About this song

Eminem has said the song was meant to shock, and it has a call-and-response section that is a highlight of his concerts. Lynne Cheney, the Second Lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009, cited its lyrics when calling for age restrictions on music sales and was vocal against the song.
