Are we just going to ignore this GOAT line from Asshole?

[MikeBett]

Oh and to non Americans ...The OP line refers to the 1849 Gold Rush in California...San Francisco 49ers got there name from

Dope line I agree

[MikeBett]

Even Helen Keller knows that life stinks

I keep wondering what that one meant actually??

[Solace]

Mess that really a diss at Em as much as it was to the press tho?

It wasn't a diss at all, the song basically is Asher saying he loved SSLP and he respects Eminem but he doesn't like the constant comparisons.

She's that woman who was blind and deaf.

[MikeBett]

^^^ oooo yeh, I knew she sounded vaguely familiar....Lol Southpark did a funny show about that actually

[MikeBett]

The Asher Roth shit I just figured out. In the song "As I Em" Asher says; "Em WAS great"...
In Asshole he says..Thought I was history..
He was offended by the was when it should have been an ; is great....makes sense

[Solace]

Like "Em was great, yeah he paved the way for me"
He was inspiration for everybody from A to Z

Is very far from Asher going to the lengths of saying "Eminem is done and is no longer good". Plus that was when Eminem was not releasing any new music. Relapse wasn't even out yet, the song was probably written and recorded months prior to We Made You's release, it's not like he was saying Eminem is washed up at all. He's just saying Eminem did great things in the past and paved the way for white rappers because prior to Eminem they were all jokes.

If "that's a good way to get your ass socked in the mouth" then lel, such a waste of bars.

[MikeBett]

I'm just saying the whole thing makes sense to me now...that, that's what he was responding to and offended by.

Edit.. but the point of his bars tho, was saying it was a backhanded compliment. Calling somebody great in the past tense is one

edit again lol...
It's actually the only place he can use those bars

But goddamn, honkey, that compliment's like backhanding a donkey
Good way to get your ass socked in the mouth

What other wellknown backhanded compliments has he received, besides critiques..but the honkey donkey rhyme..Not a waste, cuz they wudnt exist otherwise lol

[Solace]

Yeah I know what you're saying, I just don't agree with Eminem that's it's anything worth calling someone out on because I don't think Asher had the slightest bit of disrespect in his heart when he wrote that one line.

Sure, it's a backhanded compliment but was Asher supposed to talk about how great Encore, Re-Up and any random Shade45 appearances made between 2006-2007 were lol? Eminem was great.

Yeh it's definetly true at that point your right lol...And I really don't think he had malice, but you never know, he coulda meant it like, Em was great but i'm what it is right now type shit lol...I just think it's not overboard to respond to either....He shuda done it in 2010 tho on Recovery.

[Solace]

Yeah but Eminem loves them outdated references

[Solace]

Nah man look through page 2 of this what are your thoughts

[Iris2]

Came to the world at a time when it was in need of a villain
An asshole, that role I think I succeed in fulfilling

This whole world is a mess
Gotta have a goddamn vest on your chest, and a Glock
Just to go out watch Batman

It ain't never gonna stop. A pessimist who transforms you to Optimus in his prime, so even if I'm half dead, I'm half alive
Throw all my half empty glass in a cup, so now my cup is runneth over

White America's mirror, so I feel awkward and weird, you stare at me and see yourself, because you're one too.

[EminemBase]

I'm actually disappointed by this kind of shit.

He starts off "Asshole" so well... him veering off in to random 'female shit' is always a sign that he's out of relevant things to say; the key word is always 'shawty', 'shawty' is subconscious communication for "Hmm, outta shit, time to revert to slut talk".

[22muse]

Em dissed Asher I think because of his freestyle on Tim Westwood where Westwood was making him freestyle on Em's beats only and he kinda got annoyed and was like "I'm 15 years younger than this dude can I get something recent?" which I think Em took offense.

peep around 3:05...
