"Rap God" has generated controversy for homophobic slurs found in the lyrics, which he addressed during a recent interview with Rolling Stone: "I don't know how to say this without saying it how I've said it a million times," he explained. "But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin' or whatever, I never really equated those words  [to mean homosexual]�It was more like calling someone a b�h or a punk or a�hole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then [worrying about] what may or may not affect people." Watch the video here.
