Last week, several new Eminem tracks hit the net, one of which is causing a stir… a familiar stir for Eminem.
In ‘Elevator’ – Eminem mentions three openly gay singers: former ‘NSYNC member Lance Bass, and American Idol’s Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert.
In the song, Eminem says, “Sorry, Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain’t gonna make it/ They get so mad, when I call them both fake/ It’s all these f—ing voices in my head, I can’t take it/ Someone shut that f—ing baby up, before I shake it.”
More than one website is claiming that Eminem is back on his old homophobic horse. “Eminem cleverly avoids using the word ‘f——” in his new song ‘Elevator’ when referring to Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, replacing it with the words ‘fake it’s,” says Towleroad.com, a site which describes itself as “More than gay news for more gay men.” The blog believes, “Of course, phonetically, it sounds just like ‘f—ing.”
Avid tweeter Adam Lambert responded via Twitter: “Wow, Eminem mentioned me in a song?! I must be doing something right!? Even if he used the ‘F word,’ whatever,” which he followed with, “Oh, he says ‘fake it.’ My bad.”
So… what do you think about it all?!?!
