Eminem’s evolution as an artist since his pre-rapping time is impressing.
Eminem’s musical evolution goes along with his personal evolution.
While listening to the Infinite LP, we can feel a young man who is in search for love and recognition. We can also feel his hard struggle for fame. He already got verbal skills (if you doubt it, just check out the lyrically rich song ‘ Infinite ‘), but he lacked experience in the music industry and the marketing of his product which explains the flop of his first album.
When Eminem speaks about his former Infinite album, he describes it as a kind of ‘ demo ‘:
“Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.” – (Eminem)
When Eminem felt like everything was lost, the Bass Brothers came up with the brilliant concept of a ‘ shock rapper ‘. The Infinite album was too soft, maybe too common to attract numerous people. In fact, Eminem’s long term collaborators, the Bass Brothers, had just offered Marshall Mathers the first key to success:
‘ We came up with the idea of shock rap. When we went to Interscope [Eminem’s parent record company] we worked him as the Marilyn Manson of rap. Marshall was about 24 at this time, things were going a little berserk in his life, we were getting turned away by labels that didn’t want a white rapper and some of the anger started coming out of him. We said, ‘You’ve got to let this out and ride with it.’ ‘(Jeff and Marky Bass)
The idea of shock rap had just matured into their heads. But this concept needed to become reality. A reality that would be personified by Slim Shady, Eminem’s alter ego.
And this is how the entity Slim Shady became Eminem’s creation:
‘ I was takin’ a shit. I swear to God. And the fuckin’ name just popped into my head. Then I started thinkin’ of twenty million things that rhymed with it. ‘
Slim Shady’s introduction to the world appears in Eminem’s offensive and creative production, the Slim Shady EP. A production that was good enough to impress Dr Dre, who signed Eminem to his Aftermath label after listening to his demo.
The 10 tracks EP clearly reveals Eminem’s talent and widespread imagination. ‘ Low, Down, Dirty ‘ and ‘ Murder, Murder ‘ will make you appreciate Eminem’s narrative skills.
The Slim Shady EP is a masterpiece of work that will be followed by the Slim Shady LP. The provocative Slim Shady LP will open the doors to Eminem’s success. The Slim Shady LP will intelligently combine Eminem and Dr Dre’s talent.
The Slim Shady LP is Eminem’s first reality show: it exposes his frustrations, his harsh childhood, his crazy mom’s behavior, his drug addictions, his every day life and his constant struggle to become famous. Songs like ‘ Rock Bottom ‘ and ‘ If I Had ‘ can be pictured as a philosophical reflexion about life and the human condition.
The offensiveness, the sadness and the provocative content make the beauty of Eminem’s first successful album.
The Marshall Mathers LP will accentuate Eminem’s provocative’s side; it will also add some enemies to his list.
The Marshall Mathers LP is also the mirror of Eminem’s personal mistakes and exposes his time of trouble and his legal battles with his mom, who was unable to face the truth exposed to the public’s eye.
The ‘ misogynistic ‘ and ‘ homophobic ‘ content of Eminem’s lyrics in his second album- which by the way is typical to hip hop culture- has offended gay and lesbian activists from the GLAAD, who didn’t hesitate to misquote Eminem in order to prove his ‘ homophobia ”
Lyrics like the lyrics of the song ‘ Criminal ‘ were published in the form of exerpts on the GLAAD’s wesbite:
http://www.glaad.org/media/archive_detail.php?id=65
‘ My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That’ll stab you in the head
whether you’re a fag or lez
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress – hate fags? The answer’s ‘yes”
Of course, the following line was completely ignored:
‘ C’mon!– Relax guy, I like gay men’ ‘
In no time, Eminem had become the ‘ icon for homophobia and misogyny ‘. Ridiculous? Certainly.
Because bad publicity is better than no publicity at all in the pop world, even those activists helped Eminem to increase his records’ sales.
The Marshall Mathers LP is hard work from a brilliant mind. It is full of dark humor and poetry. It reveals great writing skills and verbal dexterity. Songs like ‘ Stan ‘, ‘ Drug Ballad ‘ and ‘ The Way I Am ‘ are poetry. Marshall Mathers exactly knows how to put words and syllables together. His words, his syllables, his sentences are put into the right place to make you feel the sensations that are expressed at the very moment you are listening to the song.
The Eminem Show is more politically oriented. It offers much more criticism against the Bush administration. It is also influenced by the drama of September the 11th.
The Eminem Show offers us the work of a matured man who has learnt from his former mistakes.
Some people thought that Eminem had lost his edge when the Eminem Show was released in 2002. I think that his edge has just to be found elsewhere: in his political engagement against the Bush policy for instance.
In the meantime, Eminem has also shown to the world his ability to act with the release of his movie,8 Mile. The 8 Mile soundtracks features great songs like ‘ Lose Yourself ‘ and ‘ 8 Mile Road ‘ that will spread a great message of hope. It can be summarized in three words: ‘ Follow your dreams. ‘
Since 1996, Eminem has fulfilled his greatest dreams. He has even released his own cartoon. Slim Shady lovers will enjoy the ‘ Slim Shady Show ‘.
Since 2001, he has introduced his group, D12, to the world with the release of Devil’s Night that has been followed by ‘ D12 World ‘ in 2004.
The talented rapper has also proven to be a successful businessman with the release of his own clothing line, Shady Limited.
It’s been a long way for Marshall Mathers since the release of the Infinite album. A way to success that hasn’t been without struggles, controversy and a lot of pain, but that’s exactly what makes Eminem’s greatness. He is an example for anybody of us never to give up our dreams.

