What Does Eminem Mean By These Lyrics In Yellow Brick Road

[Wreck]

3rd verse, great song...I am just interested in the conversation aspect of this question. I have an idea of what it might mean but I will share a little bit in a second in here. Here are the lyrics I am referring to in the song:

"which reminds me...back in '89, the first time me and Kim broke up, she was trying to 2 time me
and their was this black girl in our school, who thought it was cool that I rapped, so she was eying me
and oh through the irony, guess what her name was?
aint even gonna say it, plus, the same color hair as hers was, and blue contacts
and a pair of juggs
the bombest goddamn girl in our whole school
if i could pull it off, not only would i become more popular, but I would be able to piss kim off at the same time
but it backfired, i was supposed to dump her, but she dumped me for this black guy
and that's the last I, ever or seen or heard from the old foolish pride girl...........

....and you know the rest.

i understand the whole describing the black girl, and the old foolish pride thing, but what was ironic about all of this? i'm thinking maybe the black girl's name was kim too, and maybe was a different color version of kim. it's like when ppl say, you marry your mother. instead he was trying to diss kim, make her feel jealous and be popular- so he would kill two birds with one stone, but it was the same exact girl personality wise as kim, which is what was so ironic, and besides the fact that the plan backfired anyway like he said. what do you think?

I think its about that black girl,the one that Em called N**** or somethin

[Wreck]

i think it's pretty obvious her name was Kim ( the foolish pride girl )

or maybe her name was Tracy Scott (last name of kim) or something

how is it obvious though, do you know Eminem? lol seriously though.

but I think her name was Kim too, but I bet most people at first didn't understand what goes on in that song at first. Their is a lot of details, but I agree w/ you their.

yeah i know that. i was just wondering what was the obvious part about her, when he was describing what she looked like.

[Emadyville]

My assumption was her names Ebony, cause he says "same color hair as hers was" and she was the foolish pride girl, so she was black, which means she would have had black hair. That's my thoughts anyway

[gutawafang]

I assume it's another affair we don't know about. I mean, there MUST be things Eminem keeps to himself only right?

[Cypher456]

its pretty obvious that Armadillo is a douchebag too.

[Cypher456]

^ lol wtf, amadeo sounds nothing like armadillo. & how armadillo is supposed to be offensive is beyond me.

you're such a fucking cipher, cypher.

why don't you go back to sending me angry PMs giving me your address & threatening to bash me? fucking fake thug. fucking faggot.

Lmao why don't you finally get the balls to come down here and see how fake I really am you little bitch, instead of getting all scared and posting it and showing it to everyone like a little coward. And the fact that you don't think being called an armadillo is an insult than you're a retard. How is Cipher supposed to be an insult? Seriously you little bitch, all you do is talk shit on here I really have been edging to get my hands bloody and you seem like the perfect candidate.

[Cypher456]

I don't need to be a fucking boxer to know how to use my fists and not slap people like a little girl. You already said I'm not a tough guy, then why are you so scared to come down here and fight me? I love the tough guy comebacks, because it's really easy to say that on the internet. Whatever, I gave you my address, not hiding behind a computer like your faggot ass, so when you decide to grow some nuts and do it let me know dickface.

[Cypher456]

you know what? i'm seriously considering making a roadtrip to go knock on your door & whip your stupid ass. yeah, bitch. want a fisticuff? i'll crack your jaw.

... oh wait, i'm not a fucking loser & i have better things to do.

Talk is cheap, and that is all you are, a cheap piece of shit. Yeah you clearly have better things to do, being on your fat ass all day watching the forums you faggot. Im really waiting for your dumbass to come here, just promise not to call the cops when I knock your teeth out.
