Another Underrated Song

[Relapse.]

As The World Turns.

This song doesn't get as much credit as it should. Personally it is in my top 10 now that I think about (Don't worry guys Last Hit is still #1 - but Off The Wall took #3 replacing Green and Gold, which is now at 4.) But anyways, As The World turns - now the first verse goes into detail about how retarded Em as a kid was, but then when he spits that second verse - it can be debated as the greatest verse he ever wrote.

Hypochondriac, hanging out at the laundromat
Where all the raunchy fat white trashy blondes be at
Dressed like a sailor, standing by a pale of garbage
Its almost dark and I'm still tryna nail a trailor park bitch
I met a slut and said "What up, its nice to meet ya"
I'd like to treat ya to a Faygo and a slice of pizza
But I'm broke as fuck and I don't get paid till the first of next month
But if you care to join me, I was bout to roll this next blunt
But I ain't got no weed, no phillies, or no papers
Plus I'm a rapist and a repeated prison escapist
So gimme all your money
And don't try nothing funny
Cause you know your stinking ass is too fat to try to outrun me

To start off the verse, he is going into detail about how trashy and disgusting he is, and how poor the area he is in, is like. Then he begins to proceed in telling her that he rapes sluts, and wants to smoke some mary but has nothing to smoke out of, so he needs money and tries to rob her, and he specifically chose a fat slut because she cant run away (knowing slims lazy ass)


I went to grab my gun
That's when her ass put it on me
Wit an uppercut and hit me with a basket of laundry
I fell through the glass doors
Started causing a scene
Then slid across the floor and flew right into a washing machine
Jumped up with a broken back
Thank god I was smocking crack all day
And doped up off coke and smack

This is honestly a picture perfect scene. If you can read, then you understand whats going on. (I like how he used the washing machine again cuz hes at the laundromat. lul. get it.?)

All I wanted to do was rape the bitch and snatch her purse
Now I wanna kill her
But so I gotta catch her first
Ran through Rally's parkin lot and took a shortcut
Saw the house she ran up in
And shot her fucking porch up
Kicked the door down to murder this divorced slut
Looked around the room
That's when I seen the bedroom door shut

Again, picture perfect.He used specific alleys, short cuts, and the fact that he saw her run in the house gives the story more sense.


I know you're in there bitch! I got my gun cocked!
You might as well come out now
She said "Come in, its unlocked!"

... you kno some shit is about to go down.


I walked in and all I smelled was Liz Claiborne
And seen her spread across the bed naked watching gay porn
She said "Come her big boy, lets get acquainted"
I turned around to run, twisted my ankle and sprained it
She came at me at full speed, nothing could stop her
I shot her five times and every bullet bounced off her
I started to beg "No, please let go"
But she swallowed my fucking leg whole like an egg roll
With one leg left, now I'm hoppin around crippled
I grabbed my pocket knife and sliced off her right nipple

This is my favorite part. He gives a detailed description about a smell (which is funny), and now imagine a fat ass trailer park slut sprawled out across the bed watching gay porn (Sam.). Now he wants to get away, but he can't cuz he sprained his ankle. Thats honestly genius. Then the rest can explain itself.

Just trying to buy me some time, then I remembered this magic trick
Den Den Den Den Den Den, Go go gadget dick!
Whipped that shit out, and ain't no doubt about it
It hit the ground and caused an earthquake and power outage
I shouted "Now bitch, lets see who gets the best!"
Stuffed that shit in crooked and fucked that fat slut to death (Ah!! Ah!)
Come here bitch!
Come here!
Take this motherfucking dick!
Bitch, come here!


^ Classic line.






This entire song explains itself, but I just want you to see the magic that went into this song. Tell me what you think. If you're high then this will make more sense... because high people can connect in mystical ways.

It's amazing how someone can beautifully word something to conjure ugly mental imagery.

[Slim Fiasco]

As I always say, I fucking love this song, it's my 3rd favorite from Em and I think it's his best storytelling song. The beat and flow, especially the latter, are simply perfect. Song is the definition of prime Em.

Wow, you basically summed up Slim Shady in one concise sentence. Bravo.

And yeah this song is one that I tend to forget about until it actually comes on. When it does, I never skip it. I can't think of any song off the top of my head that displays a more vivid mental picture than As The World Turns. And the ending still makes me smile.
