Been hit 6 times in 3 different locations on 4 separate occasions" Em hasn't literally been hit by lightening, and if we took it that way they'd be the only lines in the whole song that were random and unfocused. He's saying
"Hit"6 times = albums, 3 locations = the U.S., Europe, and the U.K, 4 occasions = 4 Grammy's for Best Rap Album.

Same here, what is the transforming from Mercedes, mogwai, & gremlin, a metaphor for? Marshall, Eminem, and Shady?
and what the motor so big you can fit a midget in it?


I know "far-fetched" when I see it...

6 albums? was he counting Recovery before it was released?
Why skip Australia and Asia? his albums were hits their too.
4 Grammies? he has a total of 11 grammies, why ignore the other ones?
If he was counting Recovery before it was released, he might as well count its Rap Album Grammy.

Justin Bieber's song??? noo it's Eminem's "My Dad's Gone Crazy". in that song he says
eenee, meenee, meini, mo, catch a homo by his toe

:facepalm That site is a joke!


Dude no Recovery is his 7th studio album He's has 6 albums that have gone platinum multiple times Your probably skipping Curtain Call. Check the RIAA website..

Sometimes if they don't know the answer they will use something funny that someone has submitted
or make up something funny until someone does submit the correct meaning. Thank You for reminding me of that. That's why I'm asking about them... I think that came from someone at Rap Basement, I remember someone there making that joke...
Can I submit it & get the points, or were you going to?

The highest honor is "Best Rap Album",cuz it says ones album is the overall the best of all rap albums the rest of the grammies he shares w/ others who worked on it. he has 4 that have been award the best of the best!
Yeah it’s the best thing I could do right now for you Doodie is to rap
SO Imma fuck til I die, yeah Imma do it to death
And instead of mourning your death, I’d rather celebrate your life

Eminem has 7 Studio Albums not counting Curtain Call but counting Infinite. Curtain Call is a Compilation Album. Anyway, I'll let that slide. What about the locations? why ignore Asia and Australia?

Submit what? The "My Dad's Gone Crazy" bit? Well, I think it's really a nursery rhyme that's been used a lot. anyway, I'm not on that site. So submit it :flower:

Yeah I'm not really buying that the locations in that one are right either, I was just using it to illustrate the point about the metaphor not being literal, (he's not saying he has literally been struck by lightening)

I was gonna tweet Mr Porter or one of those guys and see if they know...

Yeah but Curtain Call was a "hit" I believe it's like 5x platinum. So ether way he has 6 that have gone multi-platunim before Recovery

Yeah it's a nursey rhyme about Pigs just like the 3 little pigs story.. IF your not gonna Imma submit Your catch, plus the nursery rhyme pig theme callback, to the three little pigs in the previous metaphor and Amadeo's translation, for that line!!

sweeeeeet Thank you man!!! Edit: And Thank You Amadeo!!!

Do you see these, on there?

motor so big
You can fit a midget in his engine

Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin will I spend spend
Even 10 cents on you. - I thought here it was a metaphor for "he ain't "buying" their shit" , shit being the top 10 list. But then I don't know what this one is, or how it fits

Since when Did you think it’ll cost me a pretty penny
Shit, if I think a penny’s pretty
Just imagine how beautiful a quarter is to me

So maybe that's not it..

JPPPPPP!!!! Remembering that was from "my dad's gone crazy" you really right more than you might know!! Amadeo Too!! I went back to that song to look at the context that line is used in. And he's saying the same thing there,(only much more cleverly) Plus some!!

Here the My Dads Gone Crazy context - "Then quit bringin my flows, quit giving me my ammo
Can't you see why i'm so mean? if y'all leave me alone, this wouldn't be my m.o. I wouldn't have to go eenie meenie minie mo Catch a homo by his toe,"

"Eenie-meenie-miney-mo, catch an eskimo by his toe"
"eenie meenie minie mo catch a homo by his toe" - line from "My Dads gone crazy" is our reference/hint, as to this metaphor's meaning..

[Also note the underlying pig theme, using "Eenie-meenie-miney-mo", is from the nursery Rhyme, about pigs. "catch a piggy by his toe if he hollers let him go..." Once again Em's told us he's a pig (a cold hearted sick pig) "need I remind you that I don't need the fuking swine flu, to be a sick pig," and a callback to the previous metaphors pig theme of "three little pigs"]

"While he's tryna Roll a snowball." Snowball = Ammo

"But, don’t make him lose his cool, If he hollers better let him go y’all." =
"Lose his cool" as in get angry - means the same as the title "My Dads Gone Crazy" - Em's saying they're giving him ammo - as he said in "My dads gone crazy" or warning them not to give him ammo.

But by using the arctic metaphor it allows him to pack in more meaning. In addition to the "Cool" wordplay. " Lose his cool as in get angry because you just caught him by the toe, but also lose his cold snowball (which is cool). One rolls snowballs to hit people with. So an Eskimo, rollin a snowball to hit someone with, in a cold place like the Artic, would be one Cold & Cold-hearted guy, like he says he is in the previous car metaphor, as well as "cold wind blows"

"Em's a cold guy, packing ammo (rhymes), so best not piss him off"
Yeah it’s the best thing I could do right now for you Doodie is to rap
SO Imma fuck til I die, yeah Imma do it to death
