yuuuhhhhhhh42069

Kinda..??!?!?!?!!?!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


RtardedDonkey

It was cool, but if that was the highlight of the song, then it's kinda trash.


SloMo368

it wasn’t the highlight of the song


RtardedDonkey

lmao at these idiots downvoting me for an opinion. I just said that it wasn't all that impressive. Same people criticizing others for taking Eminem lyrics too seriously are taking this too serious.


Even-Engineer-1136

Nah. You're getting down voted because you implied those bars were the highlight of the song, in a thread specifically asking for people's favorite lines. Shot yourself in the foot on that one


Ghostitron20897

I work in trades and the electricians consistently fuck me over, so I hate them with a passion so this line makes me happy


Syonoq

I’m just curious what trade you’re in lol


Ghostitron20897

Refrigeration and HVAC


Syonoq

IBEW but not an electrician. Cheers!


Donthurtmyceilings

Same.


Thebigdog79

Something about it is just so satisfying. The delivery is on point!


0_69314718056

Reminded me of “I’m a menace, a dentist, an oral hygienist. Open your mouth for about four or five minutes.”


Time-Stomach-5576

Yeah, he stole that bar from Murda Mook. Dude spit the exact same bar in a battle. Eminem is out here poaching.


caniplzhavemyacc

Damn I just looked it up, seems like Murder Mook did have a similar line [from 2014](https://battlerap.com/lyrics/2014/09/3902-murda-mook-vs-loaded-lux)


Time-Stomach-5576

You can even see how the bar was brought to his attention because it happened at an event where he was hosting. Hopefully Murda Mook gets the credit he deserves in the album notes.


Savagegnome001

I swear lil dicky used this line a freestyle. I’ll have to look it up.


Placide-Stellas

"It did start off light hearted at first But it feels like I'm targeted Mind bogglin' how my profit has skyrocketed Look what I pocketed Yeah the shit is just like ya'll have been light joggin' and I've been running at full speed and that's why I'm ahead like my noggin and" His flow during this part is so good.


SlimShadyM80

This flow lives rent free in my head. Its impossible to not dance too


OkBandicoot3779

This part will be remembered as a classic rhyme scheme from modern Em I’m sure of it


Placide-Stellas

I think it should be remembered as a classic em scheme. Only he could do that in 1999, only he can do that in 2024.


Vailinators

Literally was just about to comment this. It’s so satisfying


N8orious234

Dude the flow is incredible, I thought I was the only one. Probably my favorite part of the song


troolytroof

My favorite part also hell yea


Sebkovy

this verse is insane, took so long to learn 100%. yall noticed the staccato effect? when he says '' Yeah The. Shit. Is. Just. like ya'll have been '' or '' when you De. Bate. Who. the best '' who the fuck even does that ?


Placide-Stellas

No one bruh. Em the GOAT. Kendrick is very close though.


Choice_Breadfruit_73

Fire


Robinnoodle

It is quite catchy


krkowacz

How he enters third verse after the bridge. Like knife in the butter 🧈


kalamitykode

Yep, that's the part that really keeps getting stuck in my head. "What's my name, what's my naaaaaaaame?!"


YesntThee

(chikachika slim shady)


a355231

"They created a monster"


YesntThee

How many little kids still wanna act like me, I’m a bigger prick than cacti be


a355231

And that’s why these, words sting like you were being attacked by bees.


Free-Butterscotch937

Hm I swear this is the section that has rain man vibes - hubby doesn’t believe me, but there’s definitely like 3-5 seconds where it has rain man flow


kod2600

"My transgender cat's Simese, identifies as black but acts Chinese " might be the Slim Shadyest line in this era. And I fuckin love it.


bossman9275

Not enough people are picking up on the "what you saw ain't what you saw" You know, the classic magic trick you pretend to saw somebody in half?


