Eminem's controversial rap at BET Awards

In a move that shouldn’t really surprise anyone who’s lived outside of a cave for the last 10 years, Eminem's performance during the BET Hip-Hop Awards Show last night contained statements that some found objectionable. One line about rape was censored during the television broadcast.

Rolling Stone has a story and video here.

Black Thought and Mos Def also rhymed during the segment – which featured DJ Premier on the decks.

Let me know what you think of Em’s actions in the comment section below.
