Eminem Speaks on Anti-Gay Lyrics off 'Rap god'

From inception of his career, Eminem has always been know to bash gay people with his lyrics. But, after Relapse (2009), we had a more mature Eminem on Recovery (2010). I guess Eminem going back to being a blonde has brought back 'Slim Shady.' He has some disrespectful lyrics aimed at gay people in his 'Rap god' song, which leaked off his 'Marshall Mathers LP 2' album two weeks ago. He has been attacked on twitter by a lot of people, and musician, Boy George (who is openly gay) is one of the many faces that went at Eminem.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Eminem spoke on his stance on the whole issue.



"I don't know how to say this without saying it how I've said it a million times. But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin' or whatever, I never really equated those words," Em said in an interview. "Yeah. It was more like calling someone a b*tch or a punk or a**hole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then [worrying about] what may or may not affect people. And, not saying it's wrong or it's right, but at this point in my career - man, I say so much sh*t that's tongue-in-cheek. I poke fun at other people, myself. But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all." (Rolling Stone)






And below are the lyrics that caused the whole pandemonium. 

"Little gay-looking boy / So gay I can barely say it with a straight face-looking boy / You witnessing massacre like you watching a church gathering taking place-looking boy / 'Oy vey, that boy's gay,' that's all they say looking-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go from your label every day-looking boy."
