Breaking bread means sharing what they’ve got (see previous lines) and pinching a loaf is taking a dump. He’s on top of the game and still shitting.

The rap game chewed him up and spitted him out, but he’s back now. Remember the lines of “Lose Yourself”: “I’ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage”

Eminem also pronounces “him” like “Em” which is a shorter way to say Eminem’s name. This refers to the line above where Em says that he “used to be called M&M but he threw away the candy and ate the rapper”. He ate and chewed the M&M persona up and spit the Eminem persona out, which is who he is now.

Em suggests that the aforementioned feminists really love someone like him, who gives them an excuse to get indignant over his antics but is also attractive to them. This is in keeping with the song’s message that the way artists and media are judged is essentially hypocritical, and entertainment values always trump moral conviction in our culture in the end.

In “White America” he raps:

But Shady’s cute, Shady knew Shady’s dimples would help
Make ladies swoon, baby (ooh, baby!) — look at my sales!

The you-know-what he’s grabbing refers to his habit of grabbing his testicles during performances, while “flip someone the bird” is an idiomatic expression which means giving the middle finger, another Eminem signature.
