Mar 13, 2018Yeah... that's words? That's fiction...
If he actually DID do that and was saying what he says now - that would be something different. It's quite amazing that some critics and specifically it seems American media and critics seem to have difficulty differentiating between fiction and reality;
Him writing about his frustration or fantasy and some cartoonish scene of him standing a line of bullies up and shooting them with an Uzi is just an expression of rage and the point of it is really just saying 'I hate bullies'. The mechanism of how you get to that point isn't relevant to real world actions, just like any director or any writer can make a point with... Words, concepts, visuals...
Clearly and obviously - Eminem the human being, the person, wouldn't line up a bunch of people and s---t them with an Uzi lmao. That's ridiculous. So for people to suggest he is a pro gun person because of cartoonish, fictional lyricism / art vs. real life and real world situations now... That's just silly.
The moments on MMLP where he was actually expressing his real opinions on s--- - like the Who Knew s--- I quoted... he's always been liberal, he's always been anti-establishment and he's always critcized negelectful parents and adults, people with dumb, violent views, hypocrisy of conservative America etc. - which is the exact thing that he's doing now.
I swear some fans surprise me like... they never really got it, him, half his s---.

So who's bringin' the guns in this country? (Hm?)
I couldn't sneak a plastic pellet gun through customs over in London
And last week, I seen a Schwarzenegger movie
Where he's shootin' all sorts of these MFers with a Uzi
I see three little kids, up in the front row
Screamin' "Go" with their 17-year-old uncle
I'm like, "Guidance, ain't they got the same moms and dads

It’s Fox News. For you guys not in the States who are unaware they bash anybody who has a liberal point of view or is vocal about President Trump. Just like how they bashed Lebron a couple weeks ago and told him to “shutup and dribble”. Fox News is cringe. -

Why are you americans so obsessed about the idea of owning guns? -

The fact that school shootings aren’t taken seriously is America is unbelievable man. Like honestly, that’s shocking. -
Mar 13, 2018
Are you guys serious? Hes raising actual american issues and y'all are bashing him for it? So are you guys pro-school shootings and pro-police brutality? Thats basically what your defending here, his subject matter in songs he made over ten years ago is redundant, your telling me crooked i never talked about shooting guns, but he lost his s--- over trayvon martin ao is he a hypocrite for defending someone who was shot? The idiocracy in these posts is ridiculous take your focus off the past and stop comparing it because there wasnt as many school shootings, and police brutality cases when mmlp was made. It was a different era, different president, different laws, different companies in power, get with the times people. -

I don’t give a f--- if he’s a hypocrite, if he’s pro guns, pro gun control reform, or whatever, I just wish that for whatever message he’s trying to say to the public, he would do so with confidence, creativity, and be pleasing to the ears. His current s--- is just not very fun to listen to regardless of content.
Side note, somewhat on topic, I always loved how he ended Who Knew. I wish he could deliver his current message with catchy s--- like this.
How many r-----s'll listen to me
and run up in the school shootin when they're pissed at a
teach-er, her, him, is it you is it them?
"Wasn't me, Slim Shady said to do it again!"
d---! How much damage can you do with a pen?
Man I'm just as f----- up as you woulda been
if you woulda been, in my shoes, who woulda thought
Slim Shady would be somethin that you woulda bought
that woulda made you get a gun and s---t at a cop
I just said it - I ain't know if you'd do it or not -