Ever heard about the Detroit Fat Killaz? If you haven’t, you have probably heard about underground rapper King Gordy who played ‘ Big O ‘ in Eminem’s ‘ 8 Mile ‘ movie.
He is one of the four emcees from the local scene group. His three less known fellows are Fatt Father, MarvWon, Shim-E Bango. Maybe less known in the world, but they already managed to impress the Detroit local scene and they are even successful nationwide.
In a society that counts calories, being fat is beautiful and sexy in the Fat
Killaz’ eyes:
‘ We want to be looked at as big sex symbols, with the ability to entertain and amaze crowds,’ (Fatt Father)
‘We love being fat. I think being fat is being sexy. We want to be the next fat phenomenon. ‘ (Shim E Bango)
This is how the concept of four fat artists’ collaboration came out:
“The idea for a concept about fat rappers came out of conversatio
ns after open mics. We thought about what we could do ,it was four different personalities. It’s a mixture. . . . When we get together it’s like one big meal.” (Fatt Father)
King Gordy clearly expressed it: the Fat Killaz are Detroit’s new menace in hip hop: their ambition is to ‘ annihilate the rap game ‘.
The quartett has collaborated with the greatest Detroit artists, including D12 and Obie Trice.
MarWon describes himself as the ‘ incomparable Marvin ‘:
‘ Yo, this is the incredible, incomparable Marvin Wonderful. F. K. til the death day ya know what I’m sayin. I’m the phenom of the group, ya know I’m the phenom of the group. I been rhymin bout 4 years.. I’m lyrically top 5 in the country ya know what I’m sayin.. With the other three niggas bein in my group and maybe Em… Ya know, we make up the top 5. Killahz ya know what I’m sayin… We everything right now. ‘
You will be able to admire Marvwon from the Fat Killaz aka Marvin O’ Neil’s performance in the bonus footage of the 8 Mile DVD.
MarvWon who battled about 140 other rappers, had the chance to battle Eminem, who was not supposed not respond because he started having some problems with his voice. But Eminem decided that it was worth to challenge his adversary.
Marvin recalls the event:
‘ It was a shot where I was spinning it and Eminem was supposed to just pantomime his response. But he clicked on his mic and spun it back. He must have thought what I said was worthy enough to respond… He’s the best out there, there’s none better’ ‘
What summarizes better Detroit’s Fat Killaz? The answer is clearly their love for Detroit City:
‘ First of all, we love the city of Detroit. We love our city, we love the response we gettin, we love our fans for those of you who are our fans. We love our label. No Tyze Entertainment, put it in the air… Uhh fuck all you haters, death to you. ‘ (Fatt Father

