Yeah no his albums still sold well and people actually liked the newest oneA pathetic attempt at capturing some of his former glory. His audience grew up and moved on.
That eminem brand is strong even after a spotty discography

This is largely why I don't listen to Eminem, also I didn't listen to his album but I'm not surprised to hear he used a homophobic slur.
The only other rapper who have used it in the last few years were Tyler, The Creator and J. Cole. Both rubbed me the wrong way too and I was disappointed by J. Cole's use of it.
Was just reading some articles about Eminem apologizing for calling Tyler the Creator a f*ggot on his new album and it's wild to me that a major, global rap megastar still uses this word. I don't usually check for Eminem so I only found out about this now, but I really thought he had moved past this type of behaviour. He's 40-something and it's 2018. This is not some problematic teenage SoundCloud rapper, it's fucking Eminem. Like holy shit...
With the exception of T-Pain, these are all rappers that either currently in their prime or have some huge brand to protect. People that used homophobic lyrics didn't just flip a switch overnight. They made a business a decision.Kendrick Lamar
Kanya West
Vic Mensa
Jay-Z
Lil B
ASAP Rocky
Childish Gambino
Drake
T-Pain
Nicki Minaj
Are all artists that have either supported the LGBT community or have changed for the better. Why are people allowing Em to stay the same? The dude has not matured musically nor lyrically.
Ok I will probably get a warning or be banned outright for saying this but rap music have used these unfortunate terms very often and is still used, some of the best rap music have bad language it's a generational thing more than anything else.
I am also not advocating for using the word since it is offensive but rap music has in its own way always been offensive.
As a 90's kid who remembers when Dre and Eminem got big there was a ton of people who wanted their music outright banned because of it's offensive nature.

Because people don't care that's the real answer. It's same reason why many people in Hip Hop can call woman not-so-nice things and get away with it
He didn't call Tyler the Creator a "F*ggot bitch".
I'm only talking about this song, but clearly most people who are responding never even listened to the song or looked up the lyrics.
Eminem says:
"Tyler create nothing', I see why you called yourself a f*ggot, bitch" since Tyler the Creator called himself that in his own song.
He isn't homophobic, one of his good friends is Elton John.
.......seriously?
Oh, shit. Nevermind then. That's on me for still having some faith in people -__-I fear you're being too optimistic: https://www.resetera.com/posts/12734556/
Ah so it's fine then, guess now I can say the n word cause I have a black friend

Yeah, don't get me wrong I think Eminem is one of the greatest artists alive and he has some touching songs (Headlights for example). However he should never be your moral compass. A lot of his lyrics can be insulting or contain foul language.Isn't this what rappers do though. They promote drugs, the call women bitches whores sluts, they lagh at people with disabilities, they're homophobic, they promote violence and talk about carrying/using guns
