What are some of Eminem's best uses of wordplay?

Postby shadyblogger » Oct 11th, '14, 16:47

I'm talking about the most clever uses of wordplay you can think of. I tend to associate how strong a pun is with how subtle it is because it makes it that much cooler when you don't realize the wordplay until much later. It's not like the pun was force-fed to you ie. window pane on Love the Way You Lie.

I can think of some mostly from MMLP 2 but there's one on Hell The Sequel that I really like:

"Call me Brett Favre, spell it F-A-V-R-E, yup
It’s wrong, in other words I just fucked my RV up!"

What do you guys think are some of his best uses of wordplay?

EDIT: And I'm referring to mostly his newer stuff just so you know

Always liked this one:

"You should pull over like a sweat-shirt with a hood"

Actually now that I think about it, that whole verse has some really cool wordplay in there particularly the stuff about Kanye

Two of his best (and 11 years apart)

"I just remembered that I'm absent minded
Wait... I mean I've lost my mind, I can't find it!"

"Here I come screaming "ATTACK" like I just stepped on one!"
