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

I don't mind some of his songs, but the one in the OP is absolutely horrible. It sounds like he's been hanging out with Britney Spears or something. Terrible.

Not exactly a fan (like know all the songs and the lyrics too) but I like a lot of his songs - at least the popular ones like Stan, White America, The Way I Am, Superman etc.

Always thought 'Kim' was major fucked up in an awesome way. :D Also once overplayed the crap out of Sing for a Moment which I would call my favorite Eminem track.

I'm into and play alternative, but this is nothing like his older stuff. I actually liked it.

Good for him.

I think still like the Slim Shady LP the best. ( Just | Still ) Don't Give a Fuck are probably my favourite tracks.

I would say he has the worst diss songs ( come on, he disses pop artists, benzino, ja rule ). The ones listed below are far better IMHO:

2nd round KO, Ether, Bitch in Yoo, Hit em Up, Long Kiss Goodnight, H to the OMO, No Vaseline, Westside Slaughtahouse, Rip vs Bis, Bridge is Over

Storyteller-wise I'd say Nas, Kool G Rap, Common, Biggie, Slick Rick, Jay-Z, Ice Cube, Immortal Technique, Cormega, Aesop Rock, Pharaohe Monche exceed him.. far overrated.

HUH Woosta? Nail In The Coffin is CLASSIC, good beat, hilarious disses. Who cares was aimed at wack ass Benzino, Em's diss of Limp Bizkit is freaking great too, I don't care how much L.B. sucks the song is pure win. Quitter & I Remember are both dope too. Em is a beast on diss tracks. 2nd round KO wasn't that good, Canibus sounded like a pissed off fan who was mad LL wouldn't give him an autograph. And the best line of the song was flipped back on him by L and Canibus was toast. The best disses are ones that are not just "fuck you!" and hardcore but have humor too. Nail In The Coffin is the perfect blend of being hardcore and hilarious.

Em has possibly the best collection of diss tracks ever, there are at least 20 I've heard and most are fire. Nail In The Coffin is my all time favorite though. Chino XL could out do Em but Chino only throws a single line at people, a whole diss track from Chino would be bananas.

Rakim said in an interview if Em was black he would have been the Ali of rap. When Rakim says you're basically the best that's saying a damn lot. Em has fallen off, but his diss tracks are better than anyone. He roasted Canibus on Can-I-Bitch and that wasn't even a track he made to release (leaked)

Can-I-Bitch link Bus was talking hella shit and had recorded a few diss songs, after this was leaked I haven't heard a peep from him about Em.

So I stabbed him twice, kept jabbin', Christ
He won't die, this guy's like a battered wife
He's like Kim, he keeps comin' back for more
But he won't fight back, I cracked his jaw
Hold up, 'Bis quit foldin' up!
Punch me in the chest make my shoulders touch!
Do somethin! At least one punchline
C'mon! till the meter reads 9-9-9-
ty-nine percent of my fans are blond
'Bis c'mon answer me man respond!
Tell me 'bout the sun rain moon and stars
Intergalatical metaphors from Mars!
Raw to the floor, raw like Reservoir Dogs
Bite another line from Redman's song


Em destroyed him, I guess I see why he didn't respond back again lol. Em didn't even go 100% and look what he did.


Em diss tracks

Quitter
I Remember
Invasion
Bully
Girls
The Sauce
Nail In The Coffin

there are others but I can't find them on Youtube

regardless of where he's at today, Em > others on diss tracks, it's not even close.

Bite another line from Redman's song

But in the projects, I visit Muhammad, in linen garments
Preaching Man, Woman, and Child, the living Prophet
And I'm similar, Nasir Bin Aluda Ra
Visqu Allah, fist full of dollars in the dice game God
The Ice King, God, the Black Christ, elegant stance
Clothes fit me like a crime boss, the menacing man
I see the world collapsing, young pregnancies
Young girls are fast and in their Sasoon jeans, no prophylactic
All this fast s*** and fly jewelry, now makes my eyes teary
N Y City, grab a hold and ride with me

Rip the FREEWAY, shoot through MEMPHIS with money bags
Stop in Philly, order cheese steaks and eat BEANS fast
And bring it back up top, remove the fake king of New York
You show off, I count off when you sample my voice
I rule you, before, you used to rap like the FU-SHNICKENS
NAS designed your BLUEPRINT, who you kidding?
Is he H TO THE IZZO, M TO THE IZZO?
For shizzle you phony, the rapping version of SISQO
And that's for certain, you clone me, your wack clothes line
I'd rather Sean John, bore me with your fake coke rhymes
And those times, they never took place, you liar
Hung was your first court case, you had no priors
You master fabricated stories of streets and sound slick
Have you surrounded, you and the lovely human you down with

While they riding NAS, trying to boost their careers
Corny as CORMEGA, all you Hip-Hop queers
Since ILLMATIC, IT WAS WRITTEN: I AM...NASTRADAMUS
That's the answers to the puzzle I gave you, now here's a promise
My next few albums, instead of projects,
They'll be a difficult test inside the cover for the mind's optics

Come in my hood, but bring the guns with you, it's dark
Headed through Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem, Staten, and Bronx
Headed through Compton, Oaktown, South Central, and Watts
New Orleans, Mississippi, Chi-town, every block
I'm trying to have my positive ways, I put my rhymes on page
Did crimes and headline on stage
I Signed a contract, so here it is, you have it
Streets disciple, I'm STILLMATIC

No way Em is touchin' Nas.

