Eminem is back with plenty to say, as usual.

On Friday, the controversial rapper released a new collaboration with Kid Cudi, "The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady," featuring plenty of topical lyrics ranging from the coronavirus pandemic to Black Lives Matter.

"That's New Orleans (what?) / f--- Drew Brees," Eminem raps at the start of his verse, referencing the New Orleans Saints quarterback who drew backlash for suggesting that NFL players shouldn't kneel in protest of racial injustice.

He then goes in on COVID-19, specifically calling out people who choose not to wear masks to help slow the spread of the virus and thereby endanger others.

"Don't wanna wear a mask and they're just scoffing," he raps. "And that's how you end up catching the s--- off 'em / I just used the same basket as you shopping / Now I'm in a f------' casket from you coughin'."

Eminem ends his verse by offering up "prayers" for George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, two unarmed black men whose deaths sparked nationwide protests over police brutality.

"How the f--- is it that so many cops are dirty? (huh?)" he says. "Stop, man, please, officer, I'm sorry / But I can't breathe when I got you on top of me / Your g------ knee's on my carotid artery."

The "Lose Yourself" artist debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in January with his 11th album "Music to Be Murdered By." He also celebrated the 20th anniversary of his seminal album, "Marshall Mathers LP," in May.

EDIT: My dumb self forgot to add the video in the thread.
Ah well, it probably wouldn’t have made a difference.

I notice he's not wearing a mask in that promo shot. Hope it was captured by time-delay camera -- you know, for safety's sake!

 

[Twinkletard]

I can think of no bigger sellout

That photo is like three years old.

As funny as that is, that photo was taken during 2017 when he made Revival, an album that is largely considered to be his worst. Even Eminem’s own fanbase didn’t like him being political at one point.

These people have become everything they were supposed to be replacing.

Eminem was so cool back when I was 13

The most embarrassing part of this story is that Eminem did a collab with Kid Cudi.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

I will not wear a mask,
I will not eat the bugs,
I will not work in a cage,
I will not not live in a pod.

That Kids See Ghosts collab album with Kanye was pretty interesting.
I do have to give Cudi some credit here.

"The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady,"

oy vey, he's dog whistling

It's like 2020 John Stockton playing a pickup game with the drunk hobo down at the bus stop

John has been coaching women's basketball and looking at the roster of artists that Eminem has hired over the years I think the comparison is fitting.

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

He's become that shitty aunt who kills your buzz and ruins your party. What a shame.

It's amazing what a washed up faggot Eminem has become. I guess when you're nearing 50 years old, sober, and living in a mansion with your daughters, you can't really honestly rap about being a white trash drug addict in a Detroit trailer park anymore.

If only the album was anything like what I pictured in my head.

I got real into NIN again recently after for whatever retarded reason for stopping for the past decade and I realized why I'm enjoying Trent's new music compared to everyone else I grew up liking: he acts his age much like Bowie did and didnt try to play the same character he was in his 20's like Marshal keeps doing.

 

[The Great Citracett]

I know Moonman.

And these two washed-up mask cucks are no Moonman.

 

[PotatoSalad4711]

I seem to remember some old lyrics...
“Fuck you too bitch, call the cops
I'mma kill you and them loud-ass motherfucking barking dogs
And when the cops came through
Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house
With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches
And still weren't found out“

Ahhh, simpler times...

Also, fuck you Eminem, Brees is a better man than you in every possible way.

In the last few months, for me, The Downward Spiral seems to be a lot more relevant than anything Eminem rapped about. I’m not even just talking about Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show.

Interesting that you should mention that because Trent worked with Bowie in the late 90’s. Here’s one song in particular that’s still relevant:
