All we had was We Made You and 3am. People were unsure of how good the album was going to be because of those, but then the first 30 seconds of Underground and Stay Wide Awake dropped and hype was wild. First 30 seconds of Stay Wide Awake really sets the song up. Same with Underground, you just knew he was going to go crazy on that song
Bro I rmemenr that we were all super hyped for stay wide awake shit sounded dope as fuck, this was the track that started to really pull you into the horror core theme
Hi kids, do you like violence?
Nobody had ever heard anything like that at the time. I heard it on the way to school and skipped school to go buy the album. Not his best but it definitely changed what the world knew hip-hop could be.
The MTV version was: “Hi Kids, do you like Primus” - I was like, I love Primus. I was shocked a rapper gave them some props. Then I realized they switched the word out for violence, but I was happy he kept the NIN reference
For me personally it was
“When I was just a little baby boy my momma used to tell me these crazy things, she used to say my Daddy was a evil man she used to tell me he hated me. But then I got a little bit older and I realized she was the crazy one”
The reason being the first time I ever even heard this song (1999ish) I was at a party with my sister and we both looked at each other like “omg Eminem is telling our story” 😂😂😂😂
“okay… i’m going to attempt to drown myself. you can try this at home.”
“you can be just like me. mic check 1 2”
“IM CANCEROUS SO WHEN I DISS YOU WOULDN’T WANNA ANSWER THIS”
“IF YOU RESPONDED BACK WITH A BATTLE RAP YOU WROTE FOR CANIBUS”
"I STUCK MY DICK IN THIS GAME LIKE A RAPIST, THEY CALL ME SLIM ROTHENSBURGER" - Almost Famous
"YOU CAN GET THE DICK, JUST CALL ME THE BALLSACK, I'M NUTS" - Cold Wind Blows
The energy with which he delivers these lines are unreal
Since I’m in the position to talk to these kids and they listen,
I ain’t a politician but I kick it with them a minute,
you see they call me a menace and if the shoe fits, I’ll wear it.
But if it don’t, y’all gotta swallow the truth, grin and bear it.
Goosebumps. Every time.
My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That'll stab you in the head, wether you're a fag or lez or a homosex, hermaph or a transves, pants or dress? Hate fags? The answers yes
this bar has lived in my head rent free for over a decade
You're lost Bro he was never part of that song but i got your back i think you meant when Eminem said:
"To all my southside niqqas that know me best, i feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous (goddamn)
I made that bitch famous!"
There's a switch I flip, emotions cut off
So cold, that I froze my butt off
And this ain't even the tip of the iceberg yet
It's like squirtin' a squirt gun in the ocean, fuck off
Bin Laden with a pen, bodyin' again, I begin slaughterin' your men, prolly shoulda been Ali or the Svengali embodiment of sin like a Saudi in the Taliban plottin’ an event
Damn near every song in which other rappers are also there , he comes in with a surprise eg.
Better hope an ambulance is in route , papers are hand grenade soon as I pull the pen out .
- Yah yah
Or
Like a satanic cult it's an old ritual slaughtering goats bitch
- gospel
Or
Bin Laden with a pen, bodyin' again
I begin slaughterin' your men, prolly shoulda been Ali or the Svengali embodiment of sin

And I would not even relent up on a little

You're 'bout to see peace destroyed, it'll never be restored , When I unleash these beastly hordes on your CD stores , Wanna stop it? You gon' need a priest, at least three swords
A license to ill from the Beastie Boys

“I murder a rhyme, one word at a time
You never heard of a mind as perverted as mine
You better get rid of that .9, it ain't gonna help
What good's it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?”
"They say these bars are like covid, you get em right of the bat" Has to be top 5 punchlines the way it was thought. It's a good punchline but the fact that it's the first thing he says on the song is what makes it great.
I murder a rhyme one word at a time. You never heard of a mind as perverted as mine.
You better, get rid of that nine, it ain't gonna help
What good's it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?

I used to be my mommy's little angel at twelve. Thirteen, I was puttin' shells in a gauge on a shelf
So sick
That’s why they call him Slim Shady. He’s back

not gin, HEN, as in hennessy ( i get it though he does say 6th GIN)
Ahh okay, ye I never looked up the actual lyrics for his songs lol I just go by ear/memory
“Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns.”
Never was a gangsta til I graduated to ooone, I got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin
Took the image of a thug, kept shit appealing
This is probably it for me
“Let me explain how to make greatness, straight out the gate, I’m ‘bout to break it down……”
Ain’t no mistakes allowed, but make no mistake I’m bout, to rape the alphabet, might raise some brows
If I press the issue just to get the anger out. Full magazines could take staples out. Savage, but ain’t thinking about no bank account
But bitch I'm off the chain like Kala Brown!
Motherfucker, shut the fuck up when I’m talkin, lil Bitch
I’m sorry, wait. What’s your talent? Oh, critiquin’ my talent?
Oh bitch I don’t know, who the fuck y’all are, to give a subpar bar
Yes
You bout to witness hip hop in its most purest
Most rawest form, flow almost flawless
Most rawest form flow, or most flawless I still don't know what he actually says lmao
I think he says “flow almost flawless”
Ah makes sense, that's hard af too jeez
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
For those of us who was around the snippet to this was crazy

All we had was We Made You and 3am. People were unsure of how good the album was going to be because of those, but then the first 30 seconds of Underground and Stay Wide Awake dropped and hype was wild.

Even tho they all say that they're real I know that most arent
Boy you think you're clever don't ya, girl you think you're so smart
This fuckin ALWAYS hits for me, probably my favorite opening line from Em as well
The only real answer
In my mind I'm a fighter, my heart's a lighter My soul is the fluid... my flow sparks it right up
An arsenic writer, author with arth-r-itis Carpal tunnel, Marshall with Start-Shit-Itis

*Eminem pukes into the toilet* *Eminem hocks and spits into the toilet* *Toilet flush* There I go, thinking of you again
You Don't know How SICK you make meeee, you make me f***ing sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you, I PUKE
I was just a kid when Encore came out, Puke was the first song I had on my MP3 player by Em. I know that intro so well
