Dumbest Eminem Criticism

[MikeNUFC]

Well the whole Slant review of MMLP is dumb as fuck (they obviously hate Em) but this bit is especially stupid:

When accused of being homophobic, his comeback reeks of ignorance: "Nah, you're just heterophobic".

How can someone miss the point that badly? I mean really? They literally explained why that lines clever (accusations of him being homophobic were ignorant and stupid, so he'll just respong ignorantly and stupidly) yet they criticised it for that exact reason.

I dont know how the reviewer can call himself a human being.

LOL, that's the same reviewer I brought up a few days ago. It was a praise of TES, but apparently White America ends with a "safe apologia". Made the whole review instantly worthless. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of writers like that around: Quite dense but think they're really smart. And for them someone like Eminem is "vulgar" and "trash", so obviously what he does must be taken at face value, since someone they perceive as a working class lowlife can't be capable of irony, sarcasm and subtlety.

It's really, really disgusting. And then they have the gall to say that Eminem is the one perpetuating ugly stereotypes when they can't even be bothered to take him seriously and just use him as a springboard for their own hypocrisy, classism and holier-than-thou attitude.

It is easy to misunderstand him. It doesn't necessarily mean you are stupid.

Anyone who thinks Eminem was being serious with that line is stupid.

It is easy to misunderstand him. It doesn't necessarily mean you are stupid.

It is when you write a review about it and criticise the album because of it.

So we disagree. That is fine.

Mainstream reviewers reviewing rap music is pointless.

soo true.

The entire direction of the song is blatantly obvious once you've heard the intro. Maybe they just zoned out while he was saying it?

If that's not enough, you get an audible scoff from him after he says the first two bars.

Not to mention the "half the shit I say I just make it up, to make you mad" line.
