Most Underappreciated Eminem Lines

[MikeNUFC]

From Murder, Murder:

"Wasn't me! It was the gangsta rap and the peppermint schnapps"

After all the actions he's just done in the song in such a calm way, he sums it up with a single line like that - it's intentionally ridiculous and is such a clever dig at people who blame things like rap music for crime, violence etc. It's pretty much is the epitomie of why Em was so great then - using humour as a veil for social commentary. That line sort of links back to:

But I ain't set to flee the scene of the crime just yet/Cuz I got a daughter to feed/And $200 ain't enough to water the seed

Because of the situation he was in, Em is obviously quite aware that people do commit crimes for serious reasons, and, linking it to the end line, shows people are quick to blame outside products, such as music, but perhaps don't look at serious reasons such as poverty.

Such a neat social comment summed up in an hilarious entertaining story.

Reminds me of this line in If I Get Locked Up Tonight:

You critics wanna criticize but couldn't visualize individuals lives through a criminal's eyes

To have that kind of line (among others) in such a comedic song is so well done, and goes unnoticed a lot of the time.

Genius, genius, genius.

Murder Murder is just underrated entirely.

[VenomBlackViper]

What makes it even better is the fact he made this before he was some big superstar who everyone blamed for problems (same thing can be said for Role Model), he was conscious about all of this before it ever happened to him.

I honestly find this astonishing. Role Model is the best example, but it's scattered throughout I'm Shady as well:

I think I got a generation brainwashed to pop pills and smoke pot til they brains rot

Shoot up the playground and tell the kids to stay in school

Cause I'm the one they can relate to and look up to better, tonight I think I'll write my biggest fan a fuck you letter

cause you stupid motherfuckers think I'm playin when I say it

And on JDGAF there's this:

Don't take me for a joke I'm no comedian

And then of course, on SSLP special edition, there was an accapella verse from Bad Infleunce, which is literally all about that:

You probably think im a negative person dont be so sure of it/ I dont promote violence i just encourage it

I grew up in a wild hood as a hazardous youth with a fucked up childhood that I use as an excuse

[Devil'sAdvocate]

SSLP Em was god.

I feel like I’m morphin’, into something that’s so incredible, that I’m dwarfin’

All competitors, better get your girlfriend in check

It’s psychological warfare, endorphins I effect

His self esteem shatters his dialect


I always loved the opening of Seduction. It's certainly not his cleverest, but I feel Seduction is unappreciated on the whole.

There's a lot more underappreciated lines, but the ones mentioned were def deserving

[Blake]

"fack,fack,fack, im gonna fuck-in cum"

This line is very underappreciated. Clearly he was going against racial sterotyping as hes saying, hey white people can twist words like black people do, example: man to mane. He did it with fuck to fack. At the end of Fack he sticks a gerbil in his ass. Obviously hes encouraging people to try new things and experiment and do what makes us happy and say fuck the world because the worlds gonna fuck you. This is really a underated song and probably one of the best on encore.

^ don't ruin this thread

[obzion]

great thread. i always liked that line, but didnt actually see it in that way. cool, great stuff

[flyingmonkey10]

fantastic fucking thread

you sir, deserve mad props for posting

[EminemInsider]

Should make this thread into, "Most Underappreciated Eminem Lines."

Here's my contribution: "I guess I don't know my own strength" from LTWYL. This can be taken two ways. It can be taken literally, as in, "holy shit, I really hurt her. (maybe next time I ask her to do the dishes she'll do them, lulz)." It can also be taken to mean that he overestimated his ability to control his anger. He thought he was strong enough to control his violent impulses and just proved himself wrong.

Since it'd be insane to try and find them all from old stuff, I'll just say whats off the top of my head from some of my fav hell TS songs. I dont see hell TS being praised all that much around here (granted, I don't visit much)

Long as I got two balls to palm,
I'll be the bomb, you're just a
false alarm

way he says it... I felt em was back after this line, i pretty much buried him because of the quality of his lyrics in all the songs that got leaked the last few months but this part.. he still has it.

this is ridic:

Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, flustered
Cuz he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing
Brain fuzzy, cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it
Wasn't cause he had buzzards circle around his head
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
Or was it, cause them bitches wrote him off
Little hussy ass fusses, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it


Also I want to put a lot of stuff from buffalo bill, murder murder and my darling... Man, as much as I hate some of the stuff I've heard from eminem in the last year so, theres really nothing he can do to taint some of his old songs which is ridiculous because we live in a what have you done for me lately world and thats amplified on the internet. love it.
