Weird line

[Tash8]

why would eminem say this:
beat my kids in public

in If I get locked up tonight

[Robbie G]

Always wondered that myself.

I guess he probably just meant in general trying to say that he didn't give a fuck.

[jeweler529]

i think he was just tryin to be a lil funny and he was trying to be sarcastic

thats my opinion

[Hadez]

i think that's funny. alot of people have that rationalization about his shit. "he made FACK to show he doesn't give a fuck." "Encore was a goofy CD cuz he wanted to show he didn't give a fuck."

as far as why he'd say that, prolly the same reason the person above me gave. there's prolly not a reason behind it and i doubt there's any seriousness behind it.

[Tash8]

well even so, that's kinda low, beat my kids in public? man he's got to re gret saying that.. there's a certain amount i can take, but that i just dont like.

he probably does regret sayin it but when it comes down to it he was just tryin to entertain fans and shit like that is what a lot of people like to hear i guarantee you hailie will never hear that song from him lol

who likes hearing the line beat my kids in public... sure the song kim was bad, but that one line alone is 100 times worse than that song.

if you look at it from the point of view of his daughter, i'd rather have my dad talk about beating his kids in public than killing my mom. since clearly he didnt really beat me, i'd know. and even tho i'd know he didnt really kill my mom, i couldn't look him the same way. makes things too awkward.

I think this line is over dramatized. He didn't mean anything with it and it definitely isn't nearly as bad as Kim and that's not only to his kids to listen as Hadez perfectly explained, but to fans also. I mean, it doesn't really make me go like 'oh my god he didn't say that, did he' to hear this in a joking, sarcastic form, but Kim is on a whole new level. He raps what he really means and about his real fantasies, all the concept and the voice is amazing. But the line 'beat my kids in public'? C'mon. Maybe I'm a cold-hearted person, but I seriously don't see anything condemnable about it.

[dbeauluvswomen]

Yeah, but Eminem has had a few lines that I could say be on that same level like:

"I'll throw a stroller at you with a baby in it" , "Hit a fuckin pregnant bitch in the stomach with luggage" , "Beat your bitch's ass and make your kids camcord it" , and "Shoot up with masculine in front of my baby daughter Halie" ..dude's just crazy and doesn't give a fuck...but I agree with what D0llyShady said.

Yeah, like Eminem has said that his music is not a rocket science or something like that You should be able to say what's right and what wrong. That's line is wrong and not literal. So what's the noise?

"It's all political, if my music is literal
and I'm a criminal how the FUCK can I raise a little girl?
I couldn't; I wouldn't be fit to"