D12 are planning two movies, according to press reports:

Her love for Eminem’s music has cost her a ban from England and Wales. Sharon Mc Loughlin used to play Eminem’s ‘ Stan ‘ at a loud level:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/tm_objectid=14493170&method=full&siteid=50143&headline=reclaim-our-streets–stan-and-deliver-name_page.html
Which made her neighbors’ every day life to a nightmare. Not everybody likes Eminem, particularly played at a loud level.
Her behavior has lead to her neighbor’s depression:
“My settee moves across the living room, my 15-month-old son’s cot moves across the floor and the constant music has me permanently on edge. My GP has prescribed me anti-depression tablets to cope.”
The British 33 years old woman’s story is a precedent: she’s the first person to be banned from the UK for such reasons.
Having experienced loud neighbors 5 years ago, I know how disturbing such behavior can be, but still, I am questioning myself about the measuring of decibels in this story. There seems to be something wrong with it.
First, the article from the UK Mirror states:
‘ Environmental health officers monitored it at 65 decibels – as loud as a passing train ‘
65 decibels don’t seem to be that loud and they certainly can’t be compared to a passing train that reaches around 100 decibels, as the following website tends to prove it:
http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/wondernetdisplay.html?DOC=wondernet%5Cactivities%5Csound%5Csalt.html
If it is true that 65 decibels appreciatively correspond to a normal conversation or to laughter, then there are big chances that either the music was louder than that, either there is a manipulation behind the whole story.
Sharon Mc Loughlin completely denies have reached the highest sound levels and accuses her 3 children to be responsible of most of the noise.
Second, whether there is some exaggeration in the neighbor’s statements when she claims that Sharon’s music was louder than a plane, whether Sharon Mc Loughlin was much louder than 65 decibels, knowing that a plane taking off reaches around 130 decibels:
“We live near the airport and under the flight path but the planes aren’t nearly as noisy as her music.”
Maybe Sharon Mc Loughlin should have been more careful while playing her music.
There are several intelligent ways to avoid those problems while enjoying your music at the level you want to like to safe voice your appartment (of course, this solution might be costful), but why not simply use a stereo cask ?
Maybe there should have been more dialogue and mutual comprehension between Sharon and her neighbors, which could have avoided her eviction and also, one of Eminem fans’ worst nighmare: being deprived of his music.

Let the dynamic Detroit duo Proof and Dogmatic introduce you into their crazy world. Journey through the streets of Detroit: mushrooms, hoes, lesbians and alcohol are part of your dangerous virtual trip to the 313.
Promatic is the example of a successful collaboration between two gifted emcees. Dogmatic, who is still underground, gives a particular dimension to the album.
‘ Take No Shorts ‘ shows the offensiveness of a crew of rappers who won’t compromise their style for anybody.
The song ‘ Ecstasy ‘ is an ode to the well known illegal substance. Dogmatic and Proof describe their addictiveness in funny terms and bring Bizarre’s talent into the scene.
The Promatic album will give you an authentic taste of 313 underground real hip hop. The hilarious and rebellious ‘ What I Do ‘ will make you enjoy Proof’s world.
Proof and Dogmatic’s work is definitely something different:
‘ Even though the album is hard and it’s got some definite street content, we didn’t want to just come out like that. We just wanted to show the people something different first. ‘ (Dogmatic)
Promatic’s main goal is also to make people discover more about Detroit:
“The world has never really got a taste of what Detroit is really about. They looked at the East Coast and then the West and then the South, but we’re in the middle. We got influences from all of that shit When we do our music, that’s just what it comes up as. There’s so many different aspects of music that we listen to in Detroit.”
As Dogmatic also points it out, Promatic is representative of Detroit City in its whole craziness and battling world:
“Everybody wants to know what Detroit really sounds like. Promatic, this is it. It’s niggas spitting, all the craziness. This is what Detroit is. It’s what conformed out of all that.”
Promatic is also a clever collaboration of the Detroit underground scene. The song ‘ Life ‘ features rap phenomenon King Gordy. ‘ Take No Shorts ‘ will allow you to discover less known talents such as Bakarac and Jus Bounce.
Promatic is musically rich of different styles. ‘ Feels Good ‘ distinguishes itself from the other songs and has even a little bit of the ‘ Barry White style ‘.
A dope album for mushroom graduates: grab the songs one by one and check it out.

