[@MarkHallOfFame]

Kids today really won’t understand just how big of a deal Eminem was back then. I remember The Marshall Mathers LP was so controversial that they were playing anti homophobic commercials during the Grammys, because he was performing😂😂😂 I’m not laughing because I think homophobia is funny I’m laughing because I remember how hilarious the commercials were. They were literally MTV news specials about how problematic Eminem’s music was. And all that did was make la 12 year old me want to listen to the album. Prior to that I only knew this singles. But after hearing that album my jaw literally dropped💀💀💀because I couldn’t believe he was saying the things that he said on that album. Songs like “Kim”, Criminal, Marshall Mathers, Remember Me…hell the whole album was absolutely INSANE!!!😂😂😂 even now as a grown man I can’t believe Interscope records actually let that album get released. But I’m glad they did.😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

[@Historicutuber]

Yeah he shocked the world with this one

[@DG_Toti]

Kim was so extreme they censored a decent chunk of it on the explicit version of the album and on the censored version they just had to straight up cut it and replace it with another song

[@Cooljohn760]

In my opinion, 2 live crew had to been the most controversial album. Governments banned states from even selling the album and record store guy went to jail for selling a copy damn😬

[@themanonthewallgammairradi8763]

Baaaaaaanned In the USAAAAAA!

[@eletronictoenails]

The song “Fuck The Police” was banned on Triple J (Double J during the time) so as a protest, the people at Double J played Express Yourself by NWA for 24 hours straight

[@raidknight]

Small little side note. Prince was also a reason for the parental advisory label. Tipper gore (because of course it was), founded the PMRC after seeing here young daughter dance to princes song “darling Nikki”, which was very sexual and explicit for the time. The PMRC also gave us the iconic trial that had twisted sister, among others, defending free speech in music and calling out the hypocrisy of the PMRC, and the nation at large

[@jovanreid6782]

Went looking for this comment as soon as they said 2 Live Crew was the reason. 👍

[@jarrahsends]

I'd say Relapse is much more controvercial than SS and MM LP, the amount of rape lines alone on the album should place it on the list

[@GABA-Gool]

I think by then, everybody knew Em’s schtick. It was more or less expected by that point. But you’re right as far as the lines and concepts themselves. Super fucked up album.

[@Historicutuber]

I see what you’re saying but nope

[@jesuspernia8031]

On paper it should be, but it’s not because people are knew what Em and the slim shady persona were about

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Ice Cube’s second album, Death Certificate, is another album that is controversial. The songs “Black Korea” and “No Vaseline” caused controversy due to attacking Koreans and Jews. In Ice Cube’s defense, he was taking about some Koreans who don’t respect Black people and Jerry Heller was the main target.

[@metalmouth5581]

Can’t trust anyone who doesn’t name the Jews tbh

[@kayodakonspiracy]

​@@metalmouth5581the true Jews are black. Those Jewish people are Khazarians. Biblically known as Amalek.

His best album and the actual most controversial one. Cube went raw on later albums but never as focused and direct as this one.
