With
Snoop Dogg bowing out of his feud with Iggy Azalea, it seems Eminem is more
than willing to take his place.
In a leaked snippet from a new Eminem song called
"Vegas," the controversial rapper appears to tell Iggy to put away
her "rape whistle."
"Unless you're Nicki/grab you by the wrist let's ski/so
what's it gon be/put that s**t away Iggy/You don't wanna blow that rape whistle
on me," Eminem raps. Continue...
Those lyrics come on the heels of Em taking shots at singer Lana
Del Rey in a
freestyle, saying that he'd punch her "right in the face twice" like
NFL player Ray Rice, who was suspended from the league after he was seen on
video knocking his then-fiance unconscious.
That kind of lyricism isn't surprising from Eminem, whose rhymeshave been called homophobic in addition to misogynistic and
violent. The rapper has explained in the past that the words he puts on wax are
part of the "personas that I create in my music."
To Iggy Azalea, that approach is not only offensive, but
uninspired.
"I'm
bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much
more interested in the young women getting $ trend," the Australian artist
tweeted on Thursday. "It's especially awkward because my 14 year old
brother is the biggest eminem fan and now the artist he admired says he wants
to rape me. nice!" Besides, she adds, "women in music have the
bigger b***s anyhow."
Iggy is
right that she's come up against a wave of criticism as her star power
continues to rise. Last month, she went toe-to-toe with Snoop Dogg when the California rapper posted a
series of mean-spirited photos and comments about the "Fancy" rapper,
including calling her a "f****ng c**t."
It wasn't until he had a chat with rapper T.I. that Snoop decided
to fold on the feud, and offered Iggy an apology.