An original interpretation of ‘ ’97 Bonnie And Clyde ‘
In 2001, a female artist, Tori Amos decides to work on Eminem’s well known track ‘ ’97 Bonnie And Clyde ‘. Kim has been inspirational to her. Not Kim Mathers, but the victim of the fictional murder by Slim Shady’
I have listened to her track. Tori Amos hasn’t changed any word from Eminem’s lyrics. She has sung the song with a female voice, leaving a scary atmosphere behind her. Interpreted this way, the song becomes very emotional from the victim’s side:
“When you talk about killing your wife, you don’t get to control whom she becomes friends with after she’s dead.” ‘ Tori Amos
It is fascinating how Tori Amos makes a fictional story look real. Maybe because she obviously ignores the reality of the context of the song:
– a father (Eminem) was obviously being manipulated by his baby’s mom (Kim) who wouldn’t let him see his daughter, as Mike Mazur, Eminem’s former boss confirms it:
‘ He would come in to work and worry and say, ‘The bitch took my daughter and won’t let me see her. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know what I’m going to do. ‘
Before despising Eminem, whose song is nothing else but artistic expression, the public should be aware of Kim’s manipulative side towards Marshall:
‘ Whenever we fight she takes Hailie away and uses her as a weapon against me. ‘ (Eminem)
To record ‘ ’97 Bonnie And Clyde ‘, Marshall had to lie to Kim:
” I lied to Kim and told her I was taking her to Chuck E. Cheese that day. But I took her to the studio. When she found out I used our daughter to write a song about killer her, she fucking blew. We had just got back together for a couple of weeks. Then I played her the song, and she bugged the fuck out.”P
People shouldn’t ignore Marshall’s reconciliation attempt. The existence of ‘ ’97 Bonnie And Clyde ‘ expresses Eminem’s pain about Kim’s behavior. The main reason why this song was created was his reconciliation attempt. It worked: in a couple of weeks Marshall and Kim were back together.
Tori Amos’ work is a beautiful peace of work. I am not convinced she understood Eminem’s motivations, when you look at the way she describes the original song:
‘ I’ve always found it fascinating how men say things and how women hear them. Words can wound and words can heal, and both are included on the album. When she first heard “97’ Bonnie & Clyde, the scariest thing was … the realization that people are getting into the music and grooving along to a song about a man who is butchering his wife.” (Tori Amos)
Tori Amos also missed that important point: usually people who are getting into Eminem’s music have a sense of humor. They are perfectly conscious of the fictional character of a song like ‘ ’97 Bonnie And Clyde ‘. Knowing the context of the song, you could barely take Slim Shady seriously when he ‘ murders ‘ Kim, who -by the way- is still alive since her double fictional ‘ murder ‘.

