Humor that Eminem is missing

[Pauly D]

He had it before and here's an example from My Name Is back on the SSLP:

I lay awake and strap myself in the bed
Put a bulletproof vest on and shoot myself in the head (Bang!)
I'm steamin mad (Arrhh!) And by the way, when you see my dad (Yeah?)
Tell him that I slit his throat, in this dream I had

Mainly the bulletproof vest part. That's genius humor. It may not seem like it is, but when you're randomly listening to the song, and you hear that. It makes you go, "What the FUCK?" *REWIND* "HAhahahaha that's great, you hear what he just said?"

When you got people doing that, you're doing something right.
Instead of him worrying about punchlines and wordplay like today's rappers do, how about focus on more of that type of humor which makes people go "Whoa" more than the punchlines and shit.
Punchlines are great, but they can get old, and Eminem isn't the best person for punchlines, let's face it.

[Pauly D]

He was not that clever anywhere in Relapse. He was trying to hard and didn't let it come natural and easy. That's why it got old quick.

I always thought that line was hilarious, classic.

i know right, talking about punchlines i can only remember there being one "play on words" on the whole MMLP and it was in criminal where he goes, "hey its me Versace - whoops somebody shot me/ and i was just checking the mail, get it? checking the male?" which is genius cuz he was murdered rite outside his house.

and because he was gay, obviously the other half of why that makes sense/is funny/ is dope as fuck

Glad people agree

I like serious Eminem far more than the funny one, to be honest. The dark humor from MMLP, I love that shit, but the humor on SSLP...particularly My Name Is, doesn't make me laugh as much for some reason. Songs like As The World Turns or Brain Damage are BETTER examples of his humor than on My Name Is

Oh I agree, but I was using the one line as an example because that helped give my argument substance and it held weight. A line everyone could think was genius humor.

mmlp>all his albums it was best medium of funny and serious

SSLP is the funniest hip hop album ever made i think.

Rock bottom and If I had are the only songs that aren't made to be funny i think.

[bipolar-bear]
