A Canadian women’s group, the RINJ Foundation (Rape Is No Joke), is calling for a boycott of “rape rappers,” namely Big Sean and Eminem. As stated on the organization’s boycott page, “the RINJ Foundation strongly urges the boycott of rape rappers and their labels. In a poorly mastered rap recording by RAPE RAPPERS Marshall Bruce Mathers (Eminem) and Sean Michael Anderson (Big Sean), America’s most popular and most vulgar heroes demonstrate why and how America became a global pariah.”
The organizers behind the boycott then go on to quote lyrics from Big Sean’s “No Favors” featuring Eminem, a song released last week on Sean’s highly-anticipated album, I Decided. The cut includes lyrics about raping controversial right-wing commentator/author Ann Coulter, who had her own harsh response to the track.
“And fuck Ann Coulter with a Klan poster,” Slim Shady raps. “With a lamp post, door handle, shutter/A damn bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber/Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter/A banjo and manhole cover.”
These words apparently infuriated RINJ’s CEO Michael O’Brien, who not only has demanded the seasoned rappers be arrested, but also accused the track of “encouraging rape and physical violence against American author Ann Coulter” on RINJ’s Facebook page and said it was “symbolic of the direction America appears to be headed.”
He continued, “It saddens me to tell you that from 13,600 KM away, America stinks badly. Saner minds need to prevail and shut this trash down. Perhaps retailers can organize, find some kind of social conscience and examine the violence and hatred of women that is being pumped into children’s ears.”
The foundation also implored its 307,000 members to give a statement pleading their case, which ranged from comments like, “When rappers like Eminem and Big Sean encourage the commission of felonious crimes, they themselves commit an indictable offense in the USA and could be arrested” to “For the crime of suggesting to millions of people that it is ‘OK’ to rape Ann Coulter or by their possible inference that it is ‘OK’ to rape any women you are angry with, Eminem and all parties to this crime should be arrested.”
At this time, neither Big Sean or Eminem has responded to the boycott, but it appears Sean is basking in the success of his fourth studio album and not sweating it…yet.
This has to be a joke LMAO
Fuckin sensitivity is going to kill hip hop. Go listen to something else and get your panties out your asses.
I hope Big Sean goes diamond. F_ck the RINJ the same way Em described f_cking Ann Coulter.
Dawg wtf Ann Coulter is evil. All she does is spew bigotry and hatred. What goes around comes around.
Man i swear if it was up to some people they would have rappers rappin bout rainbows, flowers and shit. If you don’t like it then don’t listen to it, don’t let your kids listen to it. People take all this seriously, of course it’s offensive you dumbfucks, if it wasn’t offensive to some people it wouldn’t be hiphop, it would be country music. Rappers can say WHATEVER they want in any verse they want whenever they want and nobody can do shit about it, that’s why the parental advisory sticker was invented. Gtfo with all your feminist bullshit.
Can you read? This isn’t HHDX saying this you idiot.
lmao
you gotta wonder about some people
Em should have said something more pc like Grab Her by the Pussy
Eminem wasn’t meant to survive into the crybaby sjw era.
This is what they get for supporting liberal causes…attacked by other liberals. Conservatives support freedom and don’t want to sensor lyrics.
why hhdx keep removing my comment; tf? Ann Coulter said r@pe isn’t r@pe unless the victim gets hit over the head with a brick and if the victim doesn’t report it right away that they are attention seeking when they do report it down the line…. did mr. superhero here go into an uproar about this?
Pussies. Anyone can say what they want whenever they want. And they call this poorly mastered….its purely a masterpiece. F them all with a Klan poster and a door handle. Besides, I think Eminem got what he wanted the most from this. Controversy and publicity. And fuel. Fuel to the fire. He didn’t have that all year days.
Funny all these other “rappers” that talk about fuc**ng women and what not like lil boat young thugg ect dont get thus response i wonder why
nobody understands what they mumbling. Thats why
Because they’re fucking women, not r@ping them. Big difference.
whether or not eminem is washed up aside, i find it endlessly entertaining that he’s still pissing people off in 2017.
And Eminem’s antics work again.
He just blessed Sean with insane exposure. It appears that this will be covered on some large scale on news stations and sites.
Eminem thrived off of controversy mixing insane emceeing with really shitty sounding offensive things to provoke the mainstream public to respond. He did it here years later and now some organization is stupid enough to bite causing a mediocre verse to boost the project.
dont forget ricky rozay… he loves to bill cosby them bishes with the molly all in them dranks
Lmfao bro i lost my shit at this comment
Lmao that group is a right wing propaganda group.. Don’t get trolled to heard dx.
lmao this is nothing more or less than EXACTLY what eminem wants.
They only listened to it just to hear what controversial shit Eminem was gone say so they can say some dumb shit like this
People are sick of this fake/politically correct era we are in. This is why Big Trump was able to win.
I’m glad it’s okay to rap about beating black women. Nothing wrong with that.
Freedom of speech
this is difficult, cause i think eminem is corny as hell but i also hate mouthy broads trying to nag everyone.
And one more thing. You take away freedom of speech, and that’s the end if us! Think about it.
What I was saying before my comment got erased was, what about all the violent movies projecting gruesome images. Are they not effecting the children’s minds? Remember natural born killers.
Freedom of speech down here. These CANADIANS can eat an extra long dick..
Welcome to America, where anything AND everything can happen.
They clearly dont understand hip-hop and how expressive it is. Not like he meant it literally. Its called being creative. Canada should try it sometime. Ill put money on a Canadian rapper saying the same kind of shit. Difference is nobody listens to it.
As a Canadian, I’d rather have annoying women’s groups overreacting to rap lyrics than all those black ppl getting slaughtered on camera by cops with no consequences. All this Canada-bashing happening on here is nonsense. Acting like our women’s groups are the only ones overreacting to lyrics, like Eminem and Marilyn Manson weren’t being blamed for school shootings and shit.
I’m a fan of both Eminem and Big Sean but this group does have a point. We pile on Trump (rightfully so) for bashing women but then let people like Eminem get away with it because it’s “music” and Eminem is liberal. (DISCLOSURE: I’m liberal for the most part.)
It’s a double standard and should be addressed. Now, I think it’s an overreaction to call for their arrests, obviously, but this issue should be addressed and this group is not wrong for it. I think Eminem is the best rapper on a technical level and I study and dissect this dudes lyrics like the Bible but his misogynistic and homophobic lyrics are getting old and not even shocking at this point. I am ready to see Em retire the Slim Shady persona.
On a side note: Em killed that No Favors verse on a technical level and the wordplay is mind blowing as usual. I’ve never had a love/hate feeling with an artist as I have with Em. He really is like a dysfunctional relationship that I can’t leave.
