Eminem Takes A Jab At Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, And Lance Bass
Submitted by da411girl
Eminem released a pair of brand new tracks on Thursday that seem to take a jab at former NSYNC member Lance Bass, American Idols Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken.
The tracks on the upcoming Relapse: Refill albummade way to the Internet, and its filled with the typical Slim Shady tirades and lyrics, but one line in the song "Elevator" sticks out above the rest to raise some concerns among some gays and lesbians.
Slim Shady throws a lyrical jab at the openly gay pop trio . Phonetically the wording appears to be using homophobic slurs, but grammatically its spelled to appear as something else.
According to the lyrics Em writes:
"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 fucking voices in my head, I can't take it/ Someone shut that fucking baby up, before I shake it."
Gay-news site Towleroad.com pointed out, "fake it's" sounds phonetically like "faggots," and they refuse to believe that its all coincidental.
"Eminem cleverly avoids using the word 'faggots" in his new song 'Elevator' when referring to Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, replacing it with the words 'fake it's,' " says Andy Towle the sites founder. "Of course, phonetically, it sounds just like 'faggots.' "
Adam lambert took to his Twitter account on Thursday to address the latest jabs from Eminem. He wrote, "Wow, Eminem mentioned me in a song?! I must be doing something right!? Even if he used the 'F word,' whatever," He then retweeted saying "Oh, he says 'fake it.' My bad."
Eminem got major heat from Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in 2001 for his use of gay slurs and anti-gay sentiments on tracks like "Kill You" and "Criminal" on the album 'The Marshall Mathers LP' . GLAAD harshly protested his appearance at the 2001 Grammy Awards outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Eminem fired back at GLAAD by performing his hit song 'Stan' with openly gay and prominant musician Elton John, ending his performance with a finger to the crowd.
