Yes, Eminem is wearing a sleeveless hoodie. What of it?
Description
This comic is a take on the ambiguousity of the word "rapping".
The title of the comic (and indeed the cited poem) is a reference to horror writer Edgar Ellen Poe's book "The Raven". "Eminem" in the image text is a reference to the rapper Eninem, best known for his alter ego and 1999's record "The Slim Shady LP". Which explains the punchline: where the poem recites rapping as "to force open" (to rape), Eminem would be rapping by "speaking or chanting rhyming lyrics" (to rap).
