He said the same thing on a diss track a decade ago, and this song is basically a warning to what will happen if you diss Eminem. That's all the evidence I need tbh.
While that may be true in the sense that it displays some indifferent viciousness, I don't think "Cold Wind Blows" is conceptually a warning not to diss Eminem. I think it's a song that speaks to his cold nature, and as a result, mentions the Mariah Carey thing along with many other references to his general bad-assness.
Within this context, it seems like a bit of a reach to say that this line--which stands alone quite well--is a reference to a largely unheard song from a decade before. It's not impossible, of course...I just don't think there's enough to go on here to definitively say that this is the case.
"I Remember" is my favorite diss track from Eminem though.
You do have a point. I should of worded my post better. The song itself may not be a direct warning not to diss him, but the overall 'don't give a fuck' vibe of the song gives that impression that you wouldn't want to mess with him. Especially with that jab at Mariah thrown in there. You're right though this doesn't mean it's 100% the case, but without Eminem's confirmation, this is all the evidence we have to base it on lol. Out of all the subliminal messages people have found in Eminem's lyrics, I think this is the most plausible one don't you think?
And word, the way Eminem just flipped Everlast's singing style back on him and executed it a lot better is pure genius. His rap verse is was totally worth the wait after two verses of singing haha.
