Being from the same state as Eminem–I have a love/hate relationship with him. On the one hand, I love seeing somebody from home succeed, on the other hand…DAYMN. Does he have to be such an offensive asshole?

Here’s his latest song/video (pissed off trigger warning–I’m not kidding when I say that this video will more than likely piss you off, don’t watch unless you’re ready for it!):

Eminem gets just enough disparaging mocking stuff on himself that I think we’re all supposed to laugh and not *truly* be offended. And honestly, I think that I would be not *truly* offended if it weren’t for the image of the woman being shoved through the grinder. I know he is referencing this old Hustler cover (NSFW and potentially triggering)–but frankly, there are some things that just never should be referenced except in a disparaging sense. Especially given the fact that women are being murdered in his own home state. It’s one thing to make fat jokes and gross druggie jokes, it’s another thing all together to introduce a whole new generation of men to the idea that violence against women is a joke or “ironic” or hip.

And on a side note, I notice that Eminem hasn’t had much to say about how domestic violence is treated within the hip/hop community. And it’s not like women in the hip/hop community haven’t demanded that domestic violence be addressed. And frankly, until Eminem can see fit to support the female hip/hopers out there, he can take his “irony” and his “sarcasm” and shove it.
