Eminem lyrics you would change

[richard]

Alright I know this might be getting some hate, but I think it might be really interesting so I'll give it a shot

I noticed in the other thread about punchlines someone said that the 'Difficult' lyrics would sound better if it went:

"It was like a hundred degrees I was catchin' a sunburn
Tryin' to walk under the trees just to give me some comfort"

"hundred degrees" instead of "ninety degrees" works much better here, and i agree it sounds much better

Since Eminem was always among the best when it comes to rhyming as much as he can in one verse, it's odd when you find things like this. So I'm wondering if you've ever noticed any other lyrics you would change for better rhyme. (I mean, without completely changing the meaning of what he's saying)

Here's one from 'On Fire':

"Shit dissin' me is just like pissin' off the wizard of oz"

to

"Shit dissin' Marshall's just like pissin' off the wizard of oz"

"Marshall" and "off the" would rhyme, combined with the "dissin" and "pissin" and he'd have 4-syllable multis in one line.

You ever thought about the fact that it probably was like ninety degrees?

change:

Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
with M-16's and ten clips each
And them shits reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?

to:

Ayo, some kids, they shoot up they school
Clinton blames me, but he's just a tool

works better imo

It's not about lyrics anymore, it's about a hot beat, and a catchy hook.

It's not about lyrics anymore, it's about emotional content and a sad voice.
