Eminem's new single..

[Guest Flyboy]

I just downloaded it... and wow.  

 

If any indiciation, The Eminem Show will be great.

 

Outlandish lyrics, Marshall flowing like only he can, and a good beat.  

 

And, no.. it's not just because I'm a huge Eminem fan.  

 

Emimen's Without Me Lyrics

 

Post your thoughts/opinion if you've heard the songs or read the lyrics..

[Guest]

I saw it on Making the Video, and I must say, as a fan of rock music, this song made me bounce along to the music...as retarded as that sounds.

[Guest starvenger]

I was somewhat annoyed when I first heard it, but I think it's growing on me...

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

"the best thing since wrestking"... great lyric eminem. lol. i saw the making the video and the vid is hilarious and the song rules. this is coming from a rock fan as well.

[Guest]

Hmm.... well. I've heard "Without Me" a few times and downloaded it. Dope beat, but its the typical Em thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Eminem fan, but the subject is almost like "The Real Slim Shady." He's still insulting people and talking about the same old crap. I'll get The Eminem Show, but I hope it isn't like the first two that came before.

I think it's funny that he's singing about being controversial, yet the song isn't controversial at all (Unless you count making fun of Elvis controversial).  As for whether or not I like it, I've seen the video twice, and the first time it felt like it was too much to digest, but today, I saw it again before work, and I had the tune in my head all week, so I think I'll like it (for now, atleast, until MuchMusic plays the hell out of it).

[Guest Ripper]

It sounds about right for a radio friendly single.  But as always, I doubt this is any indication of what the album will be like.

[Guest converge241]

I thought it was allright... i have a feeling he peaked on D12..but maybe ill be proved wrong

[Guest]

I like it, the video's funny too.

 

What are some other good songs that are gonna be on The Eminem Show?

I have all the good songs off his first two albums and now Without Me, but I want some more.

[Guest treble charged]

I've heard somewhere that no one is getting an advanced copy of the CD, so you're going to have to wait until it comes out, and I've also heard that it's going to have anti-piracy technology, so burning it will be next to impossible.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

That type of stuff pisses me off. I tried searching for it on Kazaa and found a bunch of songs that were just hooks looped over and over. I want to hear some of what he expects people to buy. I'm starting not to like Eminem. He seems like he would be an annoying guy and I understand why he didn't have many friends when he was younger. During the Making Of show, he was just trying to be funny, and to me he was more annoying than funny. I like his music, but I'm starting not to like Eminem.

Damnit, that always happens when new C.D's come out. Like with Nelly and Ali's  new C.Ds on KaZaA, You type in the title and it will have a list of names but most if not all are hooks or different songs. Does anybody know why people do that?

[Guest KOR420]

No advanced copies anywhere,all loops and choruses,ill buy it when it comes out,it'll be the first ive bought since sept 11(Jay-z) and as far as the song goes,i like it,but all his radio singles sound the same,somewhat annoying beat with tight lyrics,it will no doubt be a good album as far as the rest of it goes,from what ive heard it sounds great,how sweet is the beat at the beginning with obie trice saying "Real name no gimmicks"  ????

Stole this from Eminem2000.com:

 

Eminem Show Preview  

 

The "boogeyman of rap" is busting his gun, pistol-whipping one of his cheating mate's lovers, contemplating other grisly forms of violence and taking a leak on the White House lawn — and that's just by the midpoint of The Eminem Show. Yes, ladies and gents, "Shady's back," as he proclaims in his first single, "Without Me," and Eminem still has a lot to vent.

As soon as the curtain opens on Em's third solo album, it's clear all of the rapper's frustrations that have been building up over the last two years since The Marshall Mathers LP are going to explode out of the speakers.

 

"White America," the first song on the album, is a satirical look at why he's seen as the Big Bad Wolf with a mic. "Hip-hop is never a problem in Harlem, only in Boston," he says. Em concedes that if he were African American, maybe people wouldn't be as fascinated with him and that his record sales would probably be cut in half.

 

But the Eminem phenomenon is deeper than black and white. Besides being one of the best to step into the vocal booth and have his thoughts resonate, many kids give him love because they see a reflection of themselves when they look at Slim Shady. "I go to 'TRL,' look how many hugs I get," he taunts his detractors. What's most scary to parents, however, according to the 28-year-old, is that they too see the similarities between the Detroit rapper and their own children.

