Oh so Rock Bottom doesn't have an emo beat? It's not being rapped monotonously? He doesn't force rhymes?
That's not an emo beat. It's a sad beat. It's not an artsy, touchy-feely instrumental like the ones Sadistik raps over.
Eminem's not humping the drums and the tone of his voice does change subtly. Not monotonous.
Force rhymes? Hardly.
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
I doubt Eminem owned a "tech" let alone would "burst" it at someone
Or maybe he didn't mean it literally, he was just describing the way he feels. Just like when someone says, "I'm about to kill this piece of shit" or something along those lines.
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Explain to me how your adrenaline can be caged?
Caged as in, repressed to the point where it builds up and he's ready to explode.
Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders
What the hell is a pathfinder? (That wasn't sarcasm, I really don't know)
Model of vehicle.
While player haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
Obviously forced
Eh...if I had to select the weakest line from the song, that would be it. Still, it relates to the idea of proving all of his doubters/critics wrong by blowing up.
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
Why would he hope they have new locks? Wouldn't it be harder to get in that way?
He's saying it from the perspective of the potential victims. (And he doesn't say "I hope," he says, "hope.") Like, "sure hope your doors got new locks on 'em...because I'm going to try to break in." Or like, "I sure hope you've got a bodyguard because I'm coming for you."