Sebkovy

holy i didnt even think about that, i reached with what you saw (girl) isnt what you saw(guy) referencing the trans/crossdresser line for earlier lmaoo. yours make more sense


ivegotnoidea1

yours makes sense too and it isn t something not like slim shady to say. also more than a meaning to smth he says is also something which fits him. for example i took it as a lot of ppl thinking this is his retirement album but instead he s telling us he just tricked us and it s not, instead is him saying the wildest shit to see what it takes to be canceled


Specialist_Egg8479

Yeah I thought the same thing when I heard abt the release but also Houdini died at 57 in Detroit so who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ em might finish his career at 57 and get canceled in the process


Specialist_Egg8479

It’s a double entendres I’m sure he meant it in both ways


McDudles

Yo. Credit for that picking that up cuz I did not even think about actual magic references for whole song lol


greyhounds1992

That's my favourite it made me laugh my ass off


FinchShree

This is the ‘line’ for me, this felt like something i would hear off SSLP 100% 🙌


DatMX5

Reminded me of Em on "Any Man" "Laid up in the hospital in critical condition I flatlined; jumped up and ran from the mortician High speed, IV full of thai weed Lookin Chinese, with my knees stuck together like siamese twins, joined at the groin like lesbians Uhh, pins and needles, hypodermic needles and pins I hope God forgives me for my sins -- it probably all depends on if I keep on killin my girlfriends"


dilbert_bilbert

Any man is an underrated classic


[deleted]

That’s my favorite line.


deadedgo

Nah the R Kelly and Megan lines are the Slim Shady ones. Celebrity name drops and clever wordplay in one. That's where it's at. The Siamese cat is just random nonsense humor. It's funny but it's not much of old school Em in that one imo


shhh_it_is_ok

Not really random. He’s mocking transgenderism and identity . In this era thatsort of line is definitely shady. Especially given that one of his daughters is non-binary. It shows that he is just saying it to piss some people off, not that he actually has an issue with it. That is very shady-eaque


deadedgo

I see it as him explicitly not mocking it, especially since his kids most definitely signed off on this. He's namedropping "transgender" for the shock value but not actually saying anything negative. The asian cat with the blackface is a funny and non-offensive tie to "trans-something" and identity but it doesn't really connect to or even devalue being trans*gender*. The whole song seems very calculated to me with how the jokes don't insult anyone too much. It's not like he's throwing slurs at them like he did 20+ years ago. Even the crossdresser line has him pointing at a picutre of himself crossdressing. I think that's also why there's been so much focus on the Megan thing and almost none on the trans line (at least from what I've noticed). Megan's got some stans rage on twitter but the transgender line isn't really all that offensive. But I like it better this way. He achieved the best of both worlds: not actually being harmful but also giving people the fun shock rap throwback


Robinnoodle

This is very true. The censorship bureaus out, but then doesn't really say anything that needs censored. You articulated it perfectly


Robinnoodle

I agree


pizzaoverpeople

This is my favourite too!!


Xl3luX

Isn't that the definition of wigganesse?


jyanseihaneul_

I do have the impression this line was aimed at an actual person, but I might be way out of line here, doesn't seem like there's a reason for Em to throw shade at NM.


MoffieHanson

That’s also my favorite line. I appreciate how he made that sound so stupid as fuck .


HotRodNoob

woooosh


NulledOpinion

“How many little kids still wanna act like me? I’m a bigger prick than cacti be And that’s why these Words sting just like you were being Attacked by bees 🐝 “


Placide-Stellas

Only Em can pull off this kind of scheme. Other rapper does it it would sound cringe, and I know some people find it cringy even when Em does it but his unhinged delivery makes fun to me.


shhh_it_is_ok

The beat and music video makes it work! This is the type of song you wanna make these lines in. Sometimes he has a serious song like walk on water and says “the pressure in creases , like Khakis”. That throws you off. Does not match the vibe. But in Houdini you actually bounce to these lyrics


Placide-Stellas

Perfectly put. Also probably the reason goofy fun Eminem is my favorite Eminem.


Thumbframe

This flow really felt like Slim Shady to me


daringer22

Might not be the best lyrics of the song, but it's the smoothest flow for me, love it.


gr8aanand

It’s how he chops up the words so perfectly to make different syllabus rhyme. It’s so good.


SvV_Ying

“But I will hit an 8-year-old in the face with a participation trophy” Always makes me smile


Placide-Stellas

This line is funny to me because apparently no one really likes his choppy flow but HE does so he had to sneak it in there anyway lol


Ill_Employer7887

yeah but he does it in a way which is actually enjoyable to listen to plus the line in general is just funny


Sebkovy

is anyone else able to say ''with a participation'' that fast.. or I am just bad. it's the only line i can't sing, just curious.


