    Eminem was vocally against the Iraq war back when it was unfashionable.

    He's a supreme lib and all round awful, misogynistic, homophobic, person.

    There's no point cancelling him because he hasn't been relevant in years.

        The only reason anyone cares is because of 8 Mile. He would have been 100x less relevant if that movie never came out.

          The only reason anyone cares about 8 Mile is because he was an extremely successful musician. 8 mile was literally just “Eminem: The Movie.”

          That movie only got made because the Marshall Mather's LP sold like 3 million copies in a week. Eminem was absolutely massive before 8 Mile.

            You're right. The movie definitely introduced him to a more diverse audience of suburban mom's and dads though. My parents didn't know about Eminem until they saw the movie lol. It kinda gave him a presence beyond just his mediocre rap.

        He's a good technical rapper, but that's about it. There's no soul or flow to what he does.

        He had some good underground / mix tape stuff going around in the Napster days. Just crazy off the wall shit. Not into the new stuff when he started changing his cadence and style.

      definitely agree. it's apparently a topic that keeps popping up recently on tiktok or other tween platforms. i've seen some variation of "you cannot cancel Eminem he is irrelevant" post for the last couple weeks cause of that shit

        This is because its pretty clearly a publishers attempt to get into the 'cancel culture' grift. I mean the hashtag is the #CanceltheRapper. Who the fuck thinks of Eminem as 'The Rapper' who isn't some sort of chud or proto-chud. All the stories are ticky tacky small things. There is no real collective movement and yet articles keep coming. It smells of grift.

    I think he has even come out and said the only reason he got big because he was a white person rapping so people didn't need to feel rascist towards him and his work

    I mean fuck Eminem, but also I do think a lot of white people think dragging him wins them brownie points with black people, which is dumb because he actually has a pretty sizable black fan base.

    Will this kill a 190-pound person or will it just make them extremely uncomfortable? Asking for a friend.

      Idk if it will kill, but it could really fuck up your kidneys which would be extremely unpleasant (and maybe expensive) to deal with.

        Is it the caffeine that does that, or the B-vitamins, or something else?

          Umm, not sure. Mostly that I've heard of it happening, but I guess that was from prolonged excessive use. I'm guessing that the B vitamins are not the main culprit, afaik they get professes by the kidneys but you pee out the excess without damage.
