I think I might just do somethin' a little less subtle, Shove a fuckin' Tonka truck up a little kid's butthole

A real lyric from Eminem.

Case closed.

Eminem's raps were jokes, kid rocks were serious Almost all of Eminem's earlier music was gags. Your just grasping at straws here

I dunno...from a data perspective they both have said some fucked up shit back in the day and is now being dragged up into today's modern views.

Im an M fan and never cared for kid rock but I dont see how this is different. M can rap about rape and murder and ingesting millions of drugs while setting building in fire ect. He went everywhere during his prime.

So how is one joking but not the other? Either they both fucked up or they both joking. 🤷

Or, one is joking and the other isn't 🤷‍♂️ Even back on the day, it seemed clear Em was more in a theatrical shock/horror style while Kid Rock seemed more just gross. Even in Guilty Conscience, when Em raps about an underage girl, it's in the context of the bad side of the character's mind. Kid Rock is just saying it from his own perspective with no indication it's a character or even something clearly wrong. It's just, "yeah, I do this".
