Not only did Eminem receive a standing ovation and a hug from the man with the red piano, but he managed to show how little he cared about the GLAAD protest by raising both middle fingers to the audience. He has endorsed gay marriage and repeatedly told interviewers that he doesn’t actually have any problem with gay people, quoting “I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.” The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) declared Ems lyrics as the most homophobic and hateful that GLAAD have ever seen” and even protested against the 43 rd annual Grammy awards, which gave him a platform to perform his famous duet with Sir Elton John. Eminem has a darker, evil alter ego that plays and exploits for laughs and popularity, representing the worst and darkest bile of America, in his own words “What’s the difference between Eminem and Slim Shady? Well, Eminem would fuck you but Slim Shady would fuck you and your mother.” But hey, “There’s a Slim Shady in all of us.”
He uses this persona as a shock tactic – it allows him to be as bitter and angry as he wants, throwing lights on all kinds of injustices in the world. Slim Shady is the most famous and most often used – a character who loved violence and drugs, singing about rape, murder, self-harm and mental illnesses. So is “Rap God” the explosive reappearance of Slim Shady? Over the decade, Em has worked with multiple rapping “personas”. He has been using homophobic affronts and imagery in his music for more than a decade now, drawing all sorts of controversy and protest in the process. The song displays the lyrical talent and rapid-fire flow that made him one of the most successful rappers in our generation, but as always, it is sprinkled with gay-slurs and generic insults.

Whilst Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are in the midst of those conventional hip-hop artists challenging music’s deeply en-grained problems with homophobia, the award for Artist of the Year ultimately went to Eminem, who is debatably one of hip-hop’s most determined delinquents.Įminem’s single, “Rap God,” has lately come under pointless criticism with lyrics, again, such as declaring he wants to “break a motherfuckers table over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half” in the first verse.
