In his freestyle, Slim Shady directly name-dropped the singer and compared himself to now-infamous ex-NFL player Ray Rice.

“But I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/ Play nice? B*tch 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.” (Pitchfork)

Check out the footage and what Azealia Banks had to say right here…

Female rapper Azealia Banks has already lashed back.

Coincidentally, Del Rey has previously dished on her admiration for Em.

In the past, Del Rey has admitted being a big Eminem fan, claiming in one interview: “He really changed my life. I didn’t know music could be intelligent. He wasn’t just rhyming for rhyme’s sake. That made me think I could actually talk about the way things actually were. He’s a genius.” (The Guardian)

Em made a name for himself since the beginning of his rap career by going at female musicians.

Of course, Eminem is no stranger to taking potshots at female pop artists, having lyrically dismissed Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey many times over. (Billboard)

  1. Here goes this chick again, she’s been twitter bangin’ for years now, regardless of Em’s lyrics being in poor taste or not, her comment makes her look delusional. Trailer parks and hot pockets, did she forget Em has enough bread to have a trailer filled with hot pockets dropped on her house if he felt like it?

      • you’re not black either. you’re trolling. quit trying to make it about race. racist.

      • First of all genius it was a domestic violence situation so what does my race have anything to do with it?, and second of all I’m not giving him a pass for shit, in my opinion he was way out of line for that bar but a lot of people would disagree and say that you should be able to speak whatever is on your mind and not be censored regardless of the circumstances.

        • True. And people who think eminem was wrong are similarly exercising their right to speak their mind by verbally expressing their dissent.

    • So you gon skip right over the fact that Eminem is using someone else’s real life situation to be controversial and grab attention?

      • Didn’t skip over anything, I wasn’t about to write a novel on all the rights and wrongs of everybody involved. Eminem’s been doing this type of shit his whole career it may not be right but it’s nothing new, and he doesn’t need to say something outlandish to grab attention at this point.

        • But u made sure to devote time to focus on Azeqlia’s wrongs lol
          The fact that it’s nothing new is impertinent. By that logic we shouldnt protest racism in America because it’s nothing new. Or violence against women shouldn’t be protested because that’s nothing new.

          • If you’ll take another quick glance at my previous comment you’ll see I said “it may not be right”, I didn’t say “it’s nothing new so we as human beings have to accept it now”. Nowhere in my comment did I imply that racism and domestic violence shouldn’t be protested, apparently you choose the internet as one of your avenues of doing so and that’s great for you if it makes you happy. Done with this back and forth though, these kinds of debates have no ending.

  2. That verse that Yellawolf said about Charlemagne and Lord J was kind of slick.

    That “Murder you on a motherfuckin’ track like Tony Stewart.” line was gangster too.

    • YESSSS….i had to rewind that like 2x when he said it. and i dont even know what kinda beef C Tha God got with him and i wouldnt be surprised!

      • Slaughterhouse was on the Breakfast Club after the BET cipher. Charlemagne said they should kick him off the label because he sucked.

        • DANG….i think hes alright. and i dont even remember him in the Cypher lol. hes definitely got his own lil lane tho!

  3. Ugly Bitch always got something to say,jyst to generate some press, for her No HiT WonDeRS!!

  4. Em makes threats and disrespectful remarks and it’s okay because it’s just a rap & he doesn’t really mean it ……… But, let this chick make tweets without naming names and she’s the bad guy here?!

    • Thing is, her track record has made her the villain, and rightfully so. Not this tweet.

    • The thing is she makes wack music and has no catalog. Since when did lyrics have to be so politically correct. I’m glad Em offended people. I like people to feel some type of way. Fuck um.

      • Dude, GTFOH with your BS hypocritical argument! Oh so just because Em has a solid catalog, he’s free to say what ever he wants?! Everything doesn’t have to be PC but, if you talk greasy about people, you should expect feed back.
        Let Em talk about your moms all crazy ……. I hope to see you giving him the same pass …… and tell ya’ mom not to be upset ….. it’s her own fault for having a weak catalog! SMH

        • So is Lana Del Ray ya moms!? Don’t be so sensitive b. It’s rap. Idgaf if he raps about my moms aunty or whatever. I don’t like his music but I respect that he’s not scared to ruffle feathers. If your mad about some damn em lyrics you’re a clown. You can give feedback all you want but she’s reaching.

          • What’s clear is that the Stanley’s will react over a tweeted reaction without understanding and/or before they admit that Em’s lyrics where clearly meant for reaction purpose …….. smh

  5. Those were probably the kindest lines Em has ever spit in his career. Y’all must’ve forgot

  6. As I said before this is the only way this guy stay relevant! No one pay any attention to him much until he dissing females! The dude is a Pop Star! That is all! I don’t put him in a rap category. People please!

    Em pop music is trash! Plain trash!

  7. Why is ems lyrics in poor taste now? U know why? The world is a pussy whipped shell of itself. Thats why. Ems been saying off the wall shit for 17 years straight but only in this day in age, this faggot ass soft ass generation is butt hurt with everything. Em keep rockin. Who is Azailia Banks? And fuck your feelings new generation. Stick to internet challenges, fag swag, and social media dick riding and trend following.

    • Actually you are proving how pussywhipped the world is with your sensitive comment. If you don’t think people should respond with outrage when they come across something they are displeased with then maybe you should take your own advice and not respond with obscenities, profane language, and OUTRAGE at the fact that your husband is being criticized. Reread your post. You sound extremely butt hurt lol

  8. aziella banks needs to do a 100 dash in an 80 yard room….she is a nobody all she do is make comments on rappers for attn…she was on the partition remix with busta and beyonce and got kicked off…someone in austrailia threw a bottle at her….and she makes audacious ass claims like “I think I am the female version of Kanye West…”…….banks plz kill yaself….
