Elton John and Eminem performed ‘Stan’ together at the Grammy’s in 2001. The FCC and the public tried to ‘cancel’ Eminem for his homophobic lyrics, he said the ‘f word’ an awful lot and Elton John stuck up for him. That’s where the career Russian roulette line comes in. They’ve been friends ever since. Elton even had a big part in Eminem staying sober after his overdose. Eminem even gifted Elton John and his partner a diamond encrusted ‘cock ring’.

The line about "dorm room doors of THEIR HINGES" begins the forbidden rhyme scheme of rhyming with "oranges"... "their hinges"...syringes"... "I'm inches"... thats why it sounded like a random mess for a moment.

Back in the days everyone was trying to "cancel" him because of his outlandish lyrics and especially his supposed hatred for the gay community. That's why when he surprised everyone by doing that colab with Elton John it was very risky for him. Keep up it... Loving the reaction.

Not to mention Elton John isn't the first name you think of when you think "rap". So for him too it was risky. Eminem wasn't a safe collar for Elton either.

The career suicide thing is meant for both him and Elton, because Elton defended Em when he was accused of being homophobic for his lyrics which could be risky for his career and image as a gay man, while it was risky for Em as a hip hop artist to collab with someone like Elton John (a gay man known for ballad songs, not exactly thr usual feature on a hip hop song lol). As others have mentioned, Elton mentioned in an interview that Em gifted him and David (his husband) two diamond cock rings on a velvet cushion for their wedding lol Elton was also a mentor for Em through his journey of sobriety.

Just a fair warning the song "Marshall Mathers" from the MMLP is extremely over the top with full homophobic slurs etc i genuinely really dont think you would get any value out of it whatsoever. It's a great song for the diehard fans who know the 90s and 00s backstory and beefs but it gives no value to anyone else i assure you. Cheers for another great reaction with this one!