Although Mc Big Proof is Eminem’s best friend, he really needed to take some distance with Shady Records and release his own work with different record labels. Thats’ why Promatic is a Koch Records production from the Contra Music Label and “I Miss the Hip Hop Shop” was released at Iron First Records.
The Proof-Dogmatic song and video is an amusing comedy that won’t leave you indifferent.
As well as while watching or listening to Eminem, the video will require from you a solid sense of humor. Some parents might be shocked by Proof and Dogmatic’s numerous references to drugs, and particularly while Proof is sniffing some glue. Before getting mad at Proof and Dogmatic who -by the way- have manage to pervert a whole class and make drug addicts of them, take the video for what it is: a hilarious comedy.
The two friends who seem to be to old to be high school pupils show up in the middle of a classroom. The song is rebellious against parents and that’s exactly what makes it so funny. Listen to Kevin (Dogmatic):
‘ Oh, that’s just my dad, when I talk shit he gets mad (arrgh)
I took his .44 mag, I put that mag in my bag
Took it to school, so I can blast all you faggots (arcade shot)
I think my teacher’s on rag, cause when I’m in class
All that bitch do is just nag
Kevin do that, Kevin do this
I do what I wanna do, slut suck my dick!
I can school skip
I can put weed to my lips
I can pop E and take trips
I can flip scripts
Smack all the girls on they hips
Dress like a blood and yell, CRIP!
Steal daddy’s Remy and take sips
Drink on the back of the porch and break shit
Break all the windows in dad’s car and dip
Fuck stealing keys, ignitions get ripped ‘ ‘
While Kevin talks against his father, Deshaun will bag on his mom:
“What am I grounded for?
Tell me one good reason
Moms is a dirty whore
Twice she been caught cheatin’
Why should I go to school?
You never went to school
Beating me with a broom
Just coz I bent the rules
I hate mom and dad, making me so sad
(Tshawn, clean up your room now!) No fag
No batch, so sad thinkin I’ll mind you
Wanna kill you and hide you
Where nobody can find you
Time to curse you, for giving me curfew
Every time that you beat me
‘Till my body purple
No, I won’t listen mom
Why don’t you shut your mouth?
School I’ve been missing out
Kids trying to punk me out
What I learn manners for?
Maybe you raised me wrong
All kids that graze me wrong
Get crazy play this song
Then can I have some friends
Make me come in to play
Dad always touch my skin
Now I’ma run away ‘
The dialogue between Dogmatic and Proof is a never ending circle: none of them will listen to each other’
If you haven’t bought the Promatic album yet, you will be able to watch the video here:
http://www.promaticworld.com/plot/video.shtml
Proof and Dogmatic clearly show their likes and dislikes. You guessed it: both are fond of weed and mushrooms. And if you don’t like it, both emcees will tell you to fuckoff.
Parents, relax a little bit if your kid is fond of the Promatic video: this won’t make a bad substance user of your kid. My 9 years old son is crazy over the ‘ What I Do ‘ video. He even understood that the use of glue was to make Proof ‘ get high ‘. He also understood that this example is, of course, not to follow. Trust your kids. They are cleverer than you think.
The ‘ What I Do ‘ video is incredibly good and original work based on an excellent duo collaboration. Dogmatic and his fellow Proof have introduced you in a true Detroit underground sound. Enjoy your stay while watching their great video.

Ready for a ride with the illest emcees of Detroit?
The song ‘ Nobody’s Iller Than Me ‘ featuring Detroit underground emcee Fuzz will allow you to step into the emcees illlest world. Bizarre Kid begins the song with obvious references -you guessed it right- to the 313. People who know the D12 group well know about their ill and offensive rhymes that will knock out more than one opponent. They will make their rival rappers look lyrically weak and sugarcoated, that’s why we can take Swifty’s warning seriously:
‘ I make rappers wanna turn into singers”
Battling the D12 crew means battling a ‘ crew genius ‘, no doubt they will leave you wounded:
‘ Bring this competition and face this meanin’
Got your whole crew doing subpeonas
Hell nah you ain’t seen a crew genius
Murder whoever’s between us, pack your heaters
Keep it close, you can’t beat us
While your whole crew treat us like G’s, you best believe this
I done made quadrapalegics outta these non-rappin rejects
While the whole world ejects your tape, it ain’t no secret
That your shit sounds fake, you can’t stop it my mind state
Makes it too late for cops in tryin’ to stop the crime rate’ ‘
D12’s sense of realness have beaten up many other rappers’ fakeness. D12’s world represents the reality of the Detroit ghetto and it will single out anybody who fakes himself in his raps.
Follow Bizarre in his world of insanity ans enjoy his sick rhymes:
‘ Me and Eminem and Mike
Drivin’ down Van Dyke
Get my dick sucked late at night by a fuckin’ transvestite
Still on probation for stranglin’ my boy Jason
Should be takin’ my medication, it’s 9 to 10 I’m facin’
Last week this old man I had to blast
Cuz he tried to help me out when my car was out of gas
Ripped this old lady, hung her neck by a hook
Didn’t realize it was my grandmother ’til I checked her pocketbook
Fuckin’ with the white boys got me back on crack
Better explain where the hell your TVs and VCRs is at
I done lost 100 pounds, I ain’t been eatin’ like I should
This wounded dog in the street is sure lookin’ good! ‘
Slim Shady, the big substance user and abuser is here to piss you off, ready to take girls away from their boyfriends:
‘ 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’ ‘
Emcee Fuzz’ ill part won’t leave you indifferent either. If Fuzz used to be a member of D12, we may ask: what happened to him in the meantime?
Did he change his musical style in the meantime? I haven’t found a satisfactory answer for the moment.
‘ No One’s Iller than Me ‘ will make you appreciate four different and complementary talents: Bizarre, Swifty, Eminem and Fuzz combined are an ill and gifted team that fully represents the Detroit ghetto.Lyrics
[Bizarre]
Yeah…ha ha ha (BANG!), Yeah, Bizarre Kid comin’ at you
Eminem and Fuzz, and Mr. Swifty, ha ha
No one’s iller than me (wha?)
No one, no one is iller than me
No one is iller than me
It’s Mr. Swifty from the 313…

