He's just adding more on top, basically. I never liked him anyway, so this doesn't make it worse for me. Not so smart to p* off what's one of the most music-centred cities in the UK though. (And yeah, if I'd been a fan that'd have been where I'd tell him to F off. What with being a Mancunian myself and all. That bombing happened barely a mile from my front door.)

I'm offended by his "music" only in how it sounds, supporting sandbombers isn't a good thing but surely the man can affiliate with the people he wants.

If he starts funding them that's a problem.

That's not saying much considering how we only have a few cities, and half of them are oversized villages.

That's not saying much either considering how sensitive you are.

I liked his older stuff but his current stuff is more whiny. Still this isn't a surprise.

Agreed. Some folk need thicker skin.

This.

Its ironic to see how cancel culture went after Kevin Hart but has given a pass to a guy who spoke so disgustingly about gay people in his songs.

Eminem literally shaking in his grave.

He's just telling facts. But some people live in fantasy and ignore inconvenient truths so they can feel fake moral superiority.

That's a stupid statement, just because it's not good music doesn't mean it's not music

What's even your criteria? Is pop music? It's way less creative than rap with its simple mass produced beats. What about electronic? Is that not music because it's made on a computer?
