Umm he’s been controversial for 25 years lol where they been?

Eminem had his days in the sun. I'd say let someone else takeover but modern hip hop pretty much all sucks.

Stupid til tokkkers, no one can mess with the M

Has that craving to be relevant again.

I don't understand the concept of a new rap song.

“cancel” him? What is this Fox News?

Eminem just shit on the whole scam 😂

This new generation has no respect for the older generations. That’s it!

Tik tok is for the crystal generation

Another has been trying to stay in the limelight

We do not want China to intervene in Burma’s internal affairs. As the Chinese Foreign Minister said at the UN meeting, it is Burma's internal affairs. No need China ShameOnYouChineseGovernment NoNeedToIntervene

Awww poor little things

These Gen Z twerps have parents who got knocked up listening to the last batch of lyrics inspired by people who tried to cancel Eminem 'I know you got a job miss Cheyney but your husbands heart problems complicating..'

Eminem has been fighting cancel culture that long his lyrics are probably the reason for cancel culture in the first place

Canceling Eminem over his “controversial” lyrics is like canceling TicTok users for using TicTok

His song 'Mocking Bird' was not very flattering to some of us.

48 yrs old still running around acting like some juvenile delinquent

Bahahaha. Like you don’t know who Eminem is.

Who?

this isn’t a new song dummies

TikTok is stupid..

Dude is a veteran of getting cancelled, congress couldn't stop him whatr tiktok kids gonna do

peoples power is starting to upset everybody.The black power, the tik tok user power.Dont give power to this people, they will ruin the world and democracy.states and companys have power,not people.People dont know what they want=caos!Destroying monuments, freedom of speech, etc.

If you screw with him, he’ll screw with you!

he keeps getting shat on by the lunatic left yet... he remains a lefty

that faction of TikTok users has to be from a much older generation

I don’t think anyone truly cared the first 10 times you posted this...

He wins

Saw this fool in 1998. The offensive music is nothing new. Please remove the rooster from your anal gland. My wet dream is Eminem on stage with Pearl Jam.

People are way too hyper-sensitive.

If the boomers couldn't cancel Em nobody can.

Tone Deaf was released on his Side B album in January. Well before TikTokers trying to cancel him even caught fire on the news. Not sure why they would call this new. In other words, this was not a direct response. We'll know when that happens, believe me lol

Maybe just don’t listen to him? I don’t like his stuff either, but whatever.

Everyone thinks Cancel Culture doesn't exist until they are suddenly the one getting canceled.

You posted that 3 hours ago... and didn’t change anything...

Young useless users no one cares about, they are so pathetic to go after Eminem

Good cancel! Much more worth our time to cancel him than Dr Seuss.

Fuck off with this artifical culture war being spurred on by the media for clicks. If I have to see another article about how X person is problematic and needs 'consequences' or how some brave billionare is standing up to cancel culture im gonna commit redacted.

Shady doesn’t give a fuck.

Give your life into forex investment, I have earn alot through the to hands of Olivia_m_mush I came across her not up to two weeks and I have earn what my mouths can say, I will forever grateful her...

Controversial lyrics is the definition of rap, WTF. Almost every rapper has controversial lyrics...

It SONG tic toc’ers..... on well done Eminem with the response of your new song.

Is there anything Gen Z ISN'T offended by?

Hey how about you don’t report on this stuff. A majority of America doesn’t care that some kids are all up set on TikTok.

People been trying to cancel him since his career began

silly rabbit

They found his words offensive! FFS! He’s an artist! If that offends that generation how are they going to cope with real issues; institutional racism, sexual inequality, famine, global warming, dictatorships, civil war, genocide. How the fuck would they cope with that shit?!?🤦🏼‍♀️

Terrible reporting

A rapper with controversial lyrics. No way!

Such a pussys era

Thank god this generation of weak ass losers wasn’t among us during WW 2...

Cancel culture will destroy humanity.

