    depends on why he's calling Trump a b---- though. he hasn't said "Trump's a b---- for sexually assaulting women/degrading women!" at that point it would be considered heavily hypocritical imo

    regardless, like CA said it's not like Eminem is actually going out and assaulting woman while Trump has been accused of doing that multiple times. Eminem is saying what he's saying for entertainment. and he's not the president of the united states lol

    I guess it all depends on how you wanna look at it.

    Exactly what I said. 'If he means that'.

    And yeah but that line only has one purpose and that is controversy. Eminem probably doesn't even know trump is the potus lol

    I just think the Trump line sucks because it's boring. Is there anything less imaginative he could have said about an unpopular president? It's not funny, insightful, or memorable in any way, and that pisses me off cause his sheep fans are probably shi--ing themselves over it.

    Fair. I guess in my view there are reasons to commit acts of violence in certain cases, but never a reason to r--- someone. I just think rapping about raping someone is super lame/childish and in poor taste pretty much 100% of the time.

    Mostly I was just talking s--- about how lame Marshall is

    Lol, the line was pretty straightforward, yet very few people got it. "Trump's a b----" isn't the line, but only a part of it. The entrie line was:
    1.Him attacking trump's brand as a celebrity, his image
    2.Him considering himself not answerable to the president. It's him putting himself above the government.

    "Your man don't want it? Trump's a b----!, I'll make his whole brand go under"
    This follows the line directly before about being anti government.

    It's funny how people who claim to have qualifications in english can't do simple interpretations.

    But @BigCountry i'll concede that it's you not caring enough to pay attention.

    Yeah I tend to agree. I'm making too much of a minor point. The lameness of r--- lyricism or Eminem shouldn't be conflated with Trump. Him getting called a b---- by a high profile rapper - after years of having his ego fed by call outs from Nelly etc - is (on its face) a good thing.

    In other words, in a certain light, hip hop is culpable for Trump. Goes beyond Ye at Trump Tower.

    I'm not confused about the trump line...I don't think anyone is? You are right, it's very straightforward and not interesting or insightful.

    Then why the bs conflations with women?
    This is either you confusing the meaning of the line. Or getting what it means and intentionally being fallacious about it.

    Interesting? Subjective. I'd say it is.He threatened the potus, by saying he'll attack his brand. The average rapper's line filler isn't much more interesting or insightful (something about getting money?). I'm not saying it's this fantastic and complex line, but i don't see why you need to undermine it so much. It's alot more interesting than 90% of what you hear otherwise.

    "trump's a b----" isn't even a third of the entire line. Why is it being isolated and treated like the line itself. Obviously those three words on their own don't even have much meaning.
    Stop being a d-ck and read what i said.

    stop being an autistic r----- and defend your opinion.
    "trump is a b----"
    how is that interesting?
    no he called him a b----. it's an empty threat at the very best, but it's really not a threat. it's name-calling and it's not interesting because if you look up donald trump hastags on twitter their are millions saying the exact same thing.

    so for the 3rd f---ing time, how is it interesting at all?

    you just said the line "trump is a b----" is interesting, then when questioned about it, you add like 6 more words to the line. so now we're discussing
    ok so how is this interesting then?

    because he said he'll make Trumps brand go under? he said similar about Bush in Mosh in 2001. see what happened from that? nothing. so how is this interesting?
