I don't wanna be like this
I don't really want to hurt your feelings
But I'm only being real when I say
Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap

Man, I don't really like Em's new stuff, but just reading some of the old shit he came up with is pretty crazy. Definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time.

50 Cent - Gatman and Robbin (ft Eminem) - 0:59

We're walking away from a beef in which clearly you started
I said we're walking away, did you hear me?
You oughta be thankful that we ain't beefin
We'll disagree and just leave it at (that!)
Cause if me and 50 and G-Unit hop back in that (bat!) mobile
It ain't gonna be no more rap it's gonna be (brrat!)
Retaliation, it'll be like them Muslim Shi'ite (attacks!)
Somewhere along the line it's like me and 50 made a (pact!)
He's got my back, I got his back (back!)
It's almost like we're kinda like Siamese twins
Cause when we beef we pull each other into the bullshit
Like we're conjoined at the hip, it's just unavoidable
Some of the shit is washable, some shit'll never boil over
Some of it will just simmer at best if left alone
But let it be known there will be no sitdowns
With no Ray Benzinos, there will be no peace discussions with me
There ain't gonna be no friendly debates over crumpets and tea
Just quit fucking with me and I'll gladly quit fucking with you
Just spit your sixteen and do what you gotta do to get through
Without mentioning me, or the machine of Jimmy Iovine or Dre or 50
Or D-Twizzie, Obie and just let it be
Or we'll be (knock knock) with a...

It's almost impossible for me to choose. I just love all of his work so damn much. His Forever verse blew me away the first time I heard it, since he just absolutely destroys everyone else on that track. I also really love the last verse of My Dad's Gone Crazy:

My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise
And at the same time, make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
See what you're seeing is a genius at work
Which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first,
Cuz when i speak, it's tongue in cheek
I'd yank my fuckin teeth before id ever bite my tongue
I'd slice my gums, get struck by fuckin' lightning twice at once
And die and come back as vanilla ice's son
And walk around the rest of my life spit on
And kicked and hit with shit, every time i sung
Like R Kelly as soon as "bump n' grind" comes on
More pain inside of my brain, than the eyes of a little girl inside of a
plane
Aimed at the World Trade, standin' on Ronnie's grave,
Screaming at the sky, till clouds gather as Clyde Mathers and Bonnie Jade
And thats pretty much the gist of it,Parents are pissed, but the kids love it
Nine millimeter, heater stashed, in two-seaters with meat cleavers
I don't blame you, i wouldn't let hailie listen to me neither

Fuck the haters, EM is a fucking beast.



He collab'd with Drake and Weezy, not because he wanted some of their shine, but because he wanted to set the record straight that he is untouchable when he's focused and motivated. He proved this gen of rappers can't hang with one of the greatest ever.


He tore them all some new assholes.

So are the Gaffers in this thread. I mean, they listen to Eminem.

I kid. I love Em. His verse in Beautiful is my favorite but Fastlane has some of the best rapping he's done in the last 7-8 years.

If you were 15, then of course it would be bangable. The rule for societal etiquette in the teens is +- Age is okay. So 14-15-16 are all okay to get fucked by a 14-15-16 year old. That said, if you wanna be a little older, go for it; I don't judge.

"Ooooh boy you drive me crazy", bitch you make me hurl...

First thing you say, "I'm not fazed, I hang around big stars all day
I don't see what the big deal is anyways
You're just plain old Marshall to me"
Ooooo ya' girl run that game

One of the greatest things about him is his ability to make pretty much anything he writes about funny, even if it's in some sort of twisted way.

Talkin' about I fabricated ma past,
He's just aggravated I won't ejaculate in his ass,

That's why we don't call it Detroit, we call it Amityville,
You could get capped after just havin' a cavity filled,

I got bitches on my dock out in East Detroit,
'Cos they think that I'm a motherfuckin' Beastie Boy,
I told 'em I was Mike D,
They was like, "Gee, I dunno, he might be"

Will someone please explain to my brain,
That I just severed a main vain with a chainsaw and I'm in pain,

'Cos I'm the one they can relate to and look up to better,
So tonight, I think I'll write my biggest fan a "Fuck You" letter,

Edit: Sorry, one more,

When I'm bein' sent to hell, and I'm gettin' ready to leave,
Ima put air in a bag, and charge people to breathe,

i'm not talking social etiquette. social etiquette is flaccid, fluid, never really here nor there.

There are so many...as this thread proves. He really is a fantastic writer. Sometimes I will be listening to a song for the 14th time, and only then does it really click. My problem is that I kind of need the lyrics in front of me to fully understand it a lot of the time.

don't you mean his last two albums were terrible(relapse and encore), and he needed to boost his public perception that he can make hit singles again?

he never did a fat joe/ja rule song(verses, with girl singing hook) until those two albums didnt sell as well as he thought they would.

e: i apparently pulled that out of my ass, it went 4x and 2x platinum. goddamn.

my fave em song to this day is still "i'm shady" off the slim shady lp

yea what jango said is truth.

as for her father: the dude has so many rhymes that flow perfectly its insane. I don't think he has a lot of meaningful lyrics like GZA, Rakim, and the like but he doesn't really need it with his word selections and such.

