I live his music but if that's what's in his new track, completely poor taste.

It’s definitely not in good taste.

Eminem has a track record for his lyrics, especially his early stuff.

I love his music and think the slim shady days were his best but it’s a bit of a low blow to reference terrorist attacks.

Eminem, the nearly half-a-century old white rapper? He probably uses offensive lyrics in an attempt to stay relevant, which he really hasn't been for many years.

Of course it's in poor taste, it's disgusting. But the outrage has had the desired effect which is publicity. I'd forgotten he existed until I saw this.

What makes it disgusting? I'm asking seriously.

Is it too soon?

Is it okay to talk about World War bombings but not recent ones ?

Jack the Ripper murders but not recent ones ?

Is it the timing that makes it bad ?

I’ve never liked the genre as I think a lot of the lyrics are dreadful and it doesn’t appeal musically either. Leaves me cold at best.

I don't think talking about any of that in a song is ok and is pretty disgusting

Eminem says something completely unacceptable but society the way it is now will need to hear it for themselves to join in the rage and every time someone streams it to hear the offending lyrics he makes money.

Best ignore this has been and he’ll disappear

I think it’s the way he has used the lyrics more than the words themselves. But I guess you have a point because there were examples of all of those in songs that I didn’t have the same visceral reaction to.

I think it was close to home as my son had friends caught in the bombing

Comedians are often accused of the same thing. I suppose it depends what you think the function of comedy and popular music is.

Some have said it's no worse than a comparison to 'I don't like Mondays' by The Boomtown Rats, which is said to be a classic by some?

I think it's not as its said in a disgusting context by Eminem.

I think like all rap, it’s a rhyme to make you think. And is what’s relevant in the news at the time. Like when biggie rapped about the world trade etc. I rate him and he is an extremely clever wordsmith.

I think you have to interpret it in the right way, on the surface it might seem like it’s in poor taste but there’s also a track on the album that’s from the point of view of the Mandalay bay attacker in Las Vegas and if you listen to the end of the track it’s aimed at America’s shitty gun laws!! You can never take what Eminem says at face value!

Not particularly relevant in the present day rapper in saying something controversial in desperate attempt to appear edgy shocker.

Its rebellion by numbers.

But kids dying of drugs guns gang violence is ok for rap artists. Logic deficit perhaps?

Btw whilst it may be tasteless so is much of rap and grime music. Should that entire culture be banned or just the odd lyric you take exception to?

Yes some of it should be banned, but this was a terrorist attack on kids, different kettle of fish.

That's generic rap material. If he rapped about terrorist attacks in general without specifics that would be comparable.

He's singled out one specific incident, the relatives of the victims are still alive and grieving.

I know what it was. I am a Manc. The day it happened I posted on the forums. It started...

I cried today...

It is no different to I Dont Like Mondays, to pick just one tune that commented on mass murder.

Do you think banning any mention of it be it in songs words or media is in any way going to change the world.

The world changes because peoples hearts change, not because some think anything should be banned because they may personally find it distasteful...

He’s always been controversial, listened to his new album on a long trip today it’s in the typical style.

It’s meant to provoke people like most of that kind of music.

Same as ever if people don’t like they can turn it off.

At the end of the day eminem has never had tastefull lyrics . Its all on the person and weather they choose to be offended by them or not . Hes taken flack for his lyrics for 20 years and nothing has been banned . I dont think it's any worse than any other lyric. The only fact making it seem worse is that it happened in manchester and not america. And before people have a pop at me I had friends at the concert

Yes it was very controversial at the time. I actually think it was banned on some radio stations.

Guys created his name and brand long ago and built a massive fan base which unfortunately won't be to everyone's taste. His old stuff is miles better than his new music aswell in my eyes. Just my opinion

I don't think so, it's in poor taste perhaps- but this isn't anything new for him. He did the same thing referencing the columbine school shootings years ago. And honestly, as someone who loved Eminem when I was younger, this is by no means the most shocking thing he's written.

He's rapped about r.a.pe, murder, gays, drugs...he has no boundaries so I'm not going to be "offended" because you press play on his music knowing it's designed to offend.