I haven’t seen a single TikTok about this song

God he’s fantastic. His Trump diss track was something else.

🐐

A generation of wussies. So sad.

“The hip-hop ballad, which features chart-topping artist Rihanna, describes the dangerous cycle of being trapped within an abusive relationship and the tug of war between love and hate that comes with it.“

The 🐐🐐

Nope - still cancelled.

Hey I for one don’t care. This is not news.

A lyrical video for one of his songs on his latest album. Not a brand new song.

This songs been out for months...

Not a new song, he released a new MV for an existing song

Wow that’s crazy

“Released a new song” 🤡🤡

Lol this song is terrible.

This song came out in 2020 on the album “Music To Be Murdered By”

Gen Z doesn’t respect hip hop. If they did they’d know that hip hop is built on saying and expressing things that the comfortable upper and middle class are ignorant too. They want watered down garbage that panders to there sheltered lives

This dude literally had congressional hearings about him.. government tried to cancel him.. good luck Tik Tok😂

Terrible reporting.. this song came out a month ago

Is this gonna start a Gen X vs Gen Y cancel war? Is that happening already? I can't keep track.

Idk why everyone comes after em? He isn’t they only artist with controversial lyrics. Is it cause he’s white? That why more people pay attention to him?

They should not listen if they don’t want to hear his stories in his music, it’s just that simple

Eminem released “Tone Deaf’ in 2020. If your author fact check them she needs another job.

The mouth of Tik Tok thought they could melt Eminem lol

This is on you, slim shady.

Haha haha. Good for him. Love you slim shady

He's a liberal, so no worries for him. He can say whatever he wants.

I think Eminem fans could shut down tik tok user's before they could even come close to canceling Eminem.

zoomers trying to cancel Eminem for shocking lyrics 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Don’t F with Em

Moo mooosa your not smiling WTF WHY NOT? MUAHS

Out of anyone in the world they think they could fight they choose the RAP GOD?

Proof that ANYBODY Anti Trump has different rules. He's a punk anyway. I'm kind of sick of his pill poppin shit.

The cancel culture. When I was their age it was the counter culture based on love, peace, and tolerance. These people are the most rigid, judgmental, unforgiving, cruel people Ive ever known. What assholes. Glee in destroying peoples lives is messed up folks. CancelCulture

Enough CancelCulture must end

God he’s a champ. No one is safe from him, not even his mother.

The song has been out for 2 months.

If y’all don’t like it so don’t listen to it .......

Says the “let’s eat tide pods on camera” generation 😂

It’s not a new song. The video is new.

Gen Z, you “can’t touch this”.

This cancel shit is getting outta hand. All to please one race group. I hate that shit

For years, whenever people complain about millennials I would always say that the generation after us is going to be much worse. Boy did they deliver.

Lolz 😂 Shit, the TikTokers are just like the PMRC in ‘85. Those who forget repeat. Eminem thanks u dummies for boosting his sales.

Fuck cancel culture

I loved Eminem until I listened to IAMTOMMACDONALD

OMG dude, how many times/songs does this make now? 'So the FCC won't let me be Or let me be me, so let me see They try to shut me down on MTV But it feels so empty without me -- So get ready, cause this shit's about to get heavy I just settled all my lawsuits. F*CK YOU DEBBIE'

'Survive in this climate of vaginas' Em That about sums up the participation trophy squad

Lol many have tried to cancel Eminem and failed. Dude went to win Grammys , movie that did very well and hits after hit lol

Bruh ALLLLLLL his songs have controversial lyrics

Good luck with that..Eminem like South Park and a select few are immune to cancellation.

🥱😴

Slim Shady is not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now

Tiktok promotes Sexual Abuse.

Bush II tried that once. He failed.

Ummm so it's eminem. Where have these people been? 🙄

Um...pretty sure these young tik tok users are our kids.

They aren’t the first ones to try...

