Man this guy is something else! Fantastic four have you listened to the raw beats and the kick lyrics of the song "8 Mile"???

 

Eminem - 8 Mile Road

(It's okay, it's okay. I'm gonna make it anyway.)

Sometimes I just feel like

Quittin I still might

Why do I put up this fight?

Why do I still write?

Sometimes it's hard enough steal from the real life

Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics

And show these people what my level of skill's like

But I'm still white

Sometimes I just hate life

Somethin ain't right

Hit the breaklights

In case of the stage fright

Draw on the blank light

(Uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, My insides crawl)

And I clam up (SMASH!)

I just slam shut

I just can't do it

My whole manhood's just been stripped

I've just been ripped

So I must been dipped

Or the bustin split

Man fu*k this yo

I'm goin the fu*k home

Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Rd.

 

(Chorus)

I'm a man

I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to stand up and travel new land

Time for me to just to take matters into my own hands

Once I'm over these tracks man

I'ma never look back

(8 Mile Rd.)

And I'm gone

I don't like where I'm goin

Sorry mama I've grown

I must travel alone

Ain't no followin no footsteps

I'm makin my own

Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd.

 

Walkin these traintracks

Tryin to regain back the spirit I have

'Fore I go back to the same (SMASH!)

To the same plant

And the same pants

Tryin to chase rap

Gotta move A.S.A.P.

Get a new plan

Mama's got a new man

Poor little baby sister

She don't understand

Sits in front of the TV, bury's her nose in the pad

And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand

While she colors her big brother, her mother, and dad

Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head

Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had

But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad

Sometimes I get upset

Cuz I ain't blew up yet

It's like I grew up, but I aint grownin two nuts yet

Don't gotta rap my step

Don't got enough pep

The pressure's too much man

I'm just tryin to do what's best

And I try

Sit alone and I cry

Yo I won't tell a lie

Not a moment goes by

That I don't pray to the sky

Please I'm beggin you God

Please don't let me be pigeon holdin on regular job

Yo I hope you can hear me hommie

Wherever you are

Yo I'm tellin you dog

I'm bailin this trailor tomorrow

Tell my mother I love her

Kiss baby sister goodbye

Say whenever you need me baby

I'm never too far

But yo, I gotta get out there

The only way I know

And I'ma do that for you

On the second that I blow

On everything I own

I'll make it on my own

Off to work I go

Back to this 8 Mile Rd.

 

(Chorus)

 

Ya gotta live it to feel it

If you didn't you wouldn't get it

We'll see what the big deal is

Why it wasn't, it still is

To be walkin this border line of Detroit city's limit

It's different, it's a certain significant certificate of authenticity

You'd never even see

But it's everything to me

It's my credibility

You've never seen, heard, smell, or met an MC

Who's incredible and on the same pedistool as me

But check

Still unsigned

Havin a rough time

Sit on the porch with all my friend's who kick dumb rhymes

Go to work

And servin MC's in the lunch line

But when it come's crunch time

Where do my punch lines go?

Who must I show?

To bust my flow?

Where must I go?

Who must I know?

Or am I just another crab in the bucket

Cuz I ain't havin no luck with this little rabbit so fu*k it

Maybe I need a new outlit

I'm startin to doubt

I'm feelin a little scepticle

Of who I hang out with

I look like a bum

Yo my clothes ain't about

At the Salvation Army

Tryin to salvage and outfit

And it's cold

Tryin to travel this road

Plus I feel like I'm only stuck in this battlin mode

My defenses are so up

And one thing I don't want

Is pity from no one

The city is no fun

There is no sun

And it's so dark

Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled apart

Being torn in my limbs

By each one of my friends

Enough to just make me wanna jump outta my skin

Sometimes I feel like a robot

Sometimes I just know not what I'm doin

I just blow

My head is a stove top

I just explode

The kettle gets so hot

Sometimes my mouth just overloads the acid I don't got

But I've learned

It's time for me to U-Turn

Yo it only takes one time for me to get burnt

Ain't no fallin

No next time

Imeet a new girl

I can no longer play stupid

Or be immature

I've got every ingredient

All I need is the courage

Like I already got to beat

All I need is the words

Got the urge

Suddenly its a search

Suddenly a new verse of energy has occured

Time to show these free world leaders

Three in the third

I am no longer scared now

I'm free as a bird

And I turn and cross over

The median curb

Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur on 8 mile rd.

