    Default And then the Woke Puritans came for EMENEM

    Part of the problem is that Eminem delivers the “Love the Way You Lie” refrain with such conviction, which makes it appear that he genuinely espouses such violent acts.

    But does he really mean it? Rihanna called the track “authentic and real” and added that Eminem pretty much broke down the cycle of domestic violence in the song. That’s a description of role-playing to highlight a societal problem, though Eminem is now being held accountable for the lyrical refrain as if he’s advocating the actions themselves.

    The ripples are just getting started here, though the attempted cancellation is already drawing some pushback. A number of users (on TikTok and elsewhere) are questioning whether Eminem deserves such a sharp rebuke. Over the course of his career, the rapper has been synonymous with controversial lyrics and the personification of problematic characters — but does it make sense to cancel the career of a rapper that depends on controversy and having haters to be successful?

    Over the span of roughly two decades, Eminem has taken the shock-jock approach to rap, with many of his albums featuring overt references to violence and sexism. But Eminem’s lyrics have been controversial on purpose. As a result, attempted cancellations have been routine for the past twenty years. Now, the question is whether the younger TikTok generation can actually cancel the rapper — something Eminem’s been immune to in the past.

    “Gen Z really trying to cancel Eminem? Stop. You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into,” one person writes on Twitter.

    Out of all the things that he has done this is what they use to take Marshall down?

    And after all he has done in recent years to promote his Woke bonafides?

    Its the intolerance even as they believe that they are paragons of virtue that is the problem.

    The Woke are thugs, Regressives, abusers, intellectual terrorists.

    And honest....truth used to be a universally agreed defense when one is charged with speaking offensive ideas....no more.

    The puritans have always demanded that the Universe be scrubbed and sanitized.

    One look at the feud between Enema and Moby shows you quite clearly that Enema is really pretty much a violent thug.

    Rap = Adult themed nursery rhymes recited to sampled music...

    Pretty funny to read these articles that Gen Z is trying to cancel him and Millennials are pushing back. I mean should the whole gangsta rap genre be cancelled too?

    It seems that rappers always end up dead.

    Surely only those who dared to rap while white need to worry.

    Speaking of dead rappers it reminds me of Eazy-E’s line in the song Still Talkin “So I slapped the ho like a pimp. I might be a woman beater but I’m not a p*ssy eater...”

    Wonder how much love that line would get today. Haha.

    Nothing to do with race. Others tried to cancel him before and he just laughed all the way to the bank. Same thing will happen here. Expect a good dis track to come from this.

    IDK, I have not found him either honorable or compelling in years.

    Hope he doesn't get shot on his way to the bank.

    It’s been awhile since he was at the peak of his fame but people tried to cancel him multiple times along the way. Controversy sells as we all know and he milked it well.

    Now that I think about it "Love the way you lie" is the last thing of his that I have heard that I have liked.

    That was over a decade ago.
