Favorite lines from each album

[SliK]

Ok so it isn't the most original topic, but I'm sick of only hearing about Recovery. I know it's impossible to narrow it down to just one, but try. It can be funny, angry, sad, whatever.

The following aren't necissarily my favorite lines, but ones I really like or I think are especially poignant or creative. There are a hundreds of amazing punchlines on SSLP and Recovery, lots of hard hitting, jaw dropping material on MMLP and TES, and lots of garbage to wade through on Encore and Relapse so do your best.


The Slim Shady LP

"I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
a brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives"


The Marshall Mathers LP

"Double barrel twelve gauge bigger than Chris Wallace
Pissed off, cause Biggie and 'Pac just missed all this
Watchin all these cheap imitations get rich off 'em
and get dollars that shoulda been there's like they switched wallets"


The Eminem Show

"It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine
Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long
Idolise their favourite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
So they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you, but we're the fuckin' shit in their eyes"


Encore

"Now I just feel stupid for the loop that you threw me for
Can't believe I almost flew the coop for some stupid whore
You used to say all you wanted was for me to be yours
All I ever wanted from you was a few booty calls"


Relapse

"Oh ya there's an excuse you lose Proof so you use.
There's new rules it's cool if it's helping you to get through.
It's twelve noon aint no harm in self inducing a snooze.
What else is new? Fuck it what would Elvis do in your shoes?"


Recovery

"I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he"

[Robbie G]

Those are all real good lines except the Recovery one which doesn't really stand out to me.

[TR shady]

That's kinda hard to do, you'd probably have to listen to each album & then decide which one you think is the best, but like Robbie G said, the one's you chosen where good.

[classthe_king]

I got this

Infinite

"Be all you can be, cause once you make an instant hit
I'm tensed a bit and tempted when I see the sins my friends commit"

SSLP

"I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain"

MMLP

"Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
And M-16's with ten clips each
And them shits reach through 6 kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?"

Eminem Show

"Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes"

Best Rap Lines Ever ^^^^^^

Encore

"And who woulda even knew that who woulda even thought possibly
Cupid could shoot another one of them God damn darts at me
It's true that I got shot in the heart
But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are"

Relapse

"i was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
and sat on the porch and hope and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
i just wanted to fit in in every single place every school i went
i dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid"


Iunno about Recovery

[SliK]

Those are all real good lines except the Recovery one which doesn't really stand out to me.

I guess I'm a Stan but I LOVED Not Afraid when it first came out, I've probably listened to it 600+ times and still love it haha. I just particulartly liked that line in the song, but I admit there are much better on Recovery.

[RadicalMGuy]

SSLP
"One day he came into the bathroom when I was pissin
And he had me in the position to beat into submission
He banged me against the urinal till he broke my nose
Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat
I tried to plead and tell him, "We shouldn't beef"
But he just wouldn't leave, he kept chokin' me and I couldn't breathe
He looked at me and said, "You gonna die honkey!"
The principal walked in and started helpin' him stomp me"

MMLP
"If its not a rapper that I make it as
Imma be a fucking rapist in a Jason mask"

TES
"But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more
I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore, Hailie
So sayonara, try tomorra, nice to know ya
My baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner"

Encore
"I used to say I never met a girl like you before
Still aint got a fuckin clue as to who you truly are
Almost went as far as introducing you to my daughters
Until you went as far as snooping through my drawers"

Relapse
"As I, fall deeper into a manic state
I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait
Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate
I seem to gravitate to the bottle of NyQuil then I salivate
Start off with the NyQuil like "I think I'll just have a taste"
Couple of sips of that, then I gradually graduate
To a harder prescription drug called Valium like "Ya that's great"
I go to just take one and I end up like having eight
Now I need something in my stomach cause I haven't ate
Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak
And you'd think that with all I have at stake, look at my daughter's face
"Mommy something is wrong with dad I think""
(^All one rhyme XD)

Recovery
"I don't think she understands, the sacrifices that I've made
Maybe if this bitch had acted right, I would have stayed
But I've already wasted over half my life, I would have laid
Down and died for you, I no longer cry for you, no more pain
Bitch you, took me for granted took my heart and ran it
Straight into the planet, into the dirt I can no longer stand it
An' now my respect I demand it, I'ma take control of this relationship command it
And I'ma be the boss of you now goddammit"

[Emadyville]

all the ones i read were good, i'ma try and do this tonight when i get time

[bozothe1]

Great topic. It's way too hard to pick one though lol.

Infinite Never 2 Far -
I'll be the prisoner to flee, all of this misery
I'm not wishing to be another fish in the sea

SSLP Rock Bottom -
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain

MMLP Amityville (but remember me has a good one too.. agh)-
I get lifted and spin 'til I'm half-twisted
Feet planted and stand with a grin full of chap
lipstick
Pen full of ink, think sinful and raps sick shit
Shrink, pencil me in for my last visit
Drink Gin 'til my chin's full of splashed whiskers
Hash Whiskey and ash 'til I slap bitches

TES - Till I collapse (basically the entire damn song but heres a portion) -
Soon as a verse starts I eat at an MC's heart.
What is he thinking?
How not to go against me, smart.
And it's absurd, how people hang on every word.
I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve.
But I'll never be served, my spot is forever reserved.
If I ever leave Earth, that would be the death of me first.
'Cuz in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse.

Encore Rain man (SO UNDERRATED, THIS SONG IS SO GOOD)-
You find me offensive
I find you offensive for finding me offensive
hence if I should draw out a line any fences
if so to what extent, if any, should I go?
cause it's getting expensive
being on the other side of the court room on the defensive

Relapse 3 AM -
You're walking down a horror corridor
It's almost 4 in the morning and you're in a
Nightmare, it's horrible
Right there's the coroner
Waiting for ya to turn the corner, so he can corner ya
You're a gonner, he's onto ya
Out the corner of his cornea, he just saw you run
All you want is to rest, cause you can't run anymore you're done
All he wants is to kill you infront of an audience
While everybody is watching in the party applauding it

Recovery Untitled -
Get up baby get a move on, like a u-haul
You can rack your brain like pool balls
You won't ever think of this shit, yeah honey you called?
Well here I come, havoc on the beat, I wreak it
Evil, I see hear and speak it
Lady put your money on shady, fuck that other weak shit
Put your eggs in the same basket,
You can count every motherfuckin chicken 'fore it hatches
Cuz, you can bet your ass that, we gonna get it crackin
Like the Kraken & Titans, when they clash and,
Get your brains bashin so bad,
You gonna have Kurt Cobain asking to autograph on a blood stained napkin


This was so hard. I actually like Eminem even more after doing this you forget how great some stuff is man if you aren't listening to it constantly like 3 am and rain man I forgot how amazing they are

[Slill_Slim_Shady]

SSLP - My worst day on this earth was my first birthday

MMLP - Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
We should be together too

TES - They say music can alter moods and talk to you
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too?

Encore - And the dad that he never had, and how his childhood was so bad
And how his mom was a dope addict, and his ex-wife how they go at it

Relapse - “Haa! Marshall you’re so funny man
you should be a comedian god damn”
Unfortunately I am, I just hide behind the tears of a clown

Recovery - God forgive me for what my pen do!!!

[MikeNUFC]

Good thread

SSLP - this is near impossible. Pretty much every line is well crafted and worthy of best line. Fuck it, I'll go with this from Brain Damage

Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage booth
Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
"This is for every time you took my orange juice,
or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk.
Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt.

MMLP - This is fucking hard as well. Have to be something from Remember Me, I'm Back or Marshall Mathers, I think...

When I go out, I'ma go out shootin'
I don't mean when I die, I mean when I go out to the club, stupid

Eminem Show - This is easy...

That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing
Except for a dream, and a fuckin' rap magazine
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes

Encore - This is hard for the wrong reasons....

