Eminem is reportedly set to announce plans for live shows Australia with Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Chance The Rapper and Action Bronson, on what is sure to be one of the most controversial, offensive and ego-packed tours of 2014. Bring it on.
As yet, only one live show has been announced for the tour - taking place on 20 February 2014 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium (as reported by Hip-Hop Australia), but sources down under fully expect more shows to be announced in the coming weeks.
Eminem releases his new, eagerly awaited new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 on 5 November 2013, and has already hit headlines with the homophobic, violent lyrics of recently released track, 'Rap God'. Previous releases 'Berzerk' and 'Survival' passed under the radar without controversy, but 'Rap God' caused something of a stir online.

The most offensive lines in the track, singled out include: "break a motherfucker's table over the back of a couple f***ots and crack it in half," and worse still: "Little gay-looking boy / So gay I can barely say it with a straight face-looking boy / You witnessing massacre like you watching a church gathering taking place-looking boy / 'Oy vey, that boy's gay,' that's all they say looking-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go from your label every day-looking boy."
Action Bronson has based his career on being as shocking as possible, while Kendrick Lamar has recently made headlines with his verse on Big Sean's 'Control' track, hitting out at pretty much every other rapper in the game. It's sure to be on hell of an explosive show.
The star has yet to announce live shows in the UK, but fans are eagerly awaiting his return to these shores, following his spectacular headline show at Reading & Leeds Festival this summer.
