I never realized how much I actually like Eminem's music until his new single just came out...

I really dig his new single, Crack a Bottle. A few years back I used to find his stuff kinda annoying, but this new single got me to listen back to his old stuff and its really not half bad.

Am I alone here? :)

He's matured as an artists. I can't listen to his early stuff since its just teen rebeillion emo type shit even though he was in his 20's. He's really taken to his music the last few years and actually raps with a message now instead of just against the man.

I used to love his stuff, but going back and listening, not as good as I remember lol. I do like his newer stuff though

If you are the same age range as myself (23) I think it is probably because he has matured as we have, from a teen angst, rebellion to a more natural view of the world through our own political spectrum. It's interesting growing with an artist like this who raps as you and him both move through the same life phases.

Agreed on this statement. I also feel that after going back and checking some of his older stuff out recently, that I like him more than I did before.

I like Eminem's first album much more than anything he's released since. Brain damage > *

He's just not cut out for delivering serious, topical messages. He should just stick to rapping about mushrooms and cartoonish violence.


edit: 90 seconds into the single in the op and I'm closing the window. This is terrible. garbage. utter filth.

he should have retired long ago. he seems to have run out of things that he knows how to rap about.

Hmmmm.... And what message might that be?

"with a record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults, and 4 murders,
the undisputed, most diabolic villain in the world :
Slim Shady!"


Rape bitches beat people up and kill your enemies. Interesting.

"So crack a bottle, let your body waddle "

Get fucked up!!!!!

"Now where?s the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?"

Practice safe sex..... good thinking.

"Kiss my butt. Lick the wonder cheese from under my nuts"


That's as far as I can go....... The only "message" I see in there is, "Do what I say in this song and you can grow up to be just like me!". No thanks.

Money money expensive cars drinks parties banging bitches blah blah ZzzzzzZzzzzzZzzzzz...

Ooww Ladies and gentlemen
The moment you?ve all been waiting for ..
In this corner : weighing 175 pounds,
with a record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults, and 4 murders,
the undisputed, most diabolic villain in the world :
Slim Shady!

Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle
Don?t act like a snobby model you just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh, bitch3s hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got gloves
Now where?s the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there?s so many of them
and there?s really not that many of us.
Ladies love us and my posse?s kicking up dust.
It?s on till the break of dawn
and we?re starting this party from dusk

Ok ? let?s go

Eminem
Back wit Andre, the giant, mister elephant tusk
Fix your mugs, you?ll just be another one bit the dust
Just one of my mothers son who got thrown under the bus
Kiss my butt. Lick the wonder cheese from under my nuts
It disgusts me to see the game the way that it looks
Its a must I redeem my name n haters get mushed.
Bitch3s lust. Man they love me when I lay in the cut.
Fist the cup. The lady gave her eighty some paper cut.
Now picture us. Its ridiculous you curse at the thought
Cuz when I spit the verse the sh-t
gets worse then worcestershire sauce
If I could fit the words as picture perfect, works every time
Every verse, every line, as simple as nursery rhymes
Its elementary. The elephants have entered the room.
I venture to say we're the center of attention its true
Not to mention back with a vengeance so here?s the signal
Of the bat symbol. The platinum trio?s back on you hoes.

Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle.
Don?t act like a snobby model.
You just hit the lotto.
O-oh o-oh, bitches hopping in my Tahoe .
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got gloves
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there?s so many of them
and there?s really not that many of us.
Ladies love us and my posses kicking up dust.
Its on till the break of dawn and were starting this party from dusk.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Dre

Dr Dre
They see that low rider go by they're, like Oh my!
You ain?t got to tell me why you?re sick cuz I know why.
I dip through in that six trey like sick em Dre.
I?m an itch that they cant scratch, they?re sick of me.
But hey, what else can I say? I love LA.
Cuz over and above all, its just another day
And this one begins where the last one ends.
Pick up where we left off and get smashed again.
I?ll be dammed, just f*cked around and crashed my Benz.
Driving around with a smashed front end
Lets cash that one in.
Grab another one from out the stable
The Monte Carlo, El Camino or the El Dorado
The hell if I know.
Do I want leather seats or vinyl?
Decisions, decision
Garage looks like Precision Collision.
Or Maaco beats quake like Waco
Just keep the bass low speakers away from your face though

Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle.
Don?t act like a snobby model .
You just hit the lotto.
O-oh o-oh, bitches hopping in my Tahoe .
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got clothes
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there?s so many of them
and there?s really not that many of us.
Ladies love us and my posses kicking up dust.
Its on till the break of dawn and were starting this party from dusk.

And I take great pleasure in introducing: 50 Cent

50 Cent
It?s bottle after bottle
The money ain?t a thang when you party with me
Its what we into its simple
We ball out of control like you wouldn?t believe
I?m the napalm the bomb the don i?m King Kong
Get rolled on wrapped up and reigned on
I?m so calm through Vietnam ring the alarm
Bring the shaun dawn burn marajauan do what you want
***** on and on till the break of what
Get the paper man i?m caking you know i don?t give a f*ck
I spend it like it don?t mean nothing
Blow it like its supposed to be blown
Motherf*cker i?m grown
I stunt i style i flash the sh-t
I gets what the f*ck i want so what I trick
Fat ass birkin bags classy sh-t Jimmy Choo shoes
I say move a bitch move

Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle.