He made a half hearted effort to be woke. He deserves this. But in reality we should just laugh at kids, not listening to them.

Wish Dr. Seuss could do the same with a new book....

He been here before- then made a song about it...

yet they quote the slang he invented everyday of their life. 'Stan'

First experience happens to be a total failure but I never give up because I knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately but now I am smiling by getting involved with you DavidLingleyBT

Love it

Good for him. This cancel culture...everything’s offensive bullshit is just that...bullshit.

This new generation gets offended way too easily...

Gen Z can’t handle Slim Shady because he wasn’t made for Gen Z. You little snowflakes are too soft and too sensitive an yall get your vaginas hurt over the least little thing. Oh wait im sorry for assuming vaginas idk wth yall got goin on or wanna be called LMFAO!

Do these people just want a worldfullof rainbows and butterflies? Give me a break. Eminem is a legend and the song is hilarious. “TikTok” users need to chill out and grow a spine.

I'll forego any critique of Gen Z, as they definitely don't recall the first 5 years of this guys career. They'll learn the futility just like everyone else did decades ago

Good luck. Wrong guy to try and cancel

As a Zilennial —- Gen Z who was born in 1997-98. I did not understand the whole commotion over why he was being cancelled.

Snowflakes' cancel culture must be stopped at all costs.

This is the problem with MSM sensationalizing athletes, actors and musicians. Regular people start to think of them as more than what they actually are, entertainers. They're not the ones we should be looking to for anything more than to be entertained.

Same generation that will stop eating M&Ms because it offends them...get the Fk over yourselves, you fkn jackasses

Let's not and say we didn't cancel him. He hates Orange Hitler!!!

I will take Eminem over the genZ generation every time. I never saw such a group of you hurt my feelings everyday. Get over yourselves you are not that important.

They should take on someone who has less of a flair for contempt.

Twitter cant rap

LOL thinking you can cancel Eminem of all people. He was literally the biggest artist in the world (1999-2004) when people were most outraged by him.

So I take it they’ll be cancelling 99% of all rappers then...

Eminem is the greatest

A world of stupidity is where we are now.

Geez-now I really feel old :(

I want to cancel the modern term “cancel”

they… tried to cancel EMINEM?

Rap is crap

The word and idea of 'cancelled' has been cancelled. Stop talking about this farce.

People been trying to cancel him since the first record lol good luck with that. That energy would be best spent exposing politicians and power centers rather than random musicians you don't like.

They literally use the word “Stan” but want to ban the guy who’s song they unknowingly are referencing far too often

The *hilarious* part of this is that the song that sparked the backlash was 'Love the Way You Lie' and not, like, 'Kill You' or 'Kim' or 'Guilty Conscience.'

I’ve been listening to this track since early January.

“Cancel” is such a cringe word. Y’all realize how many fans he has?

Lol can’t cancel Eminem ever! These joggers just jealous again!

They been trying to cancel him since the 90s good luck with that as he keeps going platinum lol

Leave em alone his music isn't anymore controversial then any other rapper stop hate on him get over yourselves go em 💯

Those little softies wouldn't have survived the 80s and 90s.

He fell for the bait💀

Denuncio; estoy siendo bloqueado por completo en mis telefonos celulares. Me manipulan WhatsApp Facebook instagram y bloquean gmail soy FJMV, candidato a la presidencia de Colombia y me encuentro en Guayaquil, Ecuador. Necesito ayuda. JoeBiden CNN AP dwnews FBIWFO THR

Fuck these weak ass kids.

Fucking whiny ass dude chicks and their pansy ass feelings.

Mysoginistic lyrics are OK in rap. Evidently.

The song was two months old.

A generation of wussies. So sad.

tryna cancel eminem better chance getting vomit out your sweater

These little shits have no idea that in 20 years THEY will be the shame of their population.

It wasn't new

Gen Z done gone too damn far now.

This generation couldn’t handle 2000s Em😂😂😂😂
