How Berzerk Flew Over Heads

[NjNets15]

making fun of other peoples lyrics by intentionally making them bad doesn't make them good

No one else has been able to intentionally mock the game/be awful, while at the same time making it very radio playable.. and at the end so ingeniously summing up what he just did, and what to expect.

you guys go ahead and dont enjoy this dope ass eminem era that is upon us. ILL BE LOVING IT.

Just beat me to it dude, i feel completely the same way... he flew over ALL of our heads here. SONG IS SOOOO WITTY. The Marshall mathers potty mouth better get the bar soap lathered line at the end proved it to me hes coming back talking crazy! BERZERK IS AMAZING.

That line really caught me too, wish he rapped it instead of sung it but I'll live with the lyricism.

I think the video will help regular listeners interpret the song better

Only on TR would they praise a song for being awful and pretend that it was intentional

Fuck, you're here.

They always do. NO SPAGHETTI EVEN IS REALLY BRILLIANT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S A SHOT AT THE CRITICS. WHO CARES IT'S A CRINGE WORTHY LINE IN A HORRIBLE SONG, IT'S SO DEEP AND WITTY. LOL THE WAY HE'S GETTING BACK AT PEOPLE FOR BEING MAD ABOUT HIM MAKING UNLISTENABLE FAST FOOD REFERENCES, WHAT DOES THIS GENIUS DO, BUT MAKE A UNLISTENABLE SONG MAKING FUN OF THEM. FUCKING SHADYYYYYYYY.

Everyone hating can choke on a dick when MMLP2 is clearly his best album since TES and possibly rivals it....

Thread title is how Berzerk flew over peoples heads, thread discusses how most of the initial reception of the song tended towards "he's screaming again" or "the beats too busy" or just plain "trash".
Thread seeks to correct this by stating that, in fact, there might be a deeper meaning behind some of the more obviously on-purpose-meant-to-be-corny lines. Something, which really isn't too much of a stretch considering the tongue in cheek nature of the humor of the artist in question.
Slim Cary bursts into the thread, damn near ejaculating over the chance to stick it to these ignorant bastards who are being hopeful the rapper, who is fully capable of doing just that, is making jest.
Dude, relax. Get a girlfriend, smoke weed, cut yourself if that is what gets you off, its really not that serious. Its just music, which people are choosing to interprete in their own way.

Check the post count homie I ain't no forum addict, I just know hip hop. I know Slim all too well... I check TR for Em news and I jumped on here to let the TR fam know what I think the meaning behind this is... when the album comes out.. you'll understand what I'm talking about, forget your initial response to Berzerk and go around telling everyone Em is the greatest...

There are 2 good things about this random song

1. People who dissect the lyrics learn to love the song lyrically and conceptually.

2. People who don't listen to lyrics and love wack rappers don't know any better and just like the song anyways for the off the wall beat and delivery. So while some of us scratched our heads at the 2nd verse after first listen before digesting the lyrics, some people truly were too ''stupid'' to comprehend what he was doing, and they weren't ''smart enough'' to feel stupid, yet still thought it was dope.

So to sum it up, ''Berzerk'' is good for both smart and stupid people.

Well put, and in my opinion exactly what he was going for

Exactly. Eminem was going for both the serious crowd and the stupid crowd. He accomplished that. There is a still portion of people that hate on it, but whatever, they just hate everything.

I've become more of a fan of the song the more I've heard it, and after reading this thread I'm appreciating it that much more. We are seriously getting the "old" Shady back if this song is any indication.

But, like others have said, I couldn't care less who does or does not like this or any Shady song. I'm going to enjoy all of this because after Recovery's mainstream feel, I never thought we'd ever be sitting here discussing a MMLP 2.

LOL, I hate to brag or bring this up, but for the last year I have been adamant and passionately praying that Em would make a MMLP2 (people in The Shady Chat section thought i was ridiculous & told me it won't ever happen) and after the middle finger pic he released, I instantly knew he was going to name it MMLP2. I have to thank God. But I hope Em gets it right.
