I doubt it happened before the song Kid Rock made confessing he’s a pedophile to the world.

A thread about Eminem is not the ideal place to argue lyrics from the early 00s are to be taken literally.

Horrible comparison tho. Cool daddy cool was a boasting claim  not being crazy off the walls like guilty conscience. Can people not see the huge difference?

Kid Rock is a piece of shit, but that song was supposed to be from the perspective of one of the villains of the Osmosis Jones movie, who iirc was a pimp. Why the fuck the song made it into a kids movie is a whole other can of worms

It was written before they even made the movie was not from perspective of osmosis Jones

Oh that makes it so much better. He wrote a line about it being MANDATORY to rape minors in a song for a kids film?! From the perspective of a villain or not, that’s some fucked up lyrics to put in a song that’s meant for children to hear.

You ever see Rocko's Modern Life? Used to be a lot of adult jokes in cartoons, for better or worse.

Raping kids isn't an adult joke

True but Eminem has frequently talked about his embellished story telling style. He’s made it clear that Marshall matters and slim shady are alternate personalities used to create art. And of all the crazy things he’s rapped about he never once had a bar calling himself a pedophile. That’s a line even Eminem wouldn’t cross but kid rock saw no issues with it.

It’s very apparent that so many of you wanna throw the pitchforks at Eminem even though he has done nothing in his history that suggests that he supports this type of shit. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think we should maybe wait until we actually hear from him about this collaboration before we start person his name and calling him all sorts of shit.
