I got downvoted hard for calling out how hypocritical Reddit is with Eminem. Any time he does anything that looks a bit sketchy, rather than immediately grabbing their pitchforks they give him this grace period no one else ever seems to get.

Even now people are like “it’s ok they’re just friends”. That’s fine, but they can’t pretend this isn’t massively hypocritical lol.

He has always been a pos and Reddit turning a blind eye as usual

The guy is just an opportunist clinging to relevancy. People shouldn’t idolize these celebrities they don’t know at all.

Lets not pretend Eminem needs to cling to relevancy. A goat in the industry is always relevant. To be clear, this isn't speaking on the collab but rather your comment "cling to relevancy"

Eminem is the Prince of Michigan. Literally changed music forever and has done so more than once so he's going to remain relevant even after he dies. But I do agree would not idolizing celebs.

The real war is the top 0.1% vs the rest, the ultra wealthy are just polarizing the rest into thinking it's about left vs right.

Whenever you argue about abortions, the rich focus on stealing your money.

Whenever you argue about foreign policies, the rich focus on stealing your money.

Whenever you argue about gun laws, the rich focus on stealing your money.

It's no coincidence that Trump is a heavily polarizing president with utterly insane takes. It splits the people, it keeps them focused on left vs right. It keeps the limelight off the top 0.1%.
