Some DOPE metaphors/punchlines since Em has come back

[Sekou]

"See why they call this bullshit a relationship, ships sink "

dunno why i like it

I love that one too.

But the cum back / nut on your spine one is just wack imo. I laughed at it at first, but the more I think about it, the more it's just really redundant to me.

There's a few more I like, but the only other ones I can think of right now are the antidisestablishmentarianism (yeah, I probably got it wrong) one and "'Till then I'll drop the bombs like I missed the pass when I went long / if you don't like it you can kiss my ass in a lint thong - it's really original and I love the rhyming on those two lines.

I guess Recovery's punchlines aren't as bad as I thought.....They're actually pretty good

Yeah, it's just that there are so many and a great deal of them are wack, there's no denying that. And with all the wack ones, haters and fans alike tend to overlook the genius ones. Also, because a few of the worst ones were on the singles.
I don't know about you, but
the monopoly board one on No Love -
"haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead" -
to me.

[RainMan44]

The "bees with no stingers" was so terrible. Lmao.

[mcZu]

''Try to turn me down, bitch, get fucked with a volume knob.''

''It'll never be my chair that you own, crown so tight that it cuts all circulation to the brain, no oxygen, in other words: there is no heir to the throne.''

''Get a knee in the gut, that's the only way I say I need you.''

[mdemaz]

Em jumping on the haters gonna hate bandwagon.
He get's money..

[Liammckshaw]

"See why they call this bullshit a relationship, ships sink "

dunno why i like it

Yeah this one for me too

[Hiphopdane]

Actually I don't mind the "Bees with no stingers"-punchline. It's not great but definitely not enough to bother me. I rather hear that line than just the usual "go kill yourself/fuck off haters".

As for the monopoly board line. I think the word "monopoly" refers to him literaly owning the rap game - not the actual Monopoly game - which makes it bearable. I don't know if this made any sense.

People are a little too harsh on his new punchline/wordplay style. A song like Cold Wind Blows would be quite ordinary if it wasn't for the entertaining way he gets his messages across.

[TheRealFatShady]

I think they're often overlooked, but every Recovery song seemed full - Cinderella Man, Cold Wind Blows, WTP, Won't Back Down

I liked:

"And I don't need a tank top to be a wife beater" and the following line about ripping a tree out of the ground

and "drop the anvil; these are shoes that you can't fill. Shit, the day that happens the world'll stop spinnin' and Michael J. Fox will come to a stand-still"

[BigBangBazinga]

i cant believe no one is saying that batman wordplay

[TheGentlePlayer]

Okey, I know this is not a Eminem punchline but it's from a Em track. (Session One)

Joell Ortiz:
"Homie chill, listen, I swear
I'm God, I give tracks a Holy-feel, and they bite ears"


One of the best punchlines from 2010

[BigBangBazinga]

And people say his punchlines sucks now, damn. Just the ones mentioned so far in the thread makes up for all the bad ones.

[christalgurl]

"Stick my dick in a circle, but I'm not fuckin' a-round"

"It's like apples to oranges, peaches to plums yeah
I'm bananas pussy, cut off the grapes and grow a pair (pear)"

"Need I remind you that I don't need the fucking swine flu to be a sick pig?"

[xxTrigger1989xx]

"Need I remind you that I don't need the fucking swine flu to be a sick pig?"

Dope line

[M-Pyre]

most of these punchlines are subjective whether their good or not

[link shady]

to me one of the best lines or the best line is

"when im not even in my harshest you can still get roasted cuz marshall is not mellow/"

[richard]

the "small pokes, little pricks" line from won't back down, theres a lot goin on there

also, not really wordplay, but "where the fuck is kanye when you need him?" still makes me laugh.

and "you said you was king, you lied through your teeth, for that fuck your feelings [fillings], instead of getting crowned youre getting capped" - i have no idea how he came up with that

most of despicable was awesome too.
