I remember when the ‘shock man’ was Eminem, he was soooooo anti-establishment. Now he’s a solid part of them - but it seems like they’re now going to have to take their own medicine. Are you going to shut down this rapper? How well do you think that will go down? It’ll just make him a legend.

...they didn’t see him coming. I’m no fan of this genre but I’ll take it, he hits the left with blow after blow and exposes their idiocy.

It’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds...if they try to tighten their grip it’ll have the opposite effect. There’s a reason this is #1, if they shut him down it’ll just amplify the desire for more.

“But I can’t tolerate that tripe.”

Ignore the message and shoot the messenger.

That’s a great strategy.

From another song of his:
“Bacteria is life on Mars, but a heartbeat isn’t life on earth?”

He’s reaching a bigger audience than we are. I’m okay with the medium he chose.

Let’s face it, the same old ‘White Bread’ won’t cut it talking to low life’s.

This guy’s message will waft right through the transom of those who need to hear it.

And banning it? Perfect! Everyone will seek it out.

” This guy better have some really sweet entrepreneurial skills cuz he is never getting a real job. Theres always the circus....”

That sentiment held true 40 years ago when a Circus was a Circus. Today all of society is a circus and this guy is the new normal.

Actually, he is making bank and has no record label, cashes all the checks himself. See a need and fill it.

Well, good for him. If he can pull that off, he has something
on the ball.

Not my style of music at all, but it is catchy.

There are also some lines I’d dissent from, but overall, it is a powerful song, as are some of his others.

It’s also interesting watching some of the ‘reaction’ videos.

Go back and look at some of his earlier songs. Some of them are pretty strong too.

This song has a pretty good shot at Eminem as well.

There’s also “White Boy”, “People So Stupid”, Politically Incorrect”...

He’s been putting this stuff out for a couple of years.

Good. I’m sure his lyrics would be appreciated by folks
who wouldn’t give us the time of day.

Some of these songs are kind of rough, but there’s a lot in many.
