Just Noticed This Shit! "Lighters" Lyrics in The Way I Am

[nandish]

I was just re-reading Eminem's 2008 autobiography "The Way I Am" & found this. Its on the first page (page 154 in the book) in the Ghost Trapped In A Beat : Original Handwritten Lyrics From The Personal Collection Of Marshall. B. Mathers III section. Eminem had written a line similar to "Switchblade to a (hater's") ribcage" line from "Lighters", way back - around 1999 - [the lyrics in red on the left are from "Bad Influence"]. This proves that Eminem does go through his previously written lyrics, like he said on the CBS 60 Minutes interview... or it might just be a co-incidence

Just thought that this might be interesting

There's also a line similar to 25 to Life in a scan I have...it's about his daughter, not rap, but the wording is similar.

Interesting.

He's said switchblade a few times, also says it in "Rap Game" and naturally, he goes towards the same kind of rhymes or words ie. rib cage = switch-blade / rib-cage when he uses X phrase. He uses a lot of phrases multiple times.

In other words, hes using other words (that he wrote a long time ago)!

Yeah sometimes he'll recycle rhymes. Like today I was listening to We As Americans and he does it a few times in that song.

Eminem recycles lines in almost every song, its ridiculous.

I was listening to 'Not Afraid' today, and he saID "I'm not Afraid" at least THREE times in the SAME SONG!
