The song finds Eminem rapping with the purpose of sparking controversy,[1] such as referring to "the good kind of gay" as "two men [who] fuck each other".[2]
Karan Singh of HipHopDX wrote in a review of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) that "Eminem repeatedly feels the need to spoon-feed the implications of his lyrics to clarify where he's coming from. Scattered between the countless provocations are explanations designed to make dim people feel smart and slow ones feel quick-witted as he seems to be under the impression that his childish bars might fly over his listeners' heads", mentioning the song's lyrics concerning the meaning of the word "gay" as an example.[2] Dash Lewis of Pitchfork commented "He's still good for a dumb laugh, even if it's a bit of a walk: 'Call this sex ed with a splash of necrophilia / 'Cause when I say that I'm really the evilest, I'm fucking deadass' from the otherwise bloodless 'Evil.'"[3]
