well i say it was. I remember it being a big deal. I remember even seeing it on my local news @ 10.
It did create angst. So much so that Em did a duet with Elton John to make up. And everyone knows about the Elton John/Eminem duet they did with the hug at the end and everything.
I remember watching it and i was like wow.

When you're like the most influential rapper of your time, like Em was, with how influential rap was, and still is, (with how gargabe the game is now) and to sing stuff like "whether you a ffag or lez, or a homosex, hermaph or a tranz-a-ves, pants or dress, hate fagz? the answers "yes,"", that's bound to cause big controversy.
