How To Ruin What Should’ve Been An Amazing Freestyle

[Trigger Warning: This is about more than just Hip Hop]

This should have been amazing. You have DJ Premier, arguably the best DJ to ever live; you have Mos Def, Black Thought, and Eminem, three incredibly talented Hip Hop artists; but leave it Eminem to ruin the whole thing with a rape joke.

“My dick is so big if I add another inch to it, you would swear when I raped you that you was actually into it”

Appalling.

If you think I’m being nit-picky and wondering how I can say that one line ruined the entire freestyle, you will notice that it’s that line out of his entire freestyle that gets a “whoo!” It’s this celebration (and implicit endorsement) of rape jokes that contributes to terrible incidents like this, where a 15-year old girl was gang raped and beaten while as many as a dozen people stood by and watched. If you can’t see the connection, you need to be locked away in a dungeon somewhere never to see the light of day again because you are dangerous.
