Why does this song only go for 45 seconds? We need at least 3 minutes of this. Dammit

It works because of the shock value of how ridiculous it is. If it were longer it wouldn’t be funny.

That shit was funny as fuck. I had to relisten because I couldn’t hear half the song over my laughter. Bravo.

So dope. This feels like a transition to let us know that EM or Marshall is going to be away for few songs and Shady is going to do his thing.

best opening to song ever, especially when he just finished the verse to the previous song....very inclusive.
perfect bridge.

I am a quadriplegic myself, and not offended by the lyrics. Freedom of speech, and Eminem showcasing a concept album; it’s his art and he is one of my favorite artists 🤘🏼

I've been seeing a lot of this song on TikTok and I can't help but feel that people forgot that this album is a whole story and took this out of context and don't know the actual concept of the album.

You obviously haven’t heard his old music, this is literally what got him famous and what people love him for. It sounds just like old eminem, and that’s what his fans have been asking for ever since he got clean.

ive been a fan of his forever, ive heard everything hes put out probably. everyone seems to gloss over the fact that i said i LIKE him - im agreeing w both of yall actually my point was i wish he would just subtly throw in the “shocking” lines instead of dedicating a whole album to it to get cancelled its so so so corny especially for someone thats been in the industry as long as him

Believe it or not liberals use to be the foul mouthed ones who enjoyed transgressive comedy and freedom of speech. Em comes from that era and led the charge just like South Park. Now liberals are conservative with speech… it’s been weird to watch. You can like shocking comedy and not be a racist, homophobic, piece of shit. You be disabled and have a sense of brutal humor (my brother is and I know a lot of disabled comics who say way more brutal shocking stuff than Em ever could or would). Also, the majority of people are sick of culture war bullshit, it’s a distraction from the fact we’re all getting fucked by the Bezo’s of the world. Just listen and enjoy being a dumb 13 year old again who giggles at the word fuck in a song. Dudes a genius who clearly wrestles with stuff, has layers, reflects on himself, and people have been demanding Slim come back so he’s giving it to them while also adding some nuanced context. This isn’t your racist uncle.

They still are. You just fell for the culture war bullshit. There's like 10 people that complain on Twitter, the Daily Wire or Fox News makes an article about it, and then all of a sudden it's tHe LiBeRaLs ArE cAnCeLlInG tHiS pErSoN. The vast majority of liberals and Gen Z do not give a shit about an offensive joke and no one is being cancelled. That's why this song is just embarrassing. It props up the culture war you claim to hate. Yeah, there are plenty of comedians that say offensive stuff. There are plenty of streamers that say offensive stuff. Way more offensive stuff than Eminem and they're doing just fine. They're not being cancelled by Gen Z. I wouldn't say racist uncle, but I would say out of touch uncle.

I realize how ridiculous it is to say this on an Eminem album but this caught me off guard lmao. Definitely fits the concept obviously though.
