The controversial line from the 2010 song says that Eminem would tie his girlfriend to their bed and set the house on fire if she ever tried to leave him again.
One TikToker shared a clip of her listening to the song with the caption, Yes, lets cancel him. The clip has been liked more than 120,000 times.
Another shared the same line of the song with the caption, No wonder Im toxic I grew up listening to this song.

Meanwhile, millennials have argued that they too grew up listening to Shadys music, and think that they turned out fine.
Tiktoker @bmotheprince shared a video of him acting out both perspectives, where, as a member of Gen Z, he says Eminems lyrics are terrible and that they wouldnt be OK if they were released now.
The millennial version claps back by saying Gen Z are a mumble rap generation and that they were raised screaming Emienm lyrics throughout grade school.

Stop reading sensationalist articles and Twitter trends asking you to go to war with the generation closest to your own demographic. Millenials and Gen Z are in the same boat economically. This is divide and conquer bullshit asking you to pay your attention to petty non issues like this.

Eminem's not even relevant who cares if some TikTok thots don't like him. His audience is male anyway. I'm saying this as a post-2000 Gen Z

What kind of idiot even says "they wouldn't be ok if they were released now" about Eminem lyrics? The point even then was that they were offensive and there's a ton of music still coming out that's just the same.

Dumbass kids.

Nah man everything was different 20 years back. Most people set fire to their house with a partner in it at some point.

It was music we could all relate too. Just memories of a simpler time when murder and abuse were a part of everyones day to day life.

People tried to cancel Eminem when he first stated out but that failed. He even wrote a song that kind of deals with it called Way I am. Canceling Eminem will never happen.

But being cancelled today is different from being cancelled from the past.

Back then it was Christian followers and soccer moms that wanted to cancel him. Now it's Zoomers who wants to cancel him and they have the power of social media!

Lmao. If that line is offensive, they better avoid his first 4 albums like the plague.

Edit: Hell, in Rap God, he references Columbine because he knew they wouldn't stop him compared to the early 2000's

Yeah, Eminem based a number of his hit songs on the theme of being uncancelable. Trying to cancel Eminem is kind of like trying to read with your eyes closed.

you can read with your eyes closed though.

The guy's been one of the mostprogressive voices in music, especially the rap scene. Slim Shady is old as Hell now and he even voiced gay rights in that song. If anything, I believe his more recent music has been about undoing alot of the negative shit in his music of the past. For example, in Headlights, he calls out his mother, telling her that she's still beautiful to him and regret of Cleaning Out My Closet. This was in 2014.

He has a badboy persona as he is, but the guy's clearly not a bad guy..... or not a bad guy anymore in the blunt of it all. I feel most of it is the character of who he portrays as, and I think lately, he's been trying to send a more positive message.

For that reason, I don't think he should be canceled. People who realize the bad they have done and look to fix it are heroes. No one is perfect.
