In today's scenario, though, he might struggle because the battle are on all together different level, and if he hits that 'in other words' punchline he's a goner.
His verse on Warning was vicious and could earn him big "Ohhh's and Ahh's" in a battle, but that's not enough now.

I dunno man, the Mariah shit was pretty vague... it was a male-on-female diss regarding a semi-relationship and to pull this out:
"Listen girly, surely you don't want me to talk about
how I nutted early cause I ejaculated prematurely
And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling
and said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling"
It's a basic concept famously used by Em to take away the potential ammo, turn it on himself before they get to... but I think in an intense, one on one battle where he knew about the guy's character, style etc. he would destroy himself in hilarious ways - taking away all the potential ammo, yet still make it cool and funny as fuck, and then viciously destroy the other guy...
I've watched some modern battles and a lot of the time it's lame as fuck race-related or dick-related shit, which is standard fodder for Em's previous enemies. It's generic dissing that could be applied to anybody, Em gets into the psyche of the opponent on a very human level. "Bully" for example was a complete character-assasination, and he reasons and applies logic for his own words and actions, it's just a different class to 'look at this skinny honky' kind of material.
Modern battlers can be brutal but it's still pretty surface stuff in comparison, still on a kind of childish level. Em's phrasing is unique and his digs are deeper and more biting.

Em recycled some of the lines from the Rap Olympics at Scribble Jam...ofcourse back then you didn't have youtube and people didn't know....
But if Eminem were in a written league (which is homo in itself) he would destroy these guys. By saying he wouldn't survive in a modern day league, you are saying that these modern battle rappers are better writers than Eminem is....
I beg to differ.
