What's the deal with Eminem crossdressing in his videos

[Prae]

Seriously wtf if with that shyt. I was just watching Eminem Takeover on Fuse and Just Lose It came on where he was dressed as Madonna, and I realized that's not the first time he's done that. For someone who attacks people for being gay in his songs (even if joking), that's damn near as gay as it gets. I'm surprised he doesn't seem to get criticized for it. Sorry if this topic has been brought up before though.

My Name Is - Marilyn Manson (he's a guy but it still looks gay with all the makeup)
The Real Slim Shady - Britney Spears
Without Me - his mom
My Band - groupies
Just Lose It - Madonna
We Made You - idk if he does any of the crossdressing, but Britney Spears looks like a man, and Amy Winehouse might be one too

He also has a lot of gay lyrics. Although this dude's description on rapgenius kind of explains it, but it's still gay any way you try to justify it.

From Same Song & Dance

Creep up to her mansion in stilettos

Seemingly in an effort to convince listeners of his much-touted insanity, Eminem often raps about crossdressing and has been known to wear women’s clothing on stage at concerts. The generalization “guy wearing women’s clothing = crazy murderer” likely comes from Em’s (also much-touted) knowledge of serial killers, many of whom (like Jerry Brudos and the fictional Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs) have been crossdressers. Of course, such a reductionistic and negative portrayal of crossdressing and its motivations is offensive, but this is a song where he’s also taunting women as he kidnaps/murders them, so what’re ya gonna do?

I put on my mother's makeup,get naked and run around

a reference to Norman Bates, of the Psycho series.

Rap City Freestyle

Animal instinct, cannibalistic, I just ran out of lipstick, man I’m a twisted, sick

The whole Insane song is possibly one of the gayest rap songs ever made.

Don't you know what felch means? (Yeah!) Well, then tell me
Would you rather get felched or do the felching?
fukk 'em in the ass, suck the cum out while you belchin' {*burps*}
Burp, belch, then go back for a second helping
Could you dig what I'm sayin, man? Could you smell me?
I want you to feel like my stepfather felt me(uhmm...)
fukk a little puppy, kick the puppy while he's yelpin
(Shady, what the fukk you saying?) I don't know - HELP ME!
What the fukk's happening?! I think I'm fukking MELLLTING!
"Marshall, I just love you boy, I care about your well-being"
NO, dad! I said NO! I don't need no help peeing
I'm a big boy, I can do it by myself, see?
I only get naked when the babysitter tells me
She showed me her a movie like "Nightmare on Elm Street"
But it was X, and they called it "Pubic Hair on Chelsea"
"Well, this is called 'Ass Rape' and we're shooting the jail scene"

i had a very popular thread years ago on SOHH about this but everyone on the web and in real life convos when i have brought it up just ignore it

anyway my statement still stands; eminem has the most homosexual lyrics (as in # of lines) hands down in hip-hops existence.

id love to be proven wrong but i cant. as far as crossdressing, theres nothing more left to say.

i personally was back in the day when bizarre would rap about having sex with trannies and everyone is like you heard eminem? he ripped it

He does it for sales, to appeal to fakkits.

its weird. back in the day he was on his gay bashing shyt..but after Encore he was dropping more obviously homo lyrics like on My First Single, Rain Man..then later on shyt like 3AM, Insane..really any song on Relapse..

he went from pretty much saying you are rocking lingerie, to saying he's wearing lingerie

The Honorable Minister Marshal Mathers is a secret melanated Afrikan and the JEW MEDIA is forcing him to feminize himself so that BLACK children will turn GAY.

No, but seriously.. Eminem is the more "commercial" version of a horrocore rapper, hes clearly taken a lot of influences from that type of rap and a handful of horrorcore rappers I listen to have said some pretty gay shyt. i think it's to add more detail to the story to help listeners be able to paint a more detailed, fukked up image in your head and convince you just how "sick" they are.
