Eminem observation
 
The same guy who made the chilling anti-beef anthem "Toy Soldiers" is now in a full on diss-track battle with Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

Do you wat me to say that again slower? Mariah Carey. And Nick Cannon.

Haha...He went hard on her in that "Warning" diss song

Because somebody had to.

I've never really listened to the guy, having been well past my very brief rap phase by the time he burst upon the scene. What little I heard of him, he seemed to be decent ... annoying voice but clever enough lyrics. Just really not my thing. But this? Man, I dunno ... it seems so fucking junior high. Who's buying it? His fans from back in the day (who've gotta be at least in their late 20's by now) or a new generation of fans?

Kylerobert 07.31.2009 03:54 PM

It's hip hop. He took a jab at her...she shot back...he shoots back.
That's the way it is. I find it very entertaining.
I might be bias because I think eminem is awesome.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 07.31.2009 04:03 PM

Tight track. I like the part about him cumming on her stomach.

Kylerobert 07.31.2009 04:05 PM

Pre-Cum in fact

jerf 07.31.2009 05:04 PM

eminem? what is this, 2003?

he was funny for like a month in junior high. after that, his shit got old.

Derek 07.31.2009 05:23 PM

I think people forget that he made two albums of genius at the start of his mainstream career. Great beats with some amazing, witty, intelligent rhymes.

And now he's just insulting his own intelligence

Nah, Relapse was great. Not as good as his first 2, of course. Eminem Show was quite good too. He only has one TERRIBLE album.

Eminem is awesome. I know all the words to his first 2 albums. I listen to him all the time.


JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Derek 07.31.2009 06:18 PM

My favourite Eminem line is in 'Role Model' when he says, "How can I be white? I don't even exist."

Relapse had... some good tracks in it but I thought most of it was garbage. Still looking forward to Relapse 2 of course.

Oh, I know. It's just that some people were completely insulting his entire career which isn't fair.

atsonicpark 07.31.2009 06:20 PM

On Relapse, he really stepped up his game. Some of his best rapping ever. I'll agree there are some garbage tracks, but he improved 100-fold from his last album, so perhaps I'm being really forgiving here. But I liked it.

Role Model's always been my favorite track... "I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave, die from an overdose -- then dig myself outta my grave. My middle finger won't go down, how do I wave? And this is how we're supposed to teach kids how to behave?" brilliant.

KILLED BOTH, SMEARED BLOOD ON A WHITE BRONCO [we did it!]. My mind won't work if my spine don't jerk, I slapped Garth Brooks out of his rhinestone shirt. Haha.

Derek 07.31.2009 06:28 PM

I agree he improved from Encore with Relapse, it was bound to happen. I just thought his voice got extremely grating on some tracks ("3am", "My Mom") and some of the beats were terrible ("Bagpipes From Baghdad" and some other ones I'm not remembering). It's not a bad album by any stretch though.

Well since age 12 I've felt like I'm someone else cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt.

Anyone else find it kind of funny how on the Marshall Mathers LP, it goes from the frightening "Kim" to the comedic "Under the Influence"? I just thought the transition was really amusing.

noisereductions 07.31.2009 06:29 PM

I'm a fan. But RELAPSE is pretty terrible. Search for my other thread about it if you care to.

viewtiful_alan 07.31.2009 06:56 PM

I was hoping he'd go after the hip-hop community, the soulja boys, etc. but he didnt'... instead he went after the same fucking people you see on e! news... what's up with him...?

atsonicpark 07.31.2009 07:04 PM

He knows if he insults another rapper, Hayley might get shot or molested.

viewtiful_alan 07.31.2009 07:10 PM

He still needs to go after Soulja Boy... I don't think Soulja boy would be ablet o do shit, its not likes em is above it.

noisereductions 07.31.2009 07:10 PM

That's what's kind of weird. I mean you want to make a comeback? You want to raise eyebrows? You want to prove that you've still got it? Then call out Lil Wayne, or Ghostface, or Clipse, or DOOM or someone who's fucking unstoppable right now. That would be ballsy and impressive. Not taking popshots at Mariah. Yawn.

viewtiful_alan 07.31.2009 07:13 PM

You hear ghostface is making an r&b album...?
Nah Em respects Wayne.. allegedly
