Breaking News Eminem Lyrics
Aight, now I’m ’bout to show you somethin’
What?
Shh, watch
Now to breaking news, and it turns on this week in music
Detroit rapper Eminem, in a stunning move has released an album (What? Shh)
In which he is actually trying to cancel himself
Man, what the fuck?
And right now, at this hour, we got protestors lining the streets downtown
Where Kimberly Gill is standing by, KG
Hi, Devin, we are outside Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti (Man, this some bullshit)
Where, as you can see behind me
People are definitely upset over Eminem’s new album
And are actually calling to boycott the rapper (Haha)
For songs that include insensitive comments about little people
People with mental disabilities, transgender rights and the first amendment (Hahahaha, haha)
Eminem Breaking News Meaning
In the skit, a news anchor reports on the public outrage and protests over Eminem’s new album, which many consider to be offensive and unacceptable. The anchor interviews various people, including a mother who is “disgusted” by Eminem’s lyrics, and a religious leader who condemns the album as “blasphemous.”
The skit provides a meta-commentary on the controversy that often surrounds Eminem’s music and persona. By framing the public reaction as a “breaking news” event, the skit highlights the sensationalism and moral panic that can arise around Eminem’s provocative artistic expression.
Through this skit, Eminem seems to be acknowledging the predictable backlash his new album will likely receive, while also poking fun at the media’s tendency to amplify and dramatize such controversies. It serves as a prelude to the album’s more incendiary and boundary-pushing content.
