Audio After The Jump
What would a new Eminem album be without some controversial lyrics? Past lyrical punching bags include Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, his we-wife Kim Mathers, his mother, Benzino, Ja Rule, Everlast and Insane Clown Posse to name a few.
The rap superstar already has some critics up in arms over a song that appears on his forthcoming album, SHADYXV. The track is entitled "Vegas." On it he threatens to sexually assault Iggy Azalea.
“So swallow my pride you’re lucky just to follow my ride/ If I let you run alongside the Humvee/ Unless you’re Nicki, grab you by the wrist, let’s ski/ So what’s it gon’ be? Put that shit away Iggy/ You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it. ‘Fore I get lost with the gettin’ off," Slim spits.
We may now live in a time when everyone is walking on egg shells trying to make sure they don't say anything to offend, but Eminem has proven time and again he could care less what people think. This is the same guy who kills his ex-wife on wax.
"Here I'll scream with you, ah, somebody help!/ Don't you get it bitch, no one can hear you/ Now shut the fuck up and get what's coming to you/ You were supposed to love me/ Now bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed," he raps on the 2000 song "Kim."
So, before everyone gets their panties in a bunch over "Vegas" remember the past history of the person who wrote it. If you're foolish enough to believe Eminem condones rape, I suggest you never listen to any of his music because he's sure to offend you again in the future.
SHADYXV arrives in stores on November 24.
**UPDATE** November 21
