Eminem Headlines ‘The Shady Cypher XV’ [Video, NSFW]
Eminem leads Shady Records, and it's definitely one of the more talented record labels out there.
But oddly enough with the exception of Eminem Shady Records hasn't had huge commercial success, but if you had Eminem on your label that is probably all you need.A few day days ago Eminem announced a cypher would be released to help promote the new album 'Shady XV' which is an anniversary album marking the 15 year anniversary of Shady Records.
The Cypher which includes all of the Slaughterhouse members (Joel Ortiz, Royce da 5'9, Crooked I, and Joe Buddens) Yelawolf, and of course Eminem.
The overall cypher is over 18 minutes long and is full of bars... and it doesn't end without a little controversy. During Eminem's verse, he made the following remarks about domestic abuse that have some crying foul:
“But I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/ Play nice? Bitch I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance/ ’Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens.”
What do you think? Offensive and disgusting or just Eminem doing his thing?
