Eminem's Use Of "Faggot" Post-Comeback

[MikeNUFC]

I hate how he's just using it for the sake of it now.

The more he uses it for no reason, the more it takes something away from the genius way he used the word on MMLP, for me.

Listen to the way he uses it on Bitch Please II then on Underground, for example.

Post-comeback, it's just pointless and pretty much solely used for shock value, whereas in 2000 he was using it so cleverly with such great literary skill.

I totally agree with you.
As you said,in the past,there was a reason for every line that contained "faggot" in it,but now...now it's just for the sake of it.

He doesn't use it in Recovery so much!!
fucking faggots!!

[Bistnal]

^But everything post-Recovery seems to have it.
If feels forced like he wants the shock and hatred towards him that he had during 2000. Before, you could tell it was tongue in cheek and, well, as you said, had a purpose. Now, same with his constant misogyny in most everything post recovery, its done either because he has nothing to talk about or he's genuinely trying to be shocking and controversial and it's not working.

Just did a quick search - uses 'faggot' once, 'fag' twice and 'homo' once. So yeah, admittely not that much.

But post-Recovery has a fair amount in. Relapse has a few as well.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

he says alot on Cold Wind Blows.

he should use it more.

[HereHere]

It's cause it's just so edgy and cool! I didn't even notice he used it much post-Recovery actually, but that's cause the majority of the stuff released after Recovery has been shit so I haven't been listening.

Is this just another person finding something to bitch about he said faggot in only two songs on recovery and on relapse I could only think of one.

Who cares it part of his vocabulary. If you dont like the get the edited copy

[flyingmonkey10]

he's probably just using faggot more than he has to cuz he doesn't want to use n*gger/n*gga

[The Shady Virus]

he should use it more.

Jesus people bitch about the stupidest things,think of how freely people on this board use the word.Its a major slang word in todays society deal with it

His flow was to aggressive for people on Recovery,then it was to boring on 50 ways and the accent wasnt good either and on and on.I think people need to stop listening to him if he never does anything right in there minds

[Mikey1990]

he is also overusing bitch alot too

[Sam.]

it has become part of lyrical style and as we know he never compromises his style for nobody .

If there was a league table for rappers and the word 'faggot'... and you get 1 point everytime you mention it in a song, I don't think Eminem would be anywhere near the top of that league, would he?

I'm more bothered about the pointless swearing tbh, there is much more of that which isn't necessary.
