jay z a star is born eminem reference

[shadyfreakzul]

when jay said "what em did was silly" what was he talking about.I thought he was talking about relapse

Wayne did a millie, 50 did a millie,
Ye too, but what Em did was silly,
the white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him,
his flow on Renegade, f-cking awesome,
Applaud him

Thread closed.

please show some respect he is a foreigner just like you, and just dont quite understand the lyrics like many people from outside english speaking countries.
I hope you will consider this in the future

hey who told you i dont understand english.i understand the lyrics.some agreed with me that silly is not to be used on what eminem did.

[2sDay]

Maybe silly as in goofy referring to the SSLP?
He practically had an R rated cartoon going on in his songs

idk just a hypothesis

hey who told you i dont understand english.

thats not what i said, what i said was:

i just said that you didnt understand what was meant by silly in that context and by that you didn't quite understand the lyrics i never said you didn't understand english although i think now that you have trouble reading it

i understand the lyrics.

didn't you ask a question about the lyrical content because you didn't know exactly what it meant ?
thats not really understanding them if you ask me

but enough blabbering i was just backing you up here because i thought it was kinda rude for some one to respond like that on a normal question

[Alaine]

when someone says "Eminem is sick!" that doesn't mean he's literally sick you know

"silly" in this concept = unbelievable amazingly (Em's sale) = positive reference

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

I'm in awe that the word "idiom" hasn't been used in this thread yet.

-An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate to the literal or definition of the words of which it is made.

*There are estimated to be at least 25,000 idiomatic-like expressions in American English.*-

That's why English is such a tricky language, because there's so many different versions of it.

[Evil-Genius]

He's saying that it's "silly" how many records Em sold.

Thats exactly what he meant , you got it right bro

[flyin dutchman]