And who woulda even knew that who woulda even thought possibly
Cupid could shoot another one of them God damn darts at me
It's true that I got shot in the heart
But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are

Relapse - Big shout-out to the serial killer bit in the second verse of Must Be The Ganja

Now I need it just not to feel sick ya I'm getting by
Wouldn't even be taking this shit if deshaun didn't die
Oh ya there's an excuse you lose proof so you use
There's new rules it's cool if it's helpin you to get through

Recovery - Gunna have to be another Proof line....

Know you just had your heart ripped out and crushed,
They say Proof just flipped out, homie just swift out and bust,
Nah, it ain't like Doody to do that,
He wouldn't fuckin' shoot at, no-body, he fights first,
But dwellin' on it only makes the night worse,

[Jay-19]

SSLP:
You wacker than the motherfucker you bit your style from
You ain't gon' sell two copies if you press a double album

MMLP:
I'm anti-Backstreet and Ricky Martin
With instincts to kill N'Sync, don't get me started
These fuckin' brats can't sing and Britney's garbage
What's this bitch retarded?! Give me back my sixteen dollars
All I see is sissies in magazines smiling
Whatever happened to wildin' out and bein' violent?
Whatever happened to catchin' a good-ol' fashioned, passionate ass-whoopin'?
And gettin' your shoes, coat, and your hat tooken?

TES:
The boogey monster of rap, yeah, the man's back
With a plan to ambush this Bush administration
Mush the Senate's face in, push this generation
Of kids to stand and fight for the right to say something you might not like
This white hot light, that I'm under, no wonder I look so sunburnt
Oh no, I won't leave no stone unturned
Oh no, I won't leave, won't go nowhere
Do-si-do, oh! Yo ho, hello there!
Oh yeah! Don't think I won't go there
Go to the Beirut and do a show there!

Encore:
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the X-mas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
And said some of 'em were from, 'cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that X-mas, I sat up the whole night cryin'

Relapse:
But I already told you my whole life story not just based on my description
'Cause where you see it, from where you're sitting it's probably a 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile in each other's shoes at least
What size you wear? I wear tens, let's see if you can fit your feet

Recovery:
She says it's quicker to count the things that ain't wrong with you than to count the things that are
There's a 7 disc CD-changer in the car, and I'm in every single slot, and you're not, ahh

[ThomasJ]

Infinite :

"Mapping out my strategies to get rich huh
My desire is like a scratch that needs to get itched huh"


The Slim Shady LP :

"Yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away"


The Marshall Mathers LP :

"You want me to fix up lyrics while the President gets his dick sucked?
Fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts
Make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-up
Get aware, wake up, get a sense of humor
Quit tryin to censor music, this is for your kid's amusement
But don't blame me when lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him - apparently you ain't parents"


The Eminem Show :

"It's like my mother always told me
Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana
and codeine and goddamit, you little motherfucker
If you aint got nothin' nice to say then don't say nothin'
uh..
Fuck that shit, bitch, eat a motherfuckin' dick
Chew on a prick, and lick a million motherfuckin' cocks per second
I'd rather put out a motherfucking gospel record"


Encore :

"Wait a minute I think I just saw Bizarre
Nah I guess not, what the fuck oh my god it was
I never saw him run so fast in my life
Look at him hauling ass I think he left his wife"
"There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
But now it's elevated cause once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?"


Relapse :

"Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em,don't expect no help"


Recovery :

"Wake up in the hospital,full of tubes,but somehow I'm pullin' through
Swear when I come back I'ma be bulletproof
I'ma do it just for Proof,I think I should state a few
Facts,'cause I may not get a chance again to say the truth"

[Kez]

Infinite
Infinite
"That eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally
Instrumentally, with entity, dementedly meant to be infinite"

Slim Shady LP
Just Don't Give a Fuck
"I'll make your freak leave you, smell the Folgers Crystals
This is lyrical combat, gentlemen, hold your pistols
While i form like Voltron and blast you with my shoulder missiles
Slim Shady; Eminem was the old initials"

Marshall Mathers LP
Marshall Mathers
"And amidst all this Crist-popping and wristwatches
I just sit back and just watch and just get nauseous
And walk around with an empty bottle of Remy Martin
Starting shit like some 26-year-old skinny Cartman (God dammit!)
I'm anti-backstreet and Ricky Martin
With instincts to kill NSync, don't get me started
These fucking brats can't sing, and Britney's garbage
What's this bitch retarded? Give me back my 16 dollars!"

