Six minutes slim shady you're on.

[Good For Nothing]

I searched the forum and couldn't find this posted anywhere, but it's probably lurking in the archives somewhere, so if it is lock it.

This is why I love Em's music, if he meant it


Put on “Remember Me.” A little under three minutes into the track, Slim spits some bars about getting the critics off his back:

I’m try'na clean up my fuckin' image
So I promised the fuckin' critics
I wouldn’t say “fuckin'” for six minutes
Just typical Slim Shady critic baiting right? Like Eminem could ever go six minutes without dropping an F-bomb. Well, while it’s true that he can’t go without the word “fuck” (he says it in this same verse mere seconds later), incredibly, if you take this promise as avoiding the construction “fucking”, Slim Shady actually makes good on his promise!

These lines come in with about 50 seconds left of “Remember Me”. Slim manages to then avoid the word “fucking” for the entirety of the next track, “I’m Back”, which lasts, get this, five minutes and ten seconds, meaning that from the “six minutes” lines in “Remember Me” to the end of the next song, Slim has indeed gone six minutes without saying the word “fucking.”

The promise fulfilled, Slim is allowed to say it with impunity on the next track, “Marshall Mathers”, which he does early on in the first verse.

Fucking trippy, right? This kind of insane, brilliant detail from the guy who spat that bullshit line about window pane/pain?

Of course, this whole game is in homage to one of the classic lines in all hip-hop, from Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh (Eminem, like James Joyce, is an allusive trove of madness..)

Never noticed that, awesome stuff!

But I don't agree with you saying that Shady was lightyears better than our current Shady. He had some wack-as-fuck lines back then too.

[Chet Starr]

I never knew he actually kept the promise, I wonder if it was planned like that. It's such a small detail, only mega fans on here would notice

If you meant you as in me, it wasn't it was from that website.

That's kinda crazy, I NEVER noticed that before. If Em actually intended for this, then

But, back on topic. That is pretty crazy. I wonder how long it took people to notice though.

It's mind blowing, if someone finally discovered that after TEN years of it's release, imagine how many more hidden gems there are on all of his albums.

word!! if he did intend it that's actually crazy, if he didn't intend it and it fell pefrectly like that, i can confirm he is god

word

Damn Em,you was god,now you just a good rapper.

Damn, that is some serious attention paid to detail & a nice hidden surprise for anyone who actually looks into the line that close during the CD.

But I don't agree with you saying that Shady was lightyears better than our current Shady. He had some wack-as-fuck lines back then too.

Name them, what wack lines did Eminem have from 97-01?

[xxTrigger1989xx]

All of 'em, tbh.

Encore, ftw.

[mceddie]

i noticed this a long ass time ago, never realized so many people didn't notice it as well. Not hating or anything, just saying.

[Amaranthine]

Whether it was planned or not, that is the sickest thing ever. Amazing.
I read this on Rap Genius a month or two ago.

[buffalo bill]

Wow, I can't believe that most you did not know that before.

Sigh.

Thats cool, the 1st time i heard "remember me" i was expecting him to go 6 minutes w/o cursing, then he says FUCK THAT and I stopped paying attention.
