On A Commercially Successful Level... I believe Em peaked musically around The Eminem Show/8 Mile Soundtrack and began falling off from the point on, he has never even been close lyrically as he was at that point as he is today. I know some say the song is corny and absolutely about nothing which is cool but The Word Play, Flow, Punchlines and most of all… The displaced of rhyme schemes/flow is one of the best ever; they way he approached the beat anyone that has every even tried to write a rap can only be astonished

've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jump start my heart quicker
Then a shot when I get shocked at the hospital
By the doctor when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey"
You waited this long to stop debating
Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know you got a job Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem is complicated
So the F-C-C won't let me be
Or let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on M-T-V
But it feels so empty without me
So come on and dip, ? on your lips
? that, ? on your lips and some on your ?
And get ready 'cause this ? is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, "? you, Debbie!"

[Chorus]
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
'Cause it feels so empty without me
I said, this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
'Cause it feels so empty without me

Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "? "
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me
Well I'm back, fix your bent antennae
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter
Into the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
"Testing attention please"
Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me
Here's my ten cents, my two cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?


[Chorus]

A-tiskit a-taskit,
I go ass for tat with anybody who's talking this ? and that ?
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit ?
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie
You thirty six year old bald headed ? , ?
You don't know me, you're too old
Let it go its over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, just give me the signal
I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes this ? just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting
But it's just me I'm just obscene

Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy
"Hey" there's a concept that works
Twenty million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It will be so empty without me

[Chorus]
