      Not a huge Eminem fan so I might be wrong but afaik he’s got some homophobic lyrics but he’s not actually homophobic. At least I remember Elton John defending him and calling him a friend and telling a story about Eminem buying cock rings for him and his husband or something.

      The way I understood it, it was more a diss to all other rappers in the sense that Eminem is the only one who can still make it sound good, even though it is homophobic and therefore wrong.

    I was popular in college because I was good at coming up with parody lyrics for songs on the spot. The thing I didn’t tell people is that the “parody” lyrics were just the first thing my brain came up with before it actually processed the words enough to figure out the real lyrics.

    Depends how far back you go in rap history. In the 90s and earlier, even otherwise thoughtful rap often snuck in a dig at the gays, and openly gay rappers could only work in house music.
