Eminem References His Classic RENEGADE Bars In Response To MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY Backlash: “For The Victims Of This Album, May You Rest Peacefully”

Grammy-winning rapper Eminem is keeping it 92 plus 8. The hip-hop veteran has stepped forward to provide some context and clarity behind his newly released Music to Be Murdered By album.

Big Facts: On Thursday, Slim Shady hit up his social media pages to downplay people taking his “murder” references too literally.

“Cause, see, they call me a menace and if the shoe fits, I'll wear it. But if it don't, then y'all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it” #Renegade #MusicToBeMurderedBy pic.twitter.com/2aIFk2kz8a