This is it. Absolutely AMAZING verse. Probably my GOAT. But good god, Em had so many amazing verses. Slim Shady LP is chock full of them.

You want a lesser known great one? Here's Stir Crazy with the Madd Rapper. (Plus Madd Rapper's verses are pretty awesome too.)

Em Verse 1 said:
I'm crazy with this razor with this razor I'm crazy
With this crazor I'm razy, razor crazed I'm crazy!
(Ok I'm Re-Loaded!!) Go Bring Jay-Z!!!
(Tell them him I'ma ghostwrite for him!!) Over Dre's Beats!!!
Ran in the ladies room naked in a blanket
At the banquet and started to spank it (AHHH!!)
Came in the bank with a tank, fired a blank
At the clerk and handcuffed her ankles to the safe and thanked her
But I didn't take nothing (Thanks!)
Every bullet came from the same gun
Just from different angles, cause I was pickin' strange places to aim from
(Mad Rapper: Man, I bet you 50 bucks you won't jump out the window
Shady)
(Crash) (Ahhhh!!) Pay me
Click to expand...

Em Verse 2 said:
I got a beautiful wife, kids and a gorgeous home
What would make jump in the tub with a cordless phone?
I'm straight viscious I hit you with plates and dishes
Leave you eight stitches, what I'm gay cause I hate bitches?
Slut dont be nice to me, I've had it with girls
And i'll still be mad at the world, even if it apoligized to me (Sorry!)
You're hearing the last thoughts of a man about to blow his fuckin' brains out
Fall back with a blood stained blouse on top of his spouse
Spread out on a blood stained couch
In front of his kids that he just killed in the same house
I'm sicker than Boy George picturin' Michael Jackson
In little boys' drawers shoppin' at toy stores **whistling**
Shady said it, Shady meant it, I stay demented
I'll throw a stroller at u, with a baby in it
Go ahead pull the plug, think I won't smack you
I just dropped a fuckin' pill mom, dont vacuum!!!

T.I. - That's All She Wrote (ft Eminem) - 3:24

Yeah, I guess life is a bitch, ain't it TIP
And each one thinks they the shit
Shirt off my back, I wouldn’t give you the dirt off my handkerchief
I’m giving these hoes a dose of their own medicine
Let em get a good taste of it
I’m sure you got that relationship memo by now
But in case you didn't
I'mma stick this whole pad full of sticky notes to your forehead and staple it
Life is too short and I got no time to sit around just wasting it
So I pace this shit a little bit quicker
That clock I'm racing it, double timing it
But I still spit triple the amount of insults in a tenth of the time
It may take you pricks to catch on
While you strong, I'm like like Stretch Armstrong
Man I still say K-Mart like there's an apostrophe “S” on it dog
And they say McDonald's isn’t a restaurant, well I guess I’m wrong
But if you gon' tell me that the A&W ain't the spot for the best hot dogs
You can get the “F” on dawg

His wordsmithing and ability to make rhymes where none should exist without the combination of the beat or the flow of the song are truly on a level very few can say to have been on. I fucking love the English language, and his (occasionaly perverse or extension) use of it never ceases to amaze me, regardless of the topic he is banging on about. The OP is full of tight examples of this, and just reading them brought a smile to me.

As others have said, sometimes it's not until I've listened to the song a few times before a particular verse clicks, but when it does it's a pure moment.

When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
Lol @ the OP quoting some recent eminem


My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
Cause when we die we know were all going the same way
It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
They threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away
 
D

~Devil Trigger~

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
Nobody better test me, cuz I don't wanna get messy
Especially when I step inside this bitch, dick freshly
New Lugz, give the crew hugs, guzzle two mugs
Before I do drugs that make me throw up like flu bugs
True thugs, rugged unshaven messy scrubs
Whippin' 40-bottles like the fuckin' Pepsi clubs
Down a fifth, crack open a six
I'm on my seventh 8-ball, now I gotta take a piss
I'm hollerin' at these hoes that got boyfriends
Who gives a fuck who they was
I'm always takin' someone else's girl like Cool J does
They probably don't be packin' anyways, do they Fuzz?
We walked up, stomped they asses and blew they buzz
Mics get sandblasted
Stab your abdomen with a hand crafted pocketknife and spill your antacid
Sprayed your motherfuckin' crib up when I ran past it
Fuckin' felon, headed to hell in a handbasket
Talkin' shit will get you, your girl and your man blasted
Kidnapped and slapped in a van wrapped in Saran plastic
Get your damn ass kicked, by these fantastic
Furious four motherfuckers
Flashin' in front of your face without the Grand Masters

Slim Shady, ain't nobody iller than me

The flow is SICK

This is why I love Eminem. While everyone else is making a bunch of clever metaphors and similes, he is creating vivid poetry.

And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works

WHAT IS THIS, I JUST DON'T EVEN :bow:

Surprised "Drop the World" hasn't been mentioned yet. His best verses are between that and:

Lose Yourself
I am
Renegade
No Love
Forever
Not afraid

He is really at the top of his game because his verses in the recently released songs have blown me away much more so than previous albums. For him to do that after being in the spotlight for so long adds to the talent he has.