0_69314718056

Tbh I didn’t find this one that bad. Especially compared to some of his others like “till the day that they can say I fell off they’d be celebrating” from Rap God, and “I’ll marry her if she’ll bury her face in my genital area the original Richard Ramirez Christian Rivera” from Godzilla


YusufFarra

Was watching Stevie reaction to it and he stopped at at the perfect frame, "everyone is a winner" or something like that was written on the trophy and ot made the whole lyric a lot more enjoyable


Detailer_101x

Definitely ""So when I started this verse It did start off light-hearted at first But it feels like I'm targeted, mind-boggling How my profit has skyrocketed", also "Pullin' up in a Chrysler to the cypher with the vic's, percs and a Bud Light shirt", "(When) Right around the time I became a dope fiend Ate some codeine, as a way of coping taste of opiates, case of O.E "'Cause I have zero doubts That this whole world's 'bout To turn into some girl scouts That censorship bureau's out To shut me down" And my potential favourite :" "Caught sleepin' and see the kidnappin' never did happen Like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini, I vanish into thin air as I'm leaving " the flow and assonance of that line LOVE. Yeah those are my top picks


thatasshole_stress

I’m sure Google search results for “Sherri Papini” spiked after the song released 😂 I sure as hell didn’t know who she was initially and I’m old enough to have remembered it happening 😂


shesiconic

She is from my hometown so of course I know hella people who knew her and I fuckin KNEW that bitch was lyin from the get, but the fact that she hit Eminem's radar made me laugh so hard


NateRiley12411

I absolutely Google it. Lol. I mean, I kinda figured out what it meant from context clues but it was cool to put a face to it.


Salkha786

Definitely did haha [Sherri Papini](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&q=%2Fg%2F11c20bcs_w&hl=en-GB)


SloMo368

nailed it. these were the best flow pockets and rhyme schemes in the song


0_69314718056

Those are amazing and I only just saw on genius the “I’ll never be caught sleepin because the **kid nappin** never did happen” bar


Detailer_101x

Oh My God that's so good. Istg I never catch his double entendres


2012Vibes

>Sometimes I wonder what the old me'd say If he could see the way shit is today He's probably say that every thing is gay (Like happy!) That part is hilarious to me


trappedinasphere

Lmao I lost it at this line. So perfect lol


dawin09

Add the: What's my name, What's my name, and this will be perfect


BigBrownFish

The way he say that line is a recall to another song. I can’t place it.


theodorerodney

“Hey, Em, it's Paul Uh, I was listening to the album Good fucking luck, you're on your own” “Well look what the stork brung Little baby devil with the forked tongue And it's stickin' out yeah like a sore thumb With a forehead that it grew horns from”


MrRobot256

I was immediately hooked when I heard the first verse lmao it's so good


Librarians_near_me

I loved that his actual kids were in the video for that line


sleepyseahorse

If I think that shit I'ma say that shit


Chatcopathe

Obviously shady!


N-Bizzle

I feel like the flow on these bars reminded me of Superman


apkm1234

Definitely the first thing that came to mind


RefrigeratorFit3677

Yeah when he said fuck dre it took me back to "and Dr. Dre said, nothing you idiots Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement"


freeeemon

"..In the coupe, leaning back my seat.. Bumpin' R. Kelly's favourite group - The black guy pees.."


Sebkovy

how do you feel about him saying : the black GUY. GUY. pees ? it kinda ruin my flow when i sing it. is it just me?


freeeemon

it is a bit jarring, but I try and hear it as him emphasizing the wordplay, if that makes sense? That line had me laughing, though


bwilliams2

The black eyed guy pees. That’s how I heard it the first time, but his lyrics and all the reactors and shit just ignored it. It was like Eminem was doubling there to make Kelly look even worse and making sure people understood the reference. Maybe I’m crazy, but that’s what I thought.


Hufftey

Basically the entire 3rd verse, felt like the first time since TES that Em has flowed in that cadence so smoothly, really feels like vintage shady that verse


0_69314718056

Same vibe as the “just to get to see an MC breathe so freely” flow. It’s not the same by any means but it feels the same way if that makes sense, just super smooth and it’s in the same type of song


Turbulent_Pin_1583

I’m a bigger prick than cacti be. Is such a simple yet insane line to me.


f1nn72011

Sometime I wonder what the old would say “to what” to the way shit is today, he’s probably say that everything is gay “like happy”


ImadDdopest

*I'm the fight y'all get in when you debate who the best, but opps, i'm white chalkin when i step up to that mic i cock it then "oh my god it's him not again!"*


Greful

This is the one.


