Solace wrote:@Dommo, heres another thing I've noticed. Does this make any sense, the connection of Deja Vu and Drug Ballad. Same topic, different view on it though, as in DB=Drugs are good, DV=Drugs are bad.

Deja Vu Chorus:
Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know,
Feels like I been down this road before,
So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me,
Soon as I go home and close the door,
Kinda feels like déjà vu, I wanna get away from this place I do,
but I can't and I wont say I tried but I know that's a lie cause I don't,
and why I just don't know.....


Drug Ballad Chorus:
Cause every time I go to try to leave (Whoa)
Somethin' keeps pullin on my sleeve (Whoa)
I dont wanna but I gotta stay (Whoa)
These drugs really gotta hold on me (Whoa)
Cause everytime I try ta tell 'em no (Whoa)
They won't let me ever let 'em go (Whoa)
I'm a sucker all I gotta say (Whoa)
Is drug's really gotta hold on me?


Hah! Yeah, that's really nice. And it reflects, if I may put it into film terms, Eminem's character development perfectly. Yeah, I really like seeing things like that. It's really interesting.

Just gonna throw in a new one less related to lyrics and more just the formats of the songs. '97 Bonnie and Clyde begins with the car and body dragging sounds, which is the same way Kim ends, implying the prequel format.

Also, the end of '97 Bonnie and Clyde, featuring "I love you" to Hailie, is the same way Hailie's Song ends, albeit, it's far less awkward, strange, loathsome and eerie in the latter, instead far more sincere, real and serious. Quite nice.

Great thread - sure he mentions fifth of vodka on relapse toob ut I cant thinkw here.
I'm Slim Shady - so come and kill me while my name's hot,
And shoot me twenty five times in the same spot,
I think I got a generation brainwashed,
To pop pills and smoke pot 'til they brains rot .

I was thinking of starting a thread like this when I noticed a few things that were "permanent fixtures" in his "lyrical mixtures". Surprised nobody brought up Jason and his mask.

"people get in my face and ask, if I wanna battle then I chase 'em in a Jason mask" - Open Mic
"if it's not a rapper that I make it as, I'ma be a fuckin rapist in a Jason mask" - Criminal
"wackjob in the back in the black stocking cap jacking off to a hockey mask at a boxing match" and "hit Jason Vorhees with a 40" - Underground
"the mask of Jason was found at the scene of the task with masking tape" - We Ain't
"It's making me play hide and seek like Jason I'm so hungry" - Stay Wide Awake
"that's bacon souffle you makin' ain't you well thank you Jason" - I'm Having a Relapse

I think he really liked Friday the 13th. There could be some I'm forgetting right now.

These also tie into each other

"chauvinist pig drove in this big lincoln 'til it went over the bridge" - Desperados (this verse was also used on a "freestyle" that I forgot the name of)
"get in the car start it and start drivin over the island cause a 42 car pile up" - Drug Ballad
"over the bridge into oncoming traffic cause a massive 42 car pile up not a scratch at all" - freestyle over "Respect My Conglomerate" on Tim Westwood

^ Yeah, even in one of the recent Westwood freestyles he says "Jason mask is off and my face is blasted in Tabasco sauce"

Ah yes! One more from Bagpipes from Baghdad:

"Hit Jason in the face with a hockey puck, and told him it's fucking on."

And thanks for that long list Epidemik. That's quite interesting, and somewhat surprising in some regards.

Eminem - Words Are Weapon

My mind is like a fuckin stick of dynamite
Onen I get behind the mic
it's like the wick is lit you bitches die tonight


Eminem - Must Be The Ganja

When I'm behind a mic dynamite is what its kinda like
Get stuck with that same stick that you're trying to light



Well, it's not exact the same, but it's the way he raps it. When I first heard IMBTG, I thought of the lines from WAW^^
