Eminem a genius? Wow, takes alot of grey matter to come up his masterpieces. For a definition of genius, check Warren Zevon or Bob Dylan.

 

haha bob dylan

 

Dylan couldn't freestyle. There are not many people who can.

[Chisoxfn]

Bob Dylan and the Beatles, they are great. No....not great, but exceptional.

[cwsox]

Beatles, Dylan, certainly genius. So are Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

 

Warren Zevon is an exceptional talent, who we will lose shortly, sadly.

 

Eminem is certainly genius. Those who knock rap don't realize the work effort and musicanship that goes into rap, and Em not only has the work ethic in supreme, he he unparalled as a wordsmith.

 

Deifferent genres of music require different things. Em is real talent, the real thing, whether one appreciates the art form or not.

Do you people really bu into the whole "I lived a rough life , I 'm a thug" bulls***? Remember the last white rapper who thought he was black? Vanilla Ice! The guy who said he grew up in a black area in the projects . Turns out he grew up in a rich area with white people. Eminem is all about getting atention and he's done it well. I just dont buy into it. 

 

Don't let the false hatred fool you Sox fans. Mike South is the AUTHORITY on Vanilla Ice. :metal

 

HA!

baggs, the one song I'm aware of that he does that in is the song called "I'm Back."  He suggets that if his mother was Jennifer Lopez he'd do it.

 

Chorus: Eminem (repeat 4X)

 

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm Back) 

I'm Back (I'm Back) [sLIM SHADY!] I'm Back

 

[Eminem]

I murder a rhyme one word at a time

You never, heard of a mind as perverted as mine

You better, get rid of that nine, it ain't gonna help

What good's it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?

I'm waitin for hell like hell s*** I'm anxious as hell

Manson, you're safe in that cell, be thankful it's jail

I used to be my mommy's little angel at twelve

Thirteen I was puttin shells in a gauge on a shelf

I used to, get punked and bullied on my block

'til I cut a kitten's head off and stuck it in this kid's mailbox

{"Mom! MOM!"} I used to give a - f***, now I could give a f*** less

What do I think of suc-cess? It sucks, too much press I'm stressed

Too much stares two breasts, too upset

It's just too much mess, I guess I must just blew up quick (yes)

Grew up quick (no) was raised right

Whatever you say is wrong, whatever I say is right

You think of my name now whenever you say, "Hi"

Became a commodity because I'm W-H-I-

-T-E, cuz MTV was so friendly to me

Can't wait 'til Kim sees me

Now is it worth it? Look at my life, how is it perfect?

Read my lips b****, what, my mouth isn't workin?

You hear this finger? Oh it's upside down

Here, let me turn this motherf***er up right now

 

Chorus

 

[Eminem]

I take each individual degenerate's head and reach into it

just to see if he's influenced by me if he listens to music

And if he feeds into this s*** he's an innocent victim

and becomes a puppet on the string of my tennis shoe 

{*vocal scratches*} My name is Slim Shady

I been crazy way before radio didn't play me

The sensational {*vocal scratch "Back is the incredible!"*}

With Ken Kaniff, who just finds the men edible

It's Ken Kaniff on the, internet

Tryin to, lure your kids with him, into bed

It's a, sick world we live in these days

"Slim for Pete's sakes put down Christopher Reeve's legs!"

Geez, you guys are so sensitive

"Slim it's a touchy subject, try and just don't mention it"

Mind with no sense in it, fried to get so frenetic

whose eyes get so squinted, I'm blind from smokin 'em

with my windows tinted, with nine limos rented

Doin lines of coke in 'em, with a bunch of guys hoppin out 

all high and indo scented {*inhales, exhales*}

And that's where I get my name from, that's why they call me

 

Chorus

 

[Eminem]

I take seven [----] from [---------], stand 'em all in line

Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine

a Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine

and that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time

Cause (I'mmmm) Shady, they call me as crazy

as the world was over this whole Y2K thing

And by the way, N'Sync, why do they sing?

Am I the only one who realizes they stink?

Should I dye my hair pink and care what y'all think?

Lip sync and buy a bigger size of earrings?

It's why I tend to block out when I hear things

Cause all these fans screamin is makin my ears ring (AHHHH!!!)

So I just, throw up a middle finger and let it linger

longer than the rumor that I was stickin it to Christina

Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz it'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this!

I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a f*** if this chick was my own mother

I still f*** her with no rubber and cum inside her

and have a son and a new brother at the same time

and just say that it ain't mine, what's my name?

Chorus

 

[Eminem {*vocal scratching*}]

Guess who's b-back, back

Gue-gue-guess who's back (Hi mom!)

{*scratch*} Guess who's back

{*scratch*} Gue {*scratch*} guess who's back

D-12 {*scratch*} Guess who's back

Gue, gue-gue-gue, guess who's back

Dr. Dre {*scratch*} Guess who's back

Back back {*scratch*} back

{*scratch*} 

Slim Shady, 2001

I'm blew out from this blunt (*sighs*) f***

 

Obviously you have access to the lyrics of each of his songs. Why don't you post the one where he talks about killing his wife and then tell his daughter things like "that's only ketchup on mommy's shirt..." My wife liked his music up until she heard that song. As for me, I can take or leave it.

[CubKilla]

Bob Dylan exceptional? I must have missed the bus on that one :puke The Beatles are the definition of exceptional though. I can't think of one group with so much influence in all of Rock and Roll. The true genius of the Beatles is that much of the music..... lyrically, structurally, and symbolically is still relevant today. And that includes much of McCartney's, Lennon's, and Harrison's solo stuff.

