It's Been Real - Eminem's retirement song?

Postby FreeSpeech » Jan 26th, '11, 05:21

Thanks, it’s been real
I love you but I just can’t deal
With the stress this game is giving me
But, before I go, you know I can’t close the show
Without no…

I feel like this was meant to be the last song on Curtain Call, as well as the last song of his career. Curtain Call was called that because Eminem wasn't sure if he'd ever rap again at that point. The lyrics and tone of It's Been Real makes me believe it was a farewell to his fans. I've heard people say it was the same concept as 25 To Life, I don't think so. It sounds like it was made around when Curtain Call came out, plus the "close the show" line goes with the whole Eminem Show/Encore/Curtain Call theme. What do you all think?

It's pretty chilling when you think about it, that he very may have made this song as a farewell.

I don't know, we haven't really listened enough to tell if it's about Proof or not...

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

I know, it was just the vibe I got. It really seemed like a farewell to his fans. Like, why would he say "thanks it's been real" to dead Proof? I really think this was a farewell to his fans.

Well, it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary to say "it's been real" to a dead friend

Umm, no? :coffee:

Or maybe he wasn't going to put it out at all, or on any album/project. That does happen ya know.
