I'm sure most people if not everyone interested in the world of music has come accross the gunfire of the heated battle between Mariah and Eminem. My question is ... what do you guys think? I'm only putting 2 options here so you have to take a side if you have an opinion. Let's hear it.
According to the rumors; Eminem and Mariah were intimate. She denies this. She meets another actor/singer Nick Cannon and marries him. Eminem's first song was "Bagpipes from Baghdad". I can't really put the lyrics here but it can be looked up or listened to.
Key sentences from his song however include:
"Locked in Mariah's wine cellar, all I had for lunch was bread, wine, more bread, wine and Cap'n Crunch"
"Mariah, whatever happened to us? Why did we have to break up?..."
"... Nick Cannon better back the f___ up. I'm not playin', I want her back you punk."
"And yeah baby, I want another crack at ya, you can beat me with any spatula that you want."
Maria responded with a top radio hit "Obsessed".
Her song doesn't involve a 10th of the crude nature of Eminem's material:
"All up in the blos sayin' we met at the bar, when I don't even know who you are, Sayin we up in your house, sayin I'm up in your car."
"But you in LA, and I'm out at Jermaine's I'm up in the A, you so, so lame and no one here even mentions your name. It must be the weed, it muste be the E "Cuz you be poppin" hood, you get it poppin."
"Why you so obsessed with me? Boy, I wanna know, Lyin's that you're Sexin me when everybody knows. It's clear that you're upset with me, Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress. Last man on the earth still couldn't get this."
"You're delusional, you're delusional, boy you're loosin your mind. It's confusin' you, you're confused you know. Why you wastin your time? Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex, See'in right through you like you're bathin' in Windex."
(And my personal favorite):
"Tellin' the world how much you miss me, but we never were, so why you trippin' You a mom and pop, I'm a corporation. I'm the press conference, you're a conversation!
So Eminem responded with: "The Warning".
(It's tough finding lyrics from Eminem that can be put on a public forum but feel free to look up the whole song yourselves).
"Only reason I dissed you in the first place was beacuse you denied seeing me. Now I'm pissed off."
"Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee? Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go balls out. B___ shut the F___ up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild-n-out before Nick. When you was on my D___ and give you somethin to smile about."
"Enough dirt on you to murder you, this is what the F___ I do. Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures? However you prefer to do and that goes for Nick too fa___ you think I'm scared of you?"
... - Anyway, we all get where this is going. A friend of mine has told me that nobody "Disses" Eminem and maintains a carreer in the music industry. He referenced "Fat Joe, Ja Rule" etc... I personally happen to think that while Eminem may be a good performer and entertainer to a certain audience, Mariah is a legend in the world of music and will not suffer from any confrontation for market-share.
So I bring this here to you guys. What do you think? Who would you support?
