No, lol. His daughter is literally Non-Binary. 
 

Spoiler

let me slow it down since yall must not know how metaphors and creative writing is used in rap expression.

the song is poking fun at People that misuse Woke allegories and don't have basic comprehension skills. Thats why he has a Bud Light Bar & Shirt at the start of the song. Last year Controversy was Conservatives mad at Bud Light for having a Trans person as thier Influencer.
Eminem is literally doing the opposite of what you're implying. Like how are you guys missing that?!  He is actually standing more on the side of trans right 🤦‍♀️ Like if anything this is gonna piss off conservatives and anti-LGBT people. That is why Critics were trying to boycott Bud Light, because they didn't want Trans to have a platform or to be on their beer. Slim shady is basically saying he don't give a **** about the hate he is about to receive for picking a side and chooses to offend the Woke mob instead. 

 

Also he didn't even hate Queer communities, he just rifled up feathers because he knew the actual message was gonna go over the average viewers head. It's an allegory song. Hence why he says My Trans Cat Identifies as Black and but acts Chinese. Which can be seen as someone confused with thier identity, but in actuality he is making a dad joke about how Siamese cats are Asian feline, but that are also black face. This is typical Eminem satire, by telling truths that will trigger both sides as they take something serious that actually isn't even an insult. Male Cross dresser is literally a female *****. And he holds up a picture of himself cross dressing twice, basically confirming he isn't safe from his own words. Then he follows up by cursing out his Mentor, Label Executive, Himself, You, Me and His own Kids. 😆 further proof he is saying F everybody as it's just entertainment and music, not his actual opinion and feelings. Same approach with the Meg line. It's not even a diss, it's taking a relevant event from pop culture and making people get offended. And that's why he wonders if he can get a shot at a feature, even tho his lyrics are sensitive subjects. Clever wordplay. Same with sometimes "I wonder what the old me would say" line. Like hello? That's the point of the song, he isn't actual Eminem saying Everything is gay, That's Slim Shady's persona coming out as that's the concept of his music video. The old Eminem was unfiltered and a product of the time, and is what Rappers said. Including Jay, Nas, and every Top rapper of that era cuz the *** and R word were common day vocabulary. Of course it's not acceptable, but that is literally what we said growing up. As a 90's baby. This is just pure facts. Dont mean it's right, but that is the reality and societal norm. Now that definitely ain't, and is why the music video has Em suit up to stop young shady from existing in a space where he will get cancelled the second h gets on a mic. This is what he has been doing his whole careerz The MMLP is literally about him not being slim shady but saying the most ludicrous things to shock and get back at the parents that were complaining about his first Hit song My Name is. So he starts the album off with Kill U and songs like the Way I am, and ends the album with criminal where he explains he takes on the Crtics and misconceptions of him that Slim Shady's exaggerated lyrics gave him. That is the separation of art and artist that he has been trying to dumb down to critics that can't see he is clearly not serious and it's entertainment. Songs like White America or Stan Ft. Elton John performance where

he Reiterates he isn't homophobic. he has Support publicly for LGBTQ Marriages, and his daughter Stevie is Non-Binary. The homophobia that's deep rooted in hip-hop is similar to how violence is ingrained in the culture, but that don't mean everyone that listens or makes rap is phobic💀 Nas, Jay, Nicki, Drake, Kendrick, Cole, Bigge, PAC, and literally every rapper raps about content just as violent, says the *** throughout thier career, and explicit content that is cancelled worthy but don't get the heat because people think that's what hip hop is. Cardi and Meg make the same song about thier ***** and demeaning women, but it's ok? The constant hypocrisy is why it's hard to take rap fans seriously when they use they target Em, when this pop rap song isn't even demeaning a group of people. It's Hip-hop. 

 

Even the Ru Paul line is a truth, it's just offensive. But once again that's Eminem. But it's still a fact Rupaul has 2 balls, Ru Paul is a man. And they themselves have famously stated they are indifferent to pronouns.🤷‍♀️ which is why Em said the line.

 

Marshall is literally a liberal and has always been one. As he was against Bush and even drew a line in the sand politically twice against 2 Republican presidents that are against LGBTQ Marriage rights; Bush & Trump. , he is just making entertainment for the masses that have differing opinions on societal norms. Literally nothing in his songs should be taken seriously as that is the point of the slim shady character. 
 

In conclusion, these are all facts. And I'm still shocked how a site full of gays let the bud light thing just go over thier head because they have a hate boner for Eminem. I mean I get them not liking his music or having false ideas of him being anti gay. But it's just wrong. He says ****** up **** because that's his brand, not because he is targeting or attacking LGBTQ. He obviously ain't no ally, but this song isn't actually anti-queer.

#1 on Global Billboard 200, #1 on Billboard Hip Hop 100, #1 on R&B Billboard, 6th biggest debut week of all time & 3rd biggest of 2024. (Drake & Kendrick record breaking diss songs are the only rap songs on Spotify with bigger first week sales in Spotify history). Fast viewed Rap YouTube MV of 2024 with 60+M in 7 days. Still #1 on Apple Music in a dozen Countries including U.K, & Canada. Still Number 1 Trending MV on YouTube! 
 

it only went Number 2 because it didn't have enough radio support…. But it literally has more sales than the number 1 song in the country.  Nonetheless, this is insane. Em just casually drops and is doing Drake streaming numbers, Houdini is the 2nd fastest streamed rap song in a week behind only Not Like Us. He surpassed Drake's family matters first week streams, is now the 8th most listened to Artist on Spotify this month. Guess the Who listens to Eminem in 2024 people taking another L? 😆

A global #1 full-rap solo smash, 26 years into his mainstream career

no, it will probably drop to #5 as it doesn't have radio support

Is radio to scared to play him?

Definitely not. But it will stay top 5. Unless radio blows up

With the release of the album, he can make the song #1.

It's c list over here, they play it but not much. I expect that most of it is that they don't know where put him but also, the edit doesn't sound great, you lose a big chunk of the last verse

This is so ******* good. Forever the GOAT

 

 

Eminem Just surpassed 80M Monthly Listeners on Spotify today, passing the former #1 rapper Drake. Houdini is the 2nd fastest streamed song to 100M Ever, only behind Kendrick's record breaking Diss song Not Like Us.

went up to b-list today on R1 here, presumably a reflection that it's not going anywhere.

 

#1s usually go straight to A but i feel like they really just don't want to deal with this bad taste old guy, even if it shouldn't be a surprise (or that it is an absolute banger, SOTY contender straight off)

Houdini becoming an organic Global hit song Crazy. I hope the 2nd single is like Love the way you lie and he gets a Main pop girl on it.

Eminem is definetely not a C lister, specially in the US

Houdini still charting at #15 on Billboard today it's been exactly 1 month and he has a stable Hit. 
 

also Tobey is dropping this week as the 2nd official single of Death of Slim Shady Album. Its name is a homage to Tobey Maguire, the original Spider-Man  the amount of 2000's nostalgia this era is serving. Tobey's Spider-Man 2 has its 20th anniversary this week.