I make rappers wanna turn into singers
I keep hoes lickin’ they fingers
Bring this competition and face this meanin’

Keep it close, you can’t beat us
While your whole crew treat us like G’s, you best believe this

While the whole world ejects your tape, it ain’t no secret
That your shit sounds fake, you can’t stop it my mind state
Makes it too late for cops in tryin’ to stop the crime rate
I’m like Two-Face, I’m painful to rappers then you can tell
From these shells, how I gotta bend ’em like route canals
I erase all trails, somethin’ farther from gettin’ bail
Makes you wanna kill an emcee yourself, you might as well
Be within a 25 to life sentence, on linkin’ trials
Horrified, and keep on frontin’, repentin’ and lose they bowels
Everything is foul when Swift’s around, vacate now
Niggas dumb enough to try to front and escape, how?
I’m gonna take this ‘gnac and drink it straight wild
Niggas steady fallin’ in my face like milk crates, BLAAAOW!
It’s Swifty from the 313
Like I said no one is iller than me, unnhh!

Ask the feds from past the edge
Rockin’ the most classic threads
Flashin’ bread, roll down the window
Bitch you got some fantastic legs, you can get ’til that ass get red
You can get ’til that ass get red
Bizarre you get him and him, Swift you get him and him
I’ll get him and him, leave the other two for my nigga Eminem
Never writer’s block, I block writers
My block’s tighter, ante up and get your top fighters
Got fired for jumpin’ the counter with a mop stick
Some bitch ran up screamin’ GET THE COPS QUICK!
And got drop kicked, now she screamin’ “Stop it…”
Got clips to stop shit, rock shit and grab this hot shit
Wherever you shop bitch, Fuzz Scooter ’97 crop pick
Sick a-ya’ll niggaz lookin’ at me like I got tits

You have now witnessed 4 ill emcees!
From the home of potholes and trash
We’ll lyrically blast…

D12’s ‘ Art Of War ‘ from the D12 underground EP will introduce you into the atmosphere of rap battles. The D12 soldiers will teach you the ‘ art of war ‘ and show you how to handle words.
The D12 crew is determined to show you some original work and much more different from what you may usually hear in the world of rap.
Proof has something different to offer to hip hop lovers:
‘ Tired of niggas rapping the same
Talking the same, ya, hah
Living in the same place
What style is Proof gonna do this time? ‘Ready to spit his full venom, Mc BigProof will rip his enemies off:
‘ By the age of aquarius
My mind state was gugarious
Various opponents whose stature was hilarious
Like you’ ‘
Proof doesn’t fight all alone. His fellows are ready to murder you lyrically. He is followed by Bizarre and Kuniva who will scare you, because they will act dangerously. Kuniva’s rhymes will leave you speechless:
‘ No matter what the problem
Revolvers can solve ’em
Keep a nigga breathless
The tech whips regardless
Heartless
Walking you punks right to the edge of darkness’ ‘
Kon Artis is the next menace you should take into account:
‘ Highly dangerous
Spraining my wrist
Lickin’ off this black tech
With my eyes flossed bitch
Look up the Art of War
In the ghetto dictionary’ ‘‘
The Art Of War ‘ also gives you the opportunity to fully appreciate Bugz’ talent. He’s ready to murder his opponents. Of course, lyrically:
‘ Bugz’ll murder you
In less than a word or two
Bring the art of war to your door’ ‘Bugz concludes the well written D12 song.
There is no Slim Shady featured in the song. Only Proof’s allusion reminds us of the now full part D12 member:
‘ Next to Slim
I’m Shady as a Tetris win’ ‘
‘ The Art Of War ‘ enlightens D12’s lyrical offensiveness. It is a real pleasure for the ears of gangsta rap lovers.Lyrics
[Proof]
Tired of niggas rapping the same
Talking the same, ya, hah
Living in the same place
What style is Proof gonna do this time?
Ya really wanna know, huh?
What is he gonna do?
You got niggas who said,
“I’m out, I’m out the door this year”
Fuck, all them niggas
Fuck *Einstein*
Nigga said me and Bizarre hate each other

