Well, this is interesting.
Remember when the rapper Eminem appeared on BET recently and absolutely roasted President Donald Trump in a freestyle rap that liberals went gah-gah over? That made him — of course — their favorite rapper of all time.
But these same liberals are conspicuously silent on Eminem’s song called “River” on his new “Revival” album… even though the content involves politics. Hum… Wonder why? Oh, this might be it: the song is an apology to a baby he encouraged his girlfriend to abort.
Yep. Here’s how Newsbusters reported on the song:
The song is a detailed confession of an affair, an abortion, and the regret that came after. Whether fictional or based on reality, “River” is a powerful cry for forgiveness for the wrong he’s done to the aborted baby (the “little one” mentioned in the refrain) and the mother.
The lyrics tell the whole story, sparing no detail: The story told is about a serial cheater, “a sex addict,” who began an affair with a woman, “Suzanne.” After what started as a one-night-stand, which left her feeling “deserted and used,” Eminem tried to cover all evidence of their liaison. However, the woman became pregnant.
In a panic, the rapper pushed for an abortion, “We can’t bring her in this world, shoulda knew/To use protection.” He didn’t dance around the issue, but was brutally honest: “I made you terminate my baby.” ‘Baby,” the proper term for an unborn child, but one major media outlets hide from.
And on this note, his liberal admirers went silent.
Wait, that’s not quite right. Spin magazine said the song had “massive, transcendent corniness.” Of course they did.
Here’s the truth — the truth that this rapper is definitely hitting on. Abortion is murder. People regret it and are haunted by their decision for the rest of their lives — including the fathers.
As much as I disagree with Eminem on things, I LOVE it that he tackled this subject.
