Genius of the Lightening Line...

[M15HKA]

"What's the saying? Lightening doesn't strike twice... Then how the fuck have I been hit six times in three different locations, on four separate occasions?"

Been bugging me to we can interpret it different ways through math or whatever which i had originally but what if we look at it a different way?

Hit by Lightning 6 times=6 Studio Albums(Before Recovery)
4 Occasions=4 Compilations(8mile,The Singles,Curtain Call,Re-Up)
3 Locations=3 Collaborations(With D12)

I don't know just another way you can look at it?

You can't count the studio albums before Recovery and the d12 albums after recovery.

Well there goes my conspiracy theory
What about scratching the D12 Collaborations part and adding 3 number 1 singles as Recovery doesn't count? arghhh I'll stop

[Emadyville]

I was thinking there was something behind it, but didn't really sit down and think about it, good work embase

[voice23]

what it mean is this...hes not sayin he got struck twice in each location...he's sayin 'hey you know the sayin where theres thunder theres lightning and that shit doesnt strike twice in the same spot...but I have been struck 6 time in my whole life...twice in one location..twice in another location...and twice in yet another location...but this time it wasnt in a row..I was hit one at a time on seperate occasions---hence the 4 seperate occasions,,,,twice 1 place 1 occasion-twice second place 1 occasion-once 1 place one occasion-once same place diff occasion

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

6x3 = 18.

18x4 = 72.

The 72 thing is totally off from what Eminem is saying.

You're misinterpreting it.

You're right, but you explained it horribly

[dolphi]

If it were 4 occasions, and he would have been hit twice every occasion, he would have been hit 8 times

[Evil-Genius]

72 is Ems birth year

[SliK]

He's saying he has been struck six times, at three different locations, on four seperate occasions, right?

Meaning he could have been struck once at location a, twice at location b, twice at location c and finally once at location a again.

yeah but someone was saying twice each occasion

[AnalKiddo]

Lol, when i heard i this line it did come out to me as one of the better lines in the song, loved it

[MikeNUFC]

For some reason that line reminded me of his early 1999 collab verses

[slimsoxshady]

72 is Ems birth year

thats pretty cool actually
good find

[Myth]

Wow...

He is saying he has been hit by lightning 6 times... period.. not 72.

He got hit in 3 different locations... so out of the 6 times he got hit he has been hit in 3 different locations...

on 4 different occasions.. so that means there was 4 days he got hit by lightning..

in first location he got hit once each day on 2 different days(in otherwords he got hit and then a different day he went back and got hit in the same spot.)

in the second location he got hit twice in a day.

in the third location he got hit twice in a day.

so in other words he is playing the concept that getting hit with lightning twice is rare but he has been hit in the same spot not only twice, but also on 4 different days....

get it?