Talking ’bout he battled me and beat me
Fuck you
And when I see you on the streets
I’m in your grill
Ya know what I’m saying?
Listen
By the age of aquarius
My mind state was gugarious
Various opponents whose stature was hilarious
Like you
Throwing fairy dust
Then frowning hard on whack chorus
Proof was on the scene before Nat Morris
Cold as a black forest in these starving streets
A garbage heap that was brought
Stars could eat
The nerve of haters
Diss us perging gators
So I spit venom at you through your serve in vegas
The primitive fool again
None can match that
Blast at your rib cage
Making your spine hatch back
You lack fat tactics
And thoughts of Dexatrim
Whippin’ my dick out on nuns
If they say sex is sin
Next to Slim
I’m Shady as a Tetris win
Dirty Dozen solo are respected men
Get known for craft
Irritate me like infected skin
The future ain’t lookin’ the same
Like a neglected twin
Some test the scary
That’s unnecessary
To kill your crew, family, your friends
Your tech can carry
Knock your paws off sync
Left you flat like a soft drink
Got more styles than Diana Ross swing
Zone like Rick James when he smoke crack
You and Charli Baltimore
Got something in common
Y’all both whack
Proof the king P-I-N
If I ain’t the best this year
The motherfucker be my twin
[Bizarre]
Who’s the bitch ass nigga
That’s mentioning my name?
No one to blame
I just cock back your name
None of y’all bitch ass niggas wanna test
Cuz five minutes or less
I’ll be at your assets
You’re just a bitch
And I wanna test you
And the niggas you was with
They already left you
So duck down cuz Bizarre Kid’s comin’ here
Shootin’ at you and your peers
And cousins you ain’t seen in years
Hope you believe in God
Cuz nigga you better pray
Pull your kids from the window
And duck from this AK
And already done called the Proof and Denaun
And even if I want to
I can’t change my nigga’s lines
Cuz you on the shit list
These bullets are relentless
And ain’t no way in hell that you avoidin’ this
Ain’t no apologies
Yo I see your number on my caller ID
Bitch, stop callin’ me
Fuck the truce
Nigga I pull the deuce deuce
And my niggas go wild
Like a bunch of rats that got loose
I’m comin’ for you nigga
So hide behind your door
Cuz all my niggas believe in the Art Of War
Chorus (x4)
What you startin’ for?
Is you on for war?
Trife assassins
Bringing you the art of war
[Kuniva]
Straight wylin’
Burying bodies right on top of each other
So when somebody ask
I just say you under the weather (Killer Eel)
No matter what the problem
Revolvers can solve ’em
Keep a nigga breathless
The tech whips regardless
Heartless
Walking you punks right to the edge of darkness
We’re way beyond that
When I pull me out a cartridge
I bank shots
Wettin’ up your white tank top
While my nigga Bugz is stickin’ up
Your nearest gang spot
Just another scarred liar retired
We make niggas pass out like fliers
Flossin’ my teeth with barbed wire
Leavin’ a bloody mess
Then harass kids
And buy ’em a candy bar
So they can tell me where you live
[Kon Artist]
Highly dangerous
Spraining my wrist
Lickin’ off this black tech
With my eyes flossed bitch
Look up the Art of War
In the ghetto dictionary
And see Bizarre holding your kids
Hostage for their Crunch Berries
My pump stay hot
Coat stomachs like Malox
Run away spots
Setting it off with the guns that Dre got
Ghetto s’ance
But ass backwards
Fuck bringing you back to life
Nigga we putting you in your caskets
Running off with the mop like you got somethin’
But in my mind I’m thinking
Blast soon as I spot somethin’
And when you fall
I know damn well I done shot somethin’
And I’m cleaning your brains
Off my windshield for frontin’
D-12 is
Your local weed sellers
Throwing pipe bombs in your church
To kill your elders
The men on bitches like tracks
You notice these
Banging clits and ovaries
Till they drop the sheets
Niggas’ll die from these
Blows we inflict
You supposed to be in some shit
Cuz you the underdog bitch
Chorus (x2)
[Bugz]
Bugz’ll murder you
In less than a word or two
Bring the art of war to your door
Call me Sonny Zoo
Nigga don’t be mad cuz your broad is a trick
Always dialing 976-need-a-dick (bitch)
Niggas like you
I’m known to smack, stab, and spit on
Kick at, hit on, you hear me bitch? It’s still on
Calling through my crib
Like your bout it with your shouts
Ain’t you the same nigga
Who was crying on his couch
Apologize on site boy
If you like your life boy
(Yo Bugz, leave that nigga alone
You know he just a white boy)
Fuck that
I smack him off the wheels
And take his bleel
Or bought a royal mope
And destroy him with my steal
You pussy ass
How you figure it will linger
Take your bitch on Jenny Jones
Then beat your ass on Jerry Springer
Don’t fuck with it
Or get your head split and mouth bruised
That’s a promise
Fuck *Hal Shoes*
Chorus ’till fade

