I don't get this

Postby VenomBlackViper » Mar 18th, '11, 04:25

Why did Eminem write "Its only fair to warn that I was born with a set of horns" instead of "its only fair to warn I was born with a pair of horns" if he wrote that instead it would've made a way better multi "fair rhymes with pair" did it just manage to slip his mind or something?

But its such a simple multi to think of, how did he not think pair of horns would rhyme better than set of horns when he wrote that. It's so obvious it's almost like he originally made it pair of horns and then changed it for some reason.

...because he rhymes "set of horns" with "metaphors" in the next line.

Now that actually makes sense, he probably originally intended it to be pair of horns but changed it to rhyme with metaphors.

This thread had to be made, it's always bothered me about this freestyle. Pair of horns > Set of horns.

Then people like you would be like "why didn't em say "set of horns" to make the multi longer with "metaphors"?"

No, 'pair of horns' isn't better. It's much more creative to rhyme it with metaphors and it sounds better, sometimes more is less. But honestly, does it matter? It was a freakin freestyle.

I was just a little bothered by the wording but your right there really is no point in making a discussion outta this it was one line in a freestyle he did 13 years ago.

Also this would've worked better imo

It's only fair to warn I was born with a pair of horns
And metaphors comin outta my bedsores

umbilical cord didn't really fit that rhyme scheme anyways
as for that other thread I would post in there but this is already here so fuck it.

@everyone else keep facepalming, here i'll do it with you :facepalm

Jesus Christ needs his wife to feed a dyke some peach and rice before she leaves tonight, man he's the sweetest type all he eats is lice, cheese and mice.

As you can tell this thread is pretty much finished, I found out why he used set instead of pair even made better lines. Mods yall can close this shit now, unless you wanna leave it open and call it the official facepalm thread.
