Eminem did this a lot with Dr. Dre songs and people only seemed to have mild interest with it


This is verifiably false and Eminem makes it a point to never say it.

What I meant was that at concerts he has been recorded saying the word while performing along with Dre songs/hooks

Because the one time he did, he did apparently use it in a negative way. He doesn't want to repeat that mistake.

Of course not. Context is everything. Saying n***** (or "n****", ugh) is totally fine as long as you aren't using it as hate speech, so quotes (which songs fall under) are totally fine.

I thought this was like, notoriously known to be the other way around? That he said it once before way early in his career and it came back to bite him later in the ass? Don't matter to me either way, just have heard different before.

And I really don't sing along with songs much at all, so nah, I don't do it. I personally think no one should use it, and it's a tad bit hypocritical if someone has an issue with it but will say it in a song, but this topic is tiring to have every week or so.


Yeah, Eminem doesn't say it. He even edited it out in Criminal. Or maybe the FCC did, but whatever. He don't say it. Not that he couldn't, but I respect the fact that he doesn't.

if a black person calls you racist apologize

if someone who isn't black does it, tell them it would be racist to censor the artists words

It gets a little weird when white people pick songs that maximize the number of n-words at karaoke and make sure to pause and emphasize each one.

That would be hilarious to witness

Not at all

If black people were so concerned about it then maybe they shouldn't put it in their songs at all

Honestly, this would save a lot of strain.