In ‘ Without Me ‘, Eminem claims:
‘ So the FCC wont let me be or let me be me ‘ ‘
It seems like Eminem is now too shocking for the average British viewer:
http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2004/07/2808.cfm
What a big joke!
Some BBC viewers have described Eminem as ‘ lewd ‘ and ‘ offensive ‘ at his recent performance on April the 9th.
I just wished people didn’t push hypocrisy that far. Anybody who has watched Eminem on TV or listened to him in his interviews knows that Marshall Mathers’ provocative side is part of his personality.
So if you don’t like the way he is and if you know that he might offend you through his attitude or his lyrics, why do you turn on your TV when he is supposed to show up?
Lewd? Haha’You must have given Eminem a good laugh!
Obscene language is part of hip hop culture.
His lyrics are filled with obscene language. Eminem’s songs are played since 1999 everywhere on the planet, and in 2004 some narrow minded British citizens decide that he is too ‘ lewd ‘ during his performance.
Oh right, he has been warning you all the time in ‘ Without Me ‘:
‘ So this must mean I’m disgusting, but its just me I’m just obscene’ ‘
Eminem’s political ‘ incorrectness ‘ has also been reproached to him and according to a corporate spokesman, “The performer had been asked to tone his act down after rehearsal but ignored this request during the live broadcast” .
What else do you expect from a politically engaged rapper?
Do you want him to act like some sugarcoated Black Eyed Peas member?
Slim Shady has already given a response to his detractors in his song:
‘ I’m like a head trip to listen to, cause I’m only givin you
things you joke about with your friends inside your living room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it
in front of y’all and I don’t gotta be false or sugarcoated at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
and whether you like to admit it [*ERR*] I just shit it
better than ninety percent of you rappers out can’ ‘
One reason why I deeply admire Eminem is because he has the balls to say what he wants to express, whether you like it or not. He doesn’t care. He will say it anyway. He has offended you? He doesn’t give a fuck.
I wish people could fully accept Eminem the way he is. His fans particularly appreciate him for being himself.
We don’t want a sugarcoated and hypocritical Eminem. We like his offensiveness and we don’t want him to change just to please a few old fashioned persons.
My advice to those conservative, narrow minded and old fashioned people :
‘ If you don’t like Marshall Mathers, don’t waste your precious time watching him.
But let Eminem be Eminem, for Godness sake. ‘
