Won't Back Down Theory

[whiteamerica]

i'm thinking eminem was being satirical with this song. it is literally line after line after line after line after line of straight metaphors and gay punchlines. some of them are clever but i get the idea that he is making fun of other rappers who do this while at the same time showing them how easily he can do it better than them.

"how you douche bags feel knowing you're disposable?"

stab at generic punchline rappers during his punchline song???

"you say that you want your punchlines a little more compact well shawty I'm that man
these other cats aint metaphorically where I'm at man"

shawty? LAWL. he sorta implies that he's giving them what they want, and then says he's better than everyone else at it???

the flaw in my theory is that he continued putting out songs filled with metaphors and corny punches.

worth a mention imo.

I think he took all the punchlines he didnt use when he was stacking ammo and threw them into one song


Edit: Or i could go for a reach and say it was a subliminal shot at Wayne showing him how rock and rap should be done

[Mr Change]

I don't know if there is any deep meaning behind how this song came together, but he definitely had that mindset of being as loud, exaggerative, and angry as he could just for the sake of it.

I don't like how it turned out, but if i'm in the mood I enjoy it's non stop random agressiveness lol

I'd agree with you
but internet-weed-dude has to share his thoughts 1st

[Sekou]

No. He just wanted to be cool, like Wayne.

I feel like Eminem could have done so much more with a Pink feature. I'm not really a fan of her, but their styles do fit together with Em's production always being rock influenced and both artists had their rebelious phase during the early stages of their career.

And then we get this musically atrocious, lyrically retarded piece of garbage with a generic two-liner as a chorus that could have been sung by ANYONE. What a waste.

Not a bad theory...that's all I have to add.
