Eminem/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** To be fair, she was making assumptions about something she knew nothing about and it wasn't her place to put his business out there.

** He lampshades this in the lyrics for "The Real Slim Shady":

Yeah, but he's so cute though..." }}

* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: [[Michael Jackson]] did not take well towards Eminem making fun of him in his ''Just Lose It'' music video. The backlash even resulted in B.E.T. pulling the video from airwaves.

** Not to mention ''Kim'', an already disturbing song about Eminem murdering his then wife Kim, is made a bit more disturbing when in ''Love The Way You Lie'' he reveals they were both mutually abusive towards each other.

** Most of his songs about partying and drugs, especially "Drug Ballad", become this in light of his overdose.

* [[He Really Can Act (Sugar Wiki)|He Really Can Act]]: In ''[[8 Mile|Eight Mile]]''.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Memorably in the Dr. Dre song "What's the Difference", "I love you dawg." Though he did mean it in a father-son sort of way. Him and [[Fifty Cent]] though...

** Retroactively taken to new levels with Proof in several songs on ''Recovery'', most notably "You're Never Over". Apparently they had pet names for each other...

** "Just Lose It" is full of [[Accidental Public Confession|Accidental Public Confessions]].

Yeah, [[Freudian Slip|boy]]; shake that ass<br />

[[That Came Out Wrong|Oops, I mean girl]]<br />

Girl, girl, girl... }}

** Not to mention "Lighters":

''([[Todd in the Shadows|"And in conclusion... penis, penis, penis."]])'' }}

* [[Hype Aversion]]: More cynical listeners believe Eminem's success is 30% talent and 70% because he's white, and that critics treat him as if he single-handedly invented hip-hop.

** "'97 Bonnie And Clyde" (AKA ''[[Refrain From Assuming|Just the Two of Us]]''). It's one of his most haunting songs, sung from the point of view of a father to his daughter after murdering his wife for infidelity. He has his little daughter help him unload the dead wife from the trunk of his car and dump her corpse in a lake. Then [[Tori Amos]] released a cover on her album ''Strange Little Girls'', sung from the murdered wife's point of view, that is somehow even ''worse''.

** "Kim", the prequel to "'97 Bonnie & Clyde". The song isn't so much rapped as screamed between Eminem and his impression of Kim. It starts out innocently enough with Em watching Hailie sleep, but quickly goes south as he shoves Kim into a car and reveals he's murdered her new boyfriend and their 4-year-old son (lyrics describing this were actually [[Bowdlerise|left off the ''explicit'' version of the album]], even though a later reference to the murder was left in; a truly explicit version called "Bitch So Wrong", which keeps the words intact, has been leaked and is still floating around online). It ends with him slitting her throat in the woods:

BLEEEEEEEEEEED! }}

** "Stan" is fairly disturbing. It's about an [[Ax Crazy]] fan who eventually commits a murder-suicide because Shady won't answer any of his fan letters in a timely manner. Especially as the tape is starting to end and you can hear [[Punk in the Trunk|Stan's girlfriend screaming from the trunk]] before the car falls into the water...
