People are furious over Eminem's disturbing rap lyric about rape

Rap legend Dr. Dre released his first album in 16 years last night entitled "Compton." Reception of the album as a whole has been good, but some of the content has been highly criticized.

Eminem is in a bit of a muk after performing a lyric on the album that many think is insensitive to victims of rape.

During the song "Medicine Man," he's heard rapping the line "Ain't no one safe from, non-believers there ain't none. I even make the b------ I rape c--."

Karen Ingala Smith, chief executive of Nia Project, a charity that fights violence against women and children, told The Guardian the Eminem line was damaging to the culture.

"Women and girls who have suffered sexual violence often blame themselves or question whether they were really raped," she said. "Peddling the lie that orgasm equals consent silences victims of sexual violence."

She added, "When we minimize, celebrate, glorify or condone men's violence against women, we are amplifying the conditions in which it can occur."

Eminem also got a lot of negative feedback on twitter:

Whether or not Eminem meant to infuriate people with the lyric, this isn't the first time he's said something controversial, or alluding to rape.

On his "Shady CYPHER" from 2014, he referenced the situation of Ray Rice hitting his wife Janae as well as basically mocking gay rights as a whole. His 2011 song "Kill you" alludes to some eye-popping lyrics, most notably ones highly criticized for their demeaning nature against women. Even one of his most popular songs, "Love the way you lie" mentions tying a woman to a bed if she leaves him again and setting her house on fire.