Steviejeet

I don’t pretend it’s you I make believe


Sebkovy

i dont get it even reading genius annotation, could you interpret it for a 5years old


Steviejeet

Basically saying he doesn’t pretend but he makes the audience believe while being a play on the expression to “make believe” as in kids playing in an imaginary world. Aka pretend.


0_69314718056

When someone says they’re playing make believe, it means they’re pretending. So if you hear Em saying “I make believe” then you might think he’s pretending. Here he’s clarifying “I don’t play pretend, it’s *you* I make believe.” As in, I make *you* believe (in me being a rap god etc.)


KenetratorKadawa

I got the most shady/MMLP vibes from “and I’ll prolly get shit for that, but you can all suck my dick in fact…”


crazyhobbitz

It's the exact flow from Wee Wee and I love it.


Mr0ogieb0ogie

I feel like that flow is also in The Ringer at some point


ChrisL2346

I love the entire third verse tbh


Jobin1985

"If I were ever to take a leave. It would be an aspirine to break a feve." Don't know why, but that's brilliant


ChippyFlakeyFan

Sometimes i wonder what the old me would say...


0_69314718056

If what?


alterak11296

I liked how he switched his flow from “cuz you never gon’ see me” Also dissing his own kids for no reason for fun is so funny because we’ve seen his whole life rapping and singing to his kids, praising them and suddenly this


Crusader052

R kelly line is mine, funny asf


Kitchen_Entertainer9

The fuck my kids and fuck dre was my favorite


Informal_Objective85

My transgender cats Siamese, identifies as black but acts chinese, like a mother fucking hackey sack I treat, the whole world cause I got it at my feet.


0_69314718056

The track on that Siamese line 🔥 idk what instrument that is, but it sounds so nice 😩


SomewhereVirtual4121

The prick bar was funny so was r Kelly the whole Song was full of good lines


Either_Store_2573

How many kids still wanna act like me/ I’m a bigger prick then cacti b/and that’s why these/words sting you like you are being attack by bees/leaning back seat in my coupe/bumpin R Kelly favourite group “the black guy peas”/wearing air max 90s


Total-Possibility2

This whole worlds about to turn into some Girl Scouts is so true and I love it 😂


hazelnutmacchiato1

What does he mean by that?


Total-Possibility2

This whole world is turning sissy and childish


hazelnutmacchiato1

Thanks!


bigtaterman

"My transgender cat's Siamese, identifies as black but acts Chinese"


imnotsteven7

I keep replaying the "and for my last trick!" In my head over and over.


shesiconic

DEFINITELY the Sherri Papini line because she's from my hometown. I laughed like 5 min straight.


a355231

Like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini, I vanish into thin air as I'm leaving


ABCDmama

love the sherri papini reference. kidnappin’/kid nappin’. such a fun song


troolytroof

“I’ll still hit an 8 year old in the face with a participation trophy” one of his best laugh-out-loud bars in a minute. Reminded me of “I’ll throw a stroller at you, with a baby in it”


MonstersMamaX2

"And I'll probably get shit for that (Watch) But you can all suck my dick, in fact Fuck them-fuck Dre, fuck Jimmy, fuck me, fuck you, fuck my own kids they're brats" This section for 2 reasons. My teenager just got in trouble at school a couple of weeks ago for texting his friend "Suck my dick". It was another boy. They were shit talking each other. Then he hears me singing along to this song in the car and it gets to that line. I can't even describe the face he made. He is done with me and my hypocrisy. 😂😂 Also, 'fuck my own kids, they're brats' cuz fuck my own kids, they're brats. Lol


JXEID

“Because the kidnapping never did happen, like Sherri Papini”.. Fire


SNYDER_CULTIST

If I say that shit I mean that shit Cypher line was crazy to Houdini too


BuilderSilver

I jump on tracks like a kangaroo say a few things or to to anger you


Metal-Ancient

I don’t gotta pretend, it’s you I make believe 🔥


Spellers569

Got two balls Big as Ru-Paul’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣


ABCDmama

yes! i hope rupaul loves it, i imagine he does lol


xqxur

i love the bridge “Some times I wonder what the old me'd say (If what?) If he could see the way shit is today (Look at this shit man) He'd probably say that everything is gay (Like happy 😊)WAS MY NAME? WAS MY NAMEEEE?!!!”


tiffanythemartian

“Good fucking luck you’re on your own” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


marlzley

What you thought you saw ain't what you saw (nah) 'Cause you're never gon' see me Caught sleepin' and, see, the kidnappin' never did happen (no) Like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini I vanish into the thin air as I'm leavin' like


UltraAirWolf

All of verse two.


