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]
've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to

song was trash, don't care how nice he was rhyming.

Well no Subject Matter/Content which is the most important factor in a Song
The Beat was classic though -
Song was wack, LMAO @ that beat being classic
-
The Song it self didn't fit The Eminem Show it was the only Comedy Song on the Album
Where as every other Song was real Deep and Introspective -
The lyrics weren't heartfelt
-
The Beat on the Song actually is amazing
Of course it didn't have Subject Matter/Content and Lyrics with Substance but if you take it for what it is a Comedy Song with a really Catchy Hook and a really ill Beat then it is a great Song -
But sometimes this ? just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
gee^^^^^^^lol -
The lyrics weren't heartfelt
lol.....yo is shadyteam seriously a real poster or somebodies alias on here? -
song sucks. typical eminem whiny bs.

Lol at shady disliking the song but still finding a way to claim something about it was classic
-
She is real
lol....when everybody thinks you're a troll or an alias and you arent you're probably just really dumb -
eminem killed that ?
definitely better than my name is and real slim shady
That is cos of the Beat mainly -
Honestly, this is probably the most annoying rap-song released as a single of all time
Barbie Girl by Aqua is the most annoying song of all time but, yeah Em wins the rap-award for that ? -

I dislike the Content in the Song and the Subject Matter i don't know anyone who likes the Subject Matter and Lyrics in that Song
However the Beat was great and i loved the Hook -

To be fair Eminem has had an RnB Singesr featuring on his very first Album on the Song If I Had and the RnB Singer featuring on ? On Everybody
Then there also the RnB Singer on Stan
Then there was the RnB Singer featuring on Superman -

Imagine how greater the Song would have been if it had the complete package of Subject Matter/Content that is all that was missing -
And i know Interscope are feeling stupid as ?
Cos Em said after My Name Is Interscope wouldn't release his Albums unless he made another Comedy/Cartoonish lead Single like that so that's why from then on he had to make those type of Comedy Songs like The Real Slim Shady, With Out Me etc for success in the Chart and extra sales
But Lose Yourself and Not Afraid reached number 1 on the Chart and those Comedy Singles never did
