Eminem ft Royce Da 5"9 - Fast Lane (Discussion Thread)

[ShadyVsEminem]

Will be interesting to see him defend Eminem

[OMEGA]

Give me some examples of the "corny stuff" he said back in the SSLP/MMLP era.

"Shit's sticking out of our backs like a dinosaur" from Drug Ballad.

Oh no, that's so clever, totally not like the new Eminem. Rite?

There are many more examples; I think I might do a thread regarding this subject.

Um, how is that "corny"? Do you even know what corny means?



There's nothing wrong with the line. Dinosaurs have shit sticking out of their backs. So do ecstasy users, according to the myth. It's a perfectly apt simile and is NOTHING like the new Eminem.

Please, post some more examples and I'll shoot all of them down like I just did then.

How is that corny? Really? Just re-read the line out loud.

To make things clear, I don't think it's a bad line or anything, is just as goofy and not meant to be taken seriously like a lot of the lines he says currently.

bad ass song

I always saw "corny" as kind of a synonym to "stupid" or "cheesy", and I'm sure that's how most perceive that word, but if you by the official definition, yeah, it makes things different.

[ShadyVsEminem]

I can see how Not Afraid and Mockingbird are trite, melodramatic and mawkishly sentimental.

I can see how that would make songs like "Dear Mama" and "Life goes on" corny but there not.........to me anyway

[BumShiv]

even tho he may say some corny stuff it still makes u laugh a little. his corny stuff is better than most rappers out now anyway

[Graphic]

This discussion is hilarious.

[zedzero27]

Lol. is this thread even about Fast Lane anymore?

[ShadyVsEminem]

Those songs don't make you vomit/cringe. They aren't corny songs.

Either do the one`s you listed,a lot of Kanyes pretentious shit does and you like him.

You gave an explanation of why songs are corny and they fit your criteria so dont go use selective thinking now

I lol'd so hard.

[ShadyVsEminem]

If Not Afraid doesn't make you cringe, what does that say about you?

They say that Not Afraid is a 'stadium anthem.' Think about the implications of that. That means there's a stadium of people who are all being moved by lyrics such as 'Quit playing with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap.' Scatological puns are powerful.

Imagine Martin Luther KIng Jr using those kind of punchlines in his I Have A Dream speech. Would be inspirational as hell.

Now its bad punchlines that make songs corny?i saw Eminem in Ireland last year and probably the best part of the show was when he did this song.In my opinion his corniest song ever is Touchdown.

Not Afraid is positive which is a big no no apparently to people when its him being positive

I never really though of Hailies song as being corny yet he didnt wanna release it for that very reason,Dre had to convince him to include it

[One Mic]

Not Afraid is not corny. It's a great 'stadium anthem', and sounds good when you play it loud.

We Made You / Ass Like That / Big Weenie / Fack / Insane ARE corny.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

^ how is We Made You corny,im sorry but the rhyming is incredible on the song,plus he took a very limited subject and expanded the fuck out of it,im sorry if you cant appreciate hip hop,man.

HOW IN THE FUCKING SHIT is Insane corny,Em was rapping in character,the flow was IMPECCABLE,the rhyming was great,it cant be corny.

[OMEGA]

Negative hyperbole should never, ever be taken seriously, so just move on guys.

On topic, Paul confirmed that the dude on the Fast Lane hook is the "Kush" guy. Dude definitely sounds like Nate Dogg, and a good version too.
