From the moment Em asks, “What if I told you I’m homophobic?” it’s clear nothing good will come of this verse. No matter how well-meaning the intent is, the hackneyed lyrics sound exactly like what would happen if a straight man tried to describe what he thinks the gay experience is like over a beat that would have been left onĨ08s & HeartbreakBut on the real, what if I told you that I was brave?I grew up different than I was raisedBut still, what if I told you I’m out of place? WaitWhat if I told you that I was gay?But it’s Eminem’s part that genuinely sends the song off the rails. The first two verses feature Joyner playing a character questioning their sexuality. The two MCs were the victim of a leak this week, leading the internet to a “Stan”-like track that’s about as bad as you can imagine Releasing Joyner Lucas and Eminem ’s 'What If I Was Gay?' would have been a huge mistake
