The stuff of legends
Eminem shits all over Jay-z and then pisses on him from above. Not even close
I remember buying Eminem's first album when it came out, just one the power of some of the underground stuff I'd heard from him - none of my friends had heard of him and we put this album on and we were just blown away by it.
The quality of the lyrics and the way he flows was just incredible. The intelligence with which he told stories was a real breath of fresh air.
Like this second verse of 'Brain Damage' -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA387Em6zckI was harassed daily by this fat kid named dangelo bailey
An eighth grader who acted obnoxious, cause his father boxes
So everyday hed shove me in the lockers
One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin
And had me in the position to beat me into submission
He banged my head against the urinal til he broke my nose,
Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat
I tried to plead and tell him, we shouldnt beef
But he just wouldnt leave, he kept chokin me and I couldnt breathe
He looked at me and said, you gonna die honkey!
The principal walked in (whats going on in here? )
And started helpin him stomp me
I made them think they beat me to death
Holdin my breath for like five minutes before they finally left
Then I got up and ran to the janitors storage booth
Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
This is for every time you took my orange juice,
Or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk.
Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt.
Im gettin you back bully! now once and for good.
I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could
And beat him over the head with it til I broke the wood
Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot..
.. made it home, later that same day
Started reading a comic, and suddenly everything became gray
I couldnt even see what I was tryin to read
I went deaf, and my left ear started to bleed
My mother started screamin, what are you on, drugs? !?
Look at you, youre gettin blood all over my rug! (sorry!)
She beat me over the head with the remote control
Opened a hole, and my whole brain fell out of my skull
I picked it up and screamed, look bitch, what have you done? !?
[m] oh my god, Im sorry son
[e] shut up you c*nt! I said, fuck it!
Took it and stuck it back up in my head
Then I sewed it shut and put a couple of screws in my neck
So many classics from that album. It remains one of my favourite albums of all time. As the world turns and bad meets evil are superb, too.
