    Well these lyrics wouldn’t go down too well..

    “My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
    That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a f-- or lez
    Or a homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
    Pants or dress, hate f--s? The answer's yes”

    The SJW’s would have a field day with those lol it’d be hilarious, despite what he actually says in the intro

    One of my fav Em tracks of all time

    It would be hilarious to see the "outrage" by all the "offended"

    it went kinda bad at the time, I can only imagine how it would be in this p---- whipped world now

    Classic track.

    This p---- society we live in today would lose their s--- if that were released in 2017.

    If only he still had the creativity to put out a goat track like this.

    There was articles being written when Rap God was released because of the little homophobic references in that.

    So god only knows what s--- the lyrics in Criminal would cause today lol.

    I dont know he used a good amount of homophobic stuff on Rap God and it sort of went unnoticed. Maybe with the fast flow it wasn't as in your face though.

    Just realized he used "get it" way back on this track.
    "And I was just checkin' the mail. Get it? checkin' the male."
    "I'm ready for combat man! Get it? Calm Batman"
    And for some reason it doesn't bother me at all on Criminal

    I dunno man the media did give him a lot of bad press about it, not to the level of protesting like before lmao..It was especially for the line

    “I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table
    Over the back of a couple of fa----s, and crack it in half”

    'Hate f--s, the answer's yes'

    Can't really be more in your face than that!

    Honestly think that it would get wall to wall coverage and he'd be banished from the mainstream.

    It's all tongue in cheek though. One of the greatest tracks in his career.

    That's because he made fun of that by saying "get it?".

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Barely any different.

    There's barely any difference between now and 2000.

    If anything it would be more accepted / no fuss.