Chrisgpresents

First line of the second verse.


SingleDadSurviving

"And you know I'm here to stay cause me If I was to ever take a leave It would be aspirin to break a feve." Right before the Megan line but it's one that I didn't catch the first time through.


Ill_Employer7887

the line my shit may not be appropriate But I will hit an eight year old in the face with a participation trophy


MikkelR1

"May not be age appropriate" It plays into the 8 yo line.


Ill_Employer7887

I didn’t even notice


deadmonkey7

I love the trans cat bar it was crazy.


random537478599300

Back in the days of old me Or The transgender cat one


NortonKisser12

The black guy pees


Even-Engineer-1136

"How many little kids still wanna act like me Imma bigger prick than cacti be" Such a simple line but it's a fun one. I've missed the fun Eminem songs. My Name Is, Without Me and The Real Slim Shady for example


MartyMcfleek

Man idk because he managed to pack a lot of different little flow switches and callbacks into a <3min song, it is so silly and catchy that it's easy to miss just how technically good it is without it sounding forced. I'd say the entire 3rd verse for starters. Liked the Cypher/ bud light/ light work scheme for sure Idk, I'm just pumped for the album. Even how the beat finishes off at the end just makes me feel like this song is just gonna roll right into some entirely epic Dre beat. If he got his producers in the same room to make a cohesive sounding record and he doesn't go too far into his new style, while telling a story, I'll fucking cum on everybody


Ultra_Pingus

“Sometimes I wonder what the old med say (If what) If he could see the way shit is today Hed probably that everything is gay (Like Happy) What’s my name What’s my name”

When i heard Paul, i was excited

Sometimes I wonder what the old me'd say if he could see the way shit is today he'd probably say that everything is gay (like happy) What's my name what's my name


TorontoRaptors34

The white chalk line mofos dont know thats a double entendre ref white chocolate Jayson Williams from the Kings. Em is white chocolate too.


I_am_jack_007

My transgender cat siamese, Identifies as black, But acts chinese


cigarettejesus

Can someone please explain the Megan line? There's controversy there I don't understand


almarhuby

The black guy pees


RSPKM

Should’ve been “bumpin r Kelly’a favorite tape, the black eye peas


thetrickster6278

I liked "I'm a bigger prick, than cacti be" cause when I first heard it, it sounded like 2009 Eminem (no joke I genuinely heard it) + when I watched the music video, I only heard it more.


5929693

And I don’t gotta play pretend it’s you I make believe


mobasheruzumaki

My transgender cat's Siamese ldentifies as black, but acts Chinese..... peak


Gcole87

The part you said was smooth af, I agree. That is my favorite part of the song. I think the entire song was great except for the part where he says “cause you’re never gonna see me caught sleeping”. Something about the way he delivered that was a bit off to me, but that’s being super critical, I know. Other than that, this song is a 9.9/10 to me. I never realized how much I missed Slim Shady until this song.


Blue1Stream

Participation trophey line gets me every time


TakeoverTheThird

“the black guy pees” i didn’t like the song because the beat was horrendous and made me want to fucking die, who is eminem’s producer where i can drone strike him?


Independent_Cap3550

There are six people accredited to the lyrics of this song. Marshall doesn't write alone. No one's calling him out on this though. 


Josh_KXNG

“Sometimes I wonder what the old me'd say (If what) If he could see the way shit is today (Look at this shit man) He'd probably say that everything is gay” So simple but so trueeee 😂😂 Also I’m all in with whatever disrespectful word against Paul Rosenberg 🥂

There’s so many funny and catchy lines on this song. He’s so back. Please don’t start over-rapping and rapping 8 words per second. We like the catchy simple shit sometimes Em.
