Did Eminem say N***a in 'Criminal?

[OutlawƎ]

"...So as I got older and I got a lot taller
My dick shrunk smaller, but my balls got larger
I drink more liquor to fuck you up quicker
than you'd wanna fuck me up for saying the word ... "

The ' ... ' are silent , did he say N***a but it was bleeped out like 'Columbine' and 'kids' in "I'm Back" ?

Nope, he just led the listeners to fill in the blank themselves. Obviously it's what he was going for and what he was referring to and the build up in those few bars definitely leads the listener to believe (the first time listening) that he's gonna say it.

Pretty awesome line...perfect track.

Aaah great . Thanks

I've always believed it was just implied.

Yeah, pretty genius little comedic moment to do that as well...

Others have already answered the original question but Em has def said Nigga in live performances of other songs, not that it matters really in that case.

One of my favorite Eminem lines honestly.
