"Takes Six Minutes to Get Applaused"

[ArsheyHaq]

Although his lyrics aren't as sharp nowadays, they used to be the best in the world. This thread is for punchlines, metaphors, witty remarks, etc. by Em that you didn't get at first cuz they were just THAT complicated, didn't catch the reference to, or went completely over your head for the longest time.

Like this:

"Bought Lauryn Hill's tape so her kids could starve"

I never got that one until about a year ago. I was always like "wouldn't he be help feeding her kids if he bought her music, thus providing her money...?" Turns out it was cuz she said she'd rather have her and her kids starve than have white people buy her music.

"Cause when I smoke out I hit the trees harder than Sonny Bono"

I thought he said that because maybe Sonny Bono smoked a lot, then I found out Sonny died from hitting a tree while skiing

When I first heard the "checking the mail/male" line, I just thought it was cool and that he was taking shots at Versace. I had no idea Versace was literally shot while checking the mail, since he died next to a mailbox, lol. And the fact that he was gay as well and checking out males made it a really clever line.

[Spyder]

yes but those are you finding out the meaning behind the line,
not that they were so complex it took a while to get

That's a brilliant line. Cruel, but brilliant.

This.

"Here I come scraming attack like I just stepped on one!" is a much better example.

Attack/a tac

He'd be screaming heaps loud/angrily if he steped on a tac, and that's how he screamed the word "Attack". Brilliant, brilliant, line from Almost Famous.

Um NO............Lauryn Noelle Hill never said this. Sick and tired of people just stating is at facts like blind sheep because Eminem said in an interview that he "heard things" about Lauryn and how she was a "bad word", and that he did not want to hear her name.

To this date have we heard any info or audio or outside source to actually CONFIRM that Lauryn hill said this?

Alot of you need to seriously stop bringing up the Lauryn Hill thing and stating it as a fact. I like Eminem(obviously) but look at how idiotic he looked when he said all of this about Lauryn----Like telling an interviewer not to say her name around him because she is a "bad word"............and YEARS LATER he had the "racist tapes" released.

I mean it just makes him look foolish.

Sorry for the rant but there has never been proof that Lauryn hill said this. Give it a rest people. Most likely she never did say it. Basically some random white guy called in(I think Howard Stern but I cant remember) to say that they "heard" Lauryn said it and people ran with it.

Yes I know Im bumping a thread and getting off topic....deal with it.

The Sonny Bono line is a great example of how one should do a pun.
