Random thoughts/comments on Oh No

[FreeSpeech]

-His cultural references are incredibly dated, it's weird. Mary Kay Laterno was a teacher who slept with a 13 yo student in 1996. Baby Jessica was a baby who fell down a well in 1987. Why did he include these people in the song? I'd heard of both, but I had to google the dates. If he had brought them up on SSLP it would still have been dated.

-"Where should I put the pink sissy with the fluffy hair?" is one of my favorite Em insults, it's just hilarious how he says it. Perez Hilton is one of my most disliked people alive, I loved how Em ripped him apart.

-Em makes a reference to the underground rap group People Under The Stairs. "Put him under the stairs? People are already under there." I'm not a PUTS fan at all, I can't name a single song of theirs, so I'm not trying to read into this. The second I heard that line I thought of them, I'm pretty sure it was deliberate.

-Relapse 2 was possibly gonna be called Rehab. "First I Re-up, then I Relapse, go to Rehab then I Detox." Notice how he puts his latest albums (and his mentor Dre's upcoming album) in chronological order. "Rehab" fits in perfectly, chronologically.

-"I relapse twice after I come out of Brighton" This line might indicate this song was for Relapse 2 and not Relapse.

-"Cuz I react like the She-Hulk when I see Nyquil." IDK much about the She-Hulk, but this line seems retarded. I thought he said seagull at first, and I thought it was hilarious because I pictured Em acting like the seagulls from Finding Nemo and going "mine! mine!" over some Nyquil.

-"...and some Van De Kamp's" WTF is he talking about? Apparently that's a seafood brand. Why mention that???

Just some thoughts, what do ya'll think?

When he says his mom is talking to a plant I remembered "My Fault"

This is my favorite part of the song. Perez is a douche. I was actually waiting for Em to say something about him after all the shit Perez said about Em.

You, him and me thrice.

Oh No is incredibly catchy. I've been bumping it endlessly ever since it leaked. OH and my favorite line is that line where he mentions shoving a bending machine up Perez's ass

That was one of the funniest things Eminem has ever said

I dont get the "Mom was looking at a plant" line.
Like I do but I don't.
Why did people go so crazy about that line? Is it suppose to have word play or pun or something?

thought provoking post, great thread

Pretty sure it's a reference to My Fault.

No, it is just reminiscent of "My Fault" when he says "Sue, you're talking to the plant look."

I think ur reaching about 'under the stairs line' think that is literally what it says. Dead bodies are already under the stairs,no space. So needs somewhere else to put him. Also em has always made outdated references all his career. Without me. 2 trailer parks girls go around the outside.( go on forever) Done it since SSLP

[mdemaz]

Oh no!
What's happening to my brain???????

[xxTrigger1989xx]

Oh No is extremely dope, it has a lot of substance, despite people thinking otherwise

Yeah so why wouldn't he say bodies instead of people? IDK I very well could be wrong, but that was the first thing I thought of and like i said, I'm not fan of theirs so I'm not hoping/wishing he menttioned them.

great thread...some real good detective work you did there to get us thinkin

I think the fact that the references are so dated is just showing his vast knowledge of crime and news, reminds me of the line from Must be the Ganja "How many people you know can name every serial killer who ever existed in a row"

I personally love a few things about this song:
-love the way the accent helps his flow here
- love the way the 3rd verse begins
- love the way he tears apart Perez Hilton (fuck that douchebag)