The Eminem Show
Say Goodbye Hollywood
"I love my fans, but no-one ever puts a grasp
On the fact i've sacrificed everything i have
I never dreamt i'd get to the level that i'm at
This is wack, this is more than i ever could have asked
Everywhere i go, a hat, a sweater, hood, a mask
What about math? How come i wasn't ever good at that?
It's like the boy in the bubble who never could adapt
I'm trapped, if i could go back, i never would have rapped"

Encore
Like Toy Soldiers
"I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and i just lost it
It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won i feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly i'm exhausted
And i'm so caught in it i almost feel i'm the one who caused it
This aint what i'm in hip hop for, it's not why i got in it"

Relapse
Deja Vu
"Now i need it just not to feel sick, yeah i'm getting by
Wouldn't even be taking this shit if Deshaun didn't die
Oh yeah, there's an excuse, you lose Proof, so you use
There's new rules, it's cool if it's helping you to get through
It's 12 noon, aint no harm in self-inducing a snooze
What else is new? Fuck it, what would Elvis do in your shoes?"

Recovery
Cold Wind Blows
"(Man chill!) Nah i can't, God dammit
Rap is a landfill, drop the anvil
These are shoes that you can't fill
Shit, the day that happens the world'll stop spinning
And Michael J. Fox'll come to a stand-still!"

In pretty much every song i chose though each song is full with lines that are some of my favourites, these are just my most favourites from each.

[Jimmy Conway]

Infinite: "cause once you make an instant hit
I'm tensed a bit and tempted when I see the sins my friends commit"

SSLP:"I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
a brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives"

MMLP:"Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
with M-16's and ten clips each
And them shits reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?"

Eminem Show:"I spew it, and look how I got you bitches rockin' to it,
you motherfuckers could never do it like I could do it,
don't even try it, you'll look stupid, do not pursue it,
don't ever in your life, try to knock the truest,
I spit the illest shit, ever been dropped to two inch, "

Encore:"A lot of rappers probably wouldn't know how to take me
If they heard some shit, I'd lay the tape 'fore they erase me"

Relapse:"In the bed with two braindead lesbian vegetables, I bet you they become heterosexual,
Nothing will stop me from molesting you, Tittyfucking you til your breastnipple
Flesh, tickles my testicles"

Recovery:
"I'm back for revenge
I lost a battle that ain't happening again
I'm at your throat like strep
I step, strapped with a pen"

[RickyTicky]

Infinite

There's never been a greater since the burial of Jesus
Fuck around and catch all the venereal diseases
My thesis will smash a stereo to pieces
My accapella releases classic masterpieces through telekinesis
And eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally
With entity, dementedly meant to be Infinite

SSLP

I can't take the pressure, I'm sick of bitches
Sick of naggin bosses bitchin while I'm washing dishes
In school I never said much, too busy having a headrush
Doing too much rush had my face flushed like red blush
Then I went to Jim Beam, that's when my face grayed
Went to gym in eighth grade, raped the women's swim team
Don't take me for a joke I'm no comedian

MMLP

You want me to fix up lyrics while the President gets his dick sucked?
[*ewwww*] Fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts
Make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-up
Get aware, wake up, get a sense of humor
Quit tryin to censor music, this is for your kid's amusement
(The kids!) But don't blame me when lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him - apparently you ain't parents

TES

I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see,
So many motherfuckin' people who feel like me,
who share the same views And the same exact beliefs,
it's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me,
so many lives I Touch, so much anger aimed,
in no particular direction, just sprays and sprays,
and straight Through your radio waves it plays and plays,
'till it stays stuck in your head for days and Days,

Encore

Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.

Relapse

And maybe if I just drink half I'll be halfed buzzed for half of the time
Who's that mastermind behind that little line

Recovery

shit dissin me is just like pissin off the wizard of oz
wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it
grab the scissors and saws and
cut out your livers gizzards and balls
throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with jaws