 

(Chorus)

For all the eminem haters, he's not vanilla ice. Can't compare the two. Skill level is on two different worlds.

 

Just listen to a few of his songs and look into his lyrics a lil more. He's not some "wigger" hahahah. Eminem is eminem and blows everyone out of the water tongue.gif

I can hardly wait to see the Double M's new score that truly reflects his current lifestyle:

 

I wake up in bed

Two hotties on my head

What the

Doz hos sure can suck

Ma butler is too slow

My big screen got no show

My food is

Can't even take a nap!

 

Pool's too damn cold

Mansion's too damn old

Have 30 honey's on hold

Got more money than I can fold

 

So keep buying my songs fool

Betcha think that you are cool

I'm laughing to the bank

While I lay a hottie skank!

One of my recent job applicants suggested on his pre-hire questionnaire that Dr Seuss invented rap...

 

I just hope for the fans' sakes that people continue to irritate Marshall "Don't Call Me Jerry" Mathers, because he clearly has a ridiculous amount of talent, and the fastest way for him to become irrelevant would be to lose his anger. Great art comes from great emotion, and most artists who draw on a surplus of anger and frustration to fuel their creative drive find the results sorely lacking when the anger is no longer there. Usually the second or third album is the best mix of declining anger and increasing technical skill. After that, no amount of polish can replace the missing drive...

 

You can compare the career histories of bands like U2, Queensryche, Metallica, Tori Amos, and Guns N Roses. At some point the negative emotions give way because it's hard to stay angry when you're rolling in fat bank. I just selfishly hope that Eminem continues to find a supply of rage, because no one on the planet is at his level right now...

Although I think he has an immense amount of talent..I don't think Lose Yourself should be used as an example of his talent. The beat is created for the sole purpose of making very easy small time lines and one-liners. I'd say just about anyone can come up with a few decent lines with this beat, hell even CI did tongue.gif

Some of his other songs reflect his talent better. And I've said this before but I'll say it again..I'd love to see him and Shaheed go at it or Rakim..that would be very interesting..and would really allow for a lot of people to size him up.

This is not intended to insult anyones taste, but it's just an experience I've had...

 

When I used to work as a Bouncer, there were a lot of instances where Eminem's music would come on, and things got rowdy. I do believe that people are responsible for their actions not music(or movies), but certain media can add fuel to the fire. I don't have a specific explanation as to why people went nuts to his songs, and I'm not going to speculate, but it happened. And I don't want to hear any about his music being so "powerful" that it evokes that kind of extreme emotional response.

 

Granted the place I worked was tough, and the drugs flowed freely, but some of his lyrics are part of the bigger problem. I really don't want to preach like some after school special, but these things have to be considered. I admit that he has a talent, and he(or whoever works for him) know how to market his image well, but unfortunetly not everyone has the mental capacity to seperate marketing from real life. When I hear his songs, or see a comercial for 8 mile, I remember a 19 year old girl who was put in the hospital after being trampled during one of these "riots", and the fact that I broke a guys arm trying to get things under control. Again I'm not knocking anyone, and I realize that Eminem is not the sole cause of this. I'm not looking for an argument or debate, it's just an experience I had that I wanted to relay, and it's something to think about.

The same can really be said about any music genre except maybe R & B..country makes you want to kill yourself or get depressed, rock makes you wanna get wild, rap makes you wanna beat somebody up..etc etc..heard all the stereotypes..it's just music.

Hey, rickdogg, is the 8 mile soundtrack any good? I've got the first 3 albums, and I like 'Lose Yourself', but I'm worried the soundtrack will be that one song, and a bunch of filler.

50 cent's track is pretty good, I don't like Jay-Z but his is alright..I think Freeway might carry the track a bit though. The other Eminem songs are decent, not great but decent..the rest of the stuff is mediocure.
