He did it in 25 to life and he did it again in stronger than I was.

First verse "you used to say, that Id never be, nothing without you"
Did no one else notice this?

It's annoying once you notice it.

"There's no rhyme or no reason for nothing"
I feel like he probably knows that it isn't grammatically correct, he has probably just talked like that for so long now.

Eminem in 2000 MTV Interview: "I don't owe nobody in my family nothin'."

Weird Al Yankovic in parody interview: "You don't owe nobody in your family nothing? Wow, that's a triple negative. Does that mean you do owe somebody in your family something?"

Lol it's the most obvious double negative. When I read the thread title I was sure it was about this line.

He used a double positive in the Sway interview too "when my voice was more higher like this"

He has always done it... all those rules are just ideas. If you know what he means anyway then he should make it flow as well as possible in addition to making sense. Holding him to some man made standard when the art he is conveying is trying to portray something much bigger than petty little grammatical rules is just silly.

He's done it in several songs besides those. A lot of it is done so it will flow well in the song.

makes sense

Song writing doesn't need to be grammatically correct. Artistic writing is different from academic writing.