 

"I could be one of your kids," he tells them. "... Little Erick looks just like me/ Erica loves my sh--," he continues before closing with remarks about urinating on the White House's grass.

 

"Business" commences with a short skit featuring Em and special guest Dr. Dre speaking like Batman and Robin, promising to thwart the villainous wack rappers and save the day. "Marshaaalll," a woman repeatedly sings, reminiscent of a TV show intro. Meanwhile, Em switches his voice to a tone not dissimilar from that of a circus ringmaster, readying the listener for his combustible lyrics as the g-funk-tinged basslines come in.

 

"Let's get down to business/ I don't have no time to waste/ What is this?" he says on the chorus. "Must be a circus in town/ We shuttin' this sh-- down on these clowns/ Can I get a witness." Em goes on to say he and Dre are the most feared duo since he and Elton John played Russian roulette with their careers two years ago at the Grammy Awards.

 

Gunplay is also a focal point of a skit called "The Kiss." The rapper doesn't mention names, but the events in the interlude are similar to the events police say happened outside the Hot Rock Sports Bar and Music Cafe in Warren, Michigan, in June 2000 (see "Eminem To Face Weapons, Assault Charges"). Em is now serving probation for carrying an unloaded concealed weapon, stemming from the incident outside the bar where he allegedly beat John Guerra over the head with a pistol for kissing his wife at the time, Kimberly Mathers. The two parties have since settled their differences in court, and Eminem recently agreed to pay Guerra upwards of $100,000 (see "Eminem To Pay $100,000 To Man Who Kissed His Wife").

 

In "The Kiss," Em is in a car with a friend and he's following his wife. He pulls out a gun and doesn't listen to his friend's warning to put it away. Em tells him there are no bullets in the firearm, and when he sees his girlfriend across the street kissing a man, all chaos breaks out.

 

The Eminem Show has several other outrageous moments, from Eminem threatening to put anthrax on a woman's Tampax and slapping her with it on the Down South bounce song "Superman," to Bizarre of D12 claiming that his peers' songs have influenced him to commit crimes on the piano-driven "Music Stops." The over-the-top fiction of "Drips" echoes the track "Kim" from The Marshall Mathers LP. Em's pregnant girlfriend has been cheating on him with newcomer Obie Trice and all three have contracted an STD and both rappers recount their dealings with the woman.

 

Many of the tracks on The Eminem Show were primarily self-produced, resulting in an LP that sounds more rock than g-funk. And unlike The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show finds its star dealing with more reality-based, beleaguering topics, though the three main ladies in his life — his mother, his ex-wife and his daughter, Hailie — are once again the centerpieces.

 

He may not be in love with prosecutors who want to convict him, as told on "Dream On," which samples the classic Aerosmith cut of the same title, or feel like he gets the props he deserves as he spouts on the Nate Dogg-featured "'Till I Collapse." The fact that he feels people will never see him as just Marshall Mathers again doesn't exactly bring a smile to his face either. But like all leading men, he finds that inner strength to come out on top, even if his mother and ex have permanently scarred him. His daughter makes everything worth it.

 

"When I see my baby I'm not crazy anymore," he croons on "Hailie's Song." Throughout the track, the rapper literally sings the praises of his child. He sometimes feels the world is over and his insecurities could eat him alive, but watching his daughter fills him with pride.

When is his album coming out? it might get held back because people (including me) are trying get it bootleg. lol

[Guest KOR420]

JUNE 4TH is the day i really cant find any way to bootleg this,its pissing me off,oh well i guess ill have to give 15 bucks to corporate america again

The looped hooks are called chorus riffs, I think. They're planted by the companies to discourage CD burning, as constantly downloading chorus riff shite by accident will frustrate you into giving up.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

The hell it will.

How do you know that?

 

how sweet is the beat at the beginning with obie trice saying "Real name no gimmicks"  ?

That's the rapper from the D12 that's in jail now I think?

[Guest dreamer420]

i've listened to the cd twice now.  once on the weekend and it was incredible.  there are some very harsh songs (white america!), very funny songs, and some meaningful songs mixed in as well.  i'm not sure if it is as good at his last album but it is one that is a keeper.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

I just hope he's found something else to rap about by the time he makes his next album.