[CubKilla]

P.S. Eminem won't be relevant 40+ years from now like the Beatles are. GUARANTEED!

[cwsox]

I do believe that Em will be relevant 40 years from now, but no way we can prove that now!

 

Some referenced the song Kim. Take that song of context at face value on that album and it sounds horrible. You can do that with a lot of things - Wagner's operas, Bob Marley and Eric Clapton singing "I shot the sheriff."

 

Em makes the point very clearly about who is in massive need of help - the one who commits violence. That song graphically and accurately portrays the escalation of domestic violence, but it does not advocate it, any more than Oliver Stone advocated mass murder in Natural Born Killers, or Bret Perry Ellis advocated torture and murder in American Psycho, or Picasso advocated war in Guerrnica.

 

I just came back from court getting PPOs on an asshole who beats up on women. I wish he would listen to Eminem because Em is clear on who is doing wrong here.

[Eminem]

Aww look at daddy's baby girl

That's daddy baby

Little sleepy head

Yesterday I changed your diaper

Wiped you and powdered you.

How did you get so big?

Can't believe it now your two

Baby you're so precious

Daddy's so proud of you

Sit down b****

If you move again I'll beat the s*** out of you

 

[Eminem](Eminem as Kim)

(Okay)

Don't make me wake this baby

She don't need to see what I'm about to do

Quit crying b****, why do you always make me shout at you?

How could you?

Just leave me and love him out the blue

Oh, what's a matter Kim?

Am I too loud for you?

Too bad b****, your gonna finally hear me out this time

At first, I'm like all right

You wanna throw me out? That's fine!

But not for him to take my place, are you out you're mind?

This couch, this TV, this whole house is mine!

How could you let him sleep in our bed?

Look at Kim

Look at your husband now!

(No!)

I said look at him!

He ain't so hot now is he?

Little punk!

(Why are you doing this?)

Shut the f*** up!

(You're drunk! You're never going to get away at this!)

You think I give a f***!

Come on we're going for a ride b****

(No!)

Sit up front

(Well I can't just leave Haley alone, what if she wakes up?)

We'll be right back

Well I will you'll be in the trunk

 

1 - So long, b**** you did me so wrong

I don't wanna go on

Living in this world without you

 

Repeat 1

 

You really f***ed me Kim

You really did a number on me

Never knew me cheating on you would come back to haunt me

But we was kids then Kim, I was only 18

That was years ago

I thought we wiped the slate clean

That's f***ed up!

(I love you!)

Oh God my brain is racing

(I love you!)

What are you doing?

Change the station I hate this song!

Does this look like a big joke?

(No!)

There's a four year old boy lyin' dead with a slit throat

In your living room, ha-ha

What you think I'm kiddin' you?

You loved him didn't you?

(No!)

Bulls*** you b**** don't f***ing lie to me

What the f***'s this guy's problem on the side of me?

f*** you asshole, yeah bite me

Kim, KIM!

Why don't you like me?

You think I'm ugly don't you

(It's not that!)

No you think I'm ugly

(Baby)

Get the f*** away from me, don't touch me

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE YOU

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU

How the f*** could you do this to me?

(Sorry!)

How the f*** could you do this to me?

 

Repeat 1 (2x)

 

Come on get out

(I can't I'm scared)

I said get out b****!

(Let go of my hair, please don't do this baby)

(Please I love you, look we can just take Haley and leave)

f*** you, you did this to us

You did it, it's your fault

Oh my God I'm crackin' up

Get a grip Marshall

Hey remember the time we went to Brian's party?

And you were like so drunk that you threw up all over Archie

That was funny wasn't it?

(Yes!)

That was funny wasn't it?

(Yes!)

See it all makes sense, doesn't it?

You and your husband have a fight

One of you tries to grab a knife

And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adam's apple sliced

(No!)

And while this is goin' on

His son just woke up and he just walks in

She panics and he gets his throat cut

(Oh my God!)

So now they both dead and you slash your own throat

So now it's double homicide and suicide with no note

I should have known better when you started to act weird

We could've...HEY! Where you going? Get back here!

You can't run from me Kim

It's just us, nobody else!

You're only making this harder on yourself

Ha! Ha! Got'cha!

(Ahh!)

Ha! Go ahead yell!

Here I'll scream with you!

AH SOMEBODY HELP!

Don't you get it b****, no one can hear you?

Now shut the f*** up and get what's comin to you

You were supposed to love me

{*Kim choking*}

NOW BLEED! b**** BLEED!

BLEED! b**** BLEED! BLEED!

[cwsox]

and don;t forget verse 4 of Stan:

 

 

 

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just

been busy.

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along

is she?

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your

daughter that.

And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it

on your Starter cap.

 

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have

missed you.

Don't think I did that s*** intentionally, just to

diss you.

And what's this s*** you said about you like to cut

your wrists too?

I say that s*** just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how f***ed

up is you?

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some

counselin'

To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you

get down some.

 

And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?

That type of s***'ll make me not want us to meet each

other.

I really think you and your girlfriend need each

other.

Or maybe you just need to treat her better.

I hope you get to read this letter.

I just hope it reaches you in time.

Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'd be doin'

just fine

If you'd relax a little. I'm glad that I inspire you,

but Stan

Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want

you as a fan.

I just don't want you to do some crazy s***.

I seen this one s*** on the news a couple weeks ago

that made me sick.

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was

pregnant with his kid

And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who

it was to

Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.

DAMN!

That's his whole point. People take his lyrics too seriously.
