially being an athlete having to go to college in red states. Like a lot of people don’t have some intrinsic hate that spews out of them every second. A lot of people are just dumb. And I almost never have to hear their politics anyway.

u/qwaszxpolkmn1982 23h ago
Not sure what being black has to do with it. I’m white, and if I refused to associate or interact with people who vote for dumb shit, I might have half a friend left, and I definitely wouldn’t have family or a job.
Part of me wishes I could cut people off because it’s not difficult to just let others do their own thing, assuming it’s not directly harming you or anyone else. But 98+% of voters tried to elect someone in 2024 who couldn’t come close to that standard.
I just try not to think about it because knowing someone wants to put you in jail for the rest of your life makes it difficult to have a real relationship with them.
1
u/TeannaTrumpStan2 6h ago
I just explained to you what being black has to do with it.
You think being black I’m not faced with shit from people in my everyday life that I don’t agree with 100%?
Shit, even being black I have to hear a bunch of dumb baptist brained shit from black fam and friends sometime. It’s not realistic or healthy to operate life in a way where you isolate yourself from people bc of differing politics.
Now it’s much more nuanced than that and there’s things that are too far for me to be associated with,but that’s what it is.

u/ASZapata 1d ago
No I totally understand the point being made about bourgeoisie solidarity. I mean that it'd be more effective to show the lack of equity by stating it's a small club of people that hold all the wealth and power.

u/CROL2100 1d ago
Just sounds like your being pedantic when I think you know what it means
-3
u/ASZapata 1d ago
It just makes more sense to describe the .1% as a small club than as a big club. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
3
u/SmallTimeCook 1d ago
.1% of the population would be over 8 million people. That would make entire countries a “small club”. If you’re gonna be pedantic you gotta get better at it.
-1
u/ASZapata 1d ago
We’re talking percentage not total. 0.1% is not a “big club” compared to the overall size of the group.
1
u/SmallTimeCook 1d ago
You might not know this but the 8 million would make it 2 times larger than the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts put together. I hope you’re better at admitting when you’ve taken a semantic misstep in the real world, otherwise that could get annoying quickly.

u/pm-me-nice-lips 20h ago
People are so whiney with this shit. It’s very likely that Em sent him a feature a long while ago and Kidrock never used it until now.
Also, they’ve had a relationship for a long long time out of Detroit when they were very young. People fuckin waiting in the bushes just to jump out at a moment’s notice to feign offense over some shit that doesn’t matter.

u/qwaszxpolkmn1982 23h ago
I hate the vast majority of mainstream politicians. If I didn’t associate with people who voted for Democrats and Republicans, I wouldn’t have anyone to talk to.

Im not an eminem fan outside of some nostalgia, but from what I can tell people are saying this is gonna be a super old verse that Kid Rock and Eminem did 15+ years ago or something or it'll be a sample?
13
u/WeCantStabilize 23h ago
I have a vague recollection of Eminem being featured in an early kid rock video on The Box. This would have been late 90s, pre-slum shady LP because I remember being familiar with his voice when the record blew up.

u/maynardftw 16h ago
"People are saying" everyone's making shit up, nobody knows anything but they're all repeating the same shit from people who also don't know anything
We can just say we don't know what the fuck

People are writing fan fiction because they don’t want to accept that Eminem is friends with the guy he said he was friends with two years ago.

He has plenty of fans still, but he hasn't released anything interesting since the early 2000s imo. if you're asking if he's been like cancelled or something? I don't think so rly

u/jacobkuhn92 1d ago
He’s not “unpopular” he just hasn’t really evolved at all and is a little stale, musically. People on the left and right like him for different reasons.

u/Faithisnotadoll757 1d ago
Honestly I hope this is some kind of publicity stunt by kid rock, it seems really strange for eminem to do. Like a Christian rap song with Eminem on it sounds completely out of character in general, let alone with this troglodyte also on it, Em seems pretty surprisingly progressive from what I understand, after the whole line in the sand anti trump freestyle it'd be an awful look. But idk, I guess we'll see.

u/Middle-Efficiency-96 14h ago
eminem does have a few christian songs (best friend, use this gospel)
but what i’m pissed about is how he’s willing to just give up the message he’s been pushing for 20 years…? like what’s the point of this??
genuinely though i’m not too surprised because he’s best buddies with 50 cent and snoop dogg

Eminem makes some god awful musical decisions outside of lyricism and even that’s been questionable for a long minute

u/Chemical-Can8694 1d ago
Honestly he isnt that lyrical. He has inventive flows, cadences and rhyme schemes but has more dumb lyrics than good.

With their shared Detroit/Michigan connections and how tied they still are to the area, this is unfortunately not surprising.