RE: LL

No rapper could rap quite like I can
You know who the f**k I am, I'm the canibus man
I had to rock to a beat like this to show you
That I'm iller then the future, the present, and the old you
I told you, wish you could take it all back don't you
Tried to smoke some canibus but canibus smoked you
Calling yourself the greatest is something you don't do
Cause after I humiliate you what will the G.O.A.T. do
You can't rap or act my main man
You goin' end up as an intern working for Def Jam
See you was never bad enough to battle with Canibus
You out of luck, I crushed you the minute I got tatted up
And every lie you told just added up cause you wasn't man enough
To be fair, but I'm mad a f**k and I've had enough
Jack the ripper or I'ma rip the jacker
Rape a rapper with a classic from his own masters
You're dead


There's a rumor going around that I got dropped
200,000 albums sold at 10 dollars a pop
300,000 albums were shipped, you do the math
Thats 3 million in 3 months so kiss my ass
All these magazines tried to steamroll me to death
Guess what, the G.O.A.T. ain't platinum and neither is 'Clef
And I'm still here, inspite of all that shit them niggaz said
The skinny kid, the music industry's guinea pig
Tighter then ever, world's chief mic recka
Tougher then reverend run's muthaf**kin' leatha
I'm hardcore, cum shot right in your wife's face
You soft porn, you held hands on the first date
See when you was making records like I need love
Your homie Cornell was givin' it to you up the butt

Plus I heard Simone was the high school slut
And she learned how to f**k before she knew how to cuss

***** you're dead


You married a slut and had kids with her to cover up your hustle
You and your man Russell made a better couple
Your probably mad as f**k, wondering where I got the information from
Your being watched even when you take a dump
Its impossible to front, you can't hide
The chairs at your label got ears and the walls got eyes
Your living one big lie the world just don't know
You take a polygraph test that shit would probably explode
The truth is mr. smith you got a f**ked up attitude
God knows that I pitty your fans for backing you
Yo, this be the realest shit I ever wrote
You should change your muthaf**kin' name from G.O.A.T. to G.L.O.A.T
The Greatest Liar Of All Time that cannot rhyme
That cannot shine as long as I'm alive
Your prime ended 8 months before '99
And that microphone on your arm will always be mine
***** you're dead


I told you to leave it alone, but you was too stubborn
Now your in a world where the hunter becomes the hunted
Your wife is scared cause she don't want to lose a husband
And somebody keeps paging you putting 4321 in
You can't sleep at night thinking about the drama
Shit stains all up in your phat farm pijamas
Even f.u.b.u. gear looks hot until it touches you
Probably because your father undoubtedly butt-f**ked you
Mama said knock who out? I'll punch that bitch in the mouth
Cause she don't know what she talking about
Ay yo, do me a favor when you see your ghostwriters
Tell them the rhymes they wrote for you should have been a lot tighter

You could have asked me, I'll write you some lines
I'll do anything for the greatest loser of all time
You still drippin' with wack juice 'cause you wack awesome dude
If you want the last word you can have it, I'm still iller
You're dead

Slaughtered, annihilated.

you are fucking alone on a deserted island thousands of miles from any sign of human, animal, or insect life...

i gave the song a shot and turned it off about 30 seconds in. that is some of the worst shit i have ever heard.

Bis had months to write his diss and knew everything about LL there was to know. LL knew next to nothing about Bis and won the battle by flippin a single line Bis used

99% of your fans don't exist That could have been the whole song and it would have been LL by a landslide. Most of Bi's fans are ones he made up hin his head. As he has next to none and will never be on the airwaves again. 2nd Round KO was his 15 seconds of fame and he owes 99.9% of what he has to the fact LL let him on 4,3,2,1 in the first place. Bis also said you ain't got the skills to eat a n***as ass like me which is wide regarded as one of the most homo lines ever. I have no problem with gay people, but that line is way out of place when you're dissin somebody.

Em's so sick Nas didn't want him to be on Cross, a track Em produced for Nas. Nas mentioned how Em made Jay look silly on his own track and didn't want to

At 100% nobody is touching Em, he probably will never be 100% again, but then again neither will Nas or most other rappers who were at the top at one point.

I would never claim to be no Ray Benzino
an 83 year old fake Pachino
So how can he hold me over some balcony
without throwin his lower back out as soon as he goes to lift me
Please dont, youl probably fall with me
and our asses will both be history
But then again youl'll finally get your wish
cuz youl be all over the street like 50 Cent
Fuckin punk pussy fuck you chump
gimme a one-on-one see if I dont fuck you up
Tryin to jump the Ruff Ryders and they cut you up
And you put Jada on a track thats how much you suck
dick in the industry, swear that you in the streets hustlin
You sit behind a fuckin desk at The Source butt-kissin
and beggin motherfuckers for guest appearences
and you can even get the clearances cuz real lyricists
dont even respect you or take you serious
Its not that we dont like you, we hate you - period
Talk about a mid-life crisis damn
last week you was shakin Obie Trice's hand
Now hes a busta? What the fucks with that?
Get on a track dissin us kissin 50's ass
and askin me what I know about inditements-bite me
bitch I got two cases, and probation - fight me


verse one from Nail In The Coffin, every line is relevant and not just him venting. Ether's crazy but it still isn't Nail In The Cofffin. Nail In The Coffin literally made Benzino stop rapping. A lot of people argue that Takeover was as good as Ether.

this song is horrible. eminem has previously released stuff that is funny or at least tolerable. hopefully the next song will be better...
