Eminem Sparks Outrage with Disturbing Rap that Describes Raping Women.


Eminem has come under fire for glorifying rape in a new song for the movie Straight Outta Compton.
The 42-year-old father-of-three screams:

'I even make the b****es I rape c*m,' in a rap solo on Dr Dre's song Medicine Man.
The line has prompted a wave of backlash from anti-violence groups and among Twitter users after the movie's release this week.

Straight Outta Compton is a biopic of the rap collective the NWA, of which Dr Dre was a member.
Eminem was not; he was a member of the hip hop group D-12 before going solo.

Karen Ingala Smith, chief executive of anti-rape group The Nia Project, told The Guardian such language misconstrues the meaning of consent.

'Women and girls who have suffered sexual violence often blame themselves or question whether they were really raped,' she told the paper. 
'Peddling the lie that orgasm equals consent silences victims of sexual violence.' 
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has not responded to the criticism over Medicine Man.
