Eminem - Till I Collapse Question
« on: March 03, 2009, 01:26:16 PM »
Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when you real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend tryin to hold on to it cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when it's at its end.
Cause I’m at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in.
I got a list here’s the order of my list that it’s in
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me. But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy
so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me
.
That’s why you see me walking around like nothing’s bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fuckin problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney Nate hit me


Never really understood what he meant in the bit in bold, any1 shed any light on it
It might be obvious and im just bein stupid lol

It's a list of his favorite rappers in order.  So he is saying Redman (Reggie) is his first favorite, then Jay-Z, and so on, with him being just after Nas.  He's saying he believes those are the best rappers out, and that he is one of them.  He doesn't consider himself the best rapper, just one of the best.  But sometimes people leave him off the list of greatest rappers, because of their own envy, but that shit doesn't offend him.  Because he just does what he does, and doesn't give a fuck what others think.

it's a list of the best rappers in the game, and his favourites, he probably means that most people would not see him as one of the best rappers ever

Well put.  I always liked that he called out his favorites.

I think the order's relatively random, he had to make sure shit rhymes and flows, what with rhyming "Biggie" and "then me", etc. But it's a good line and not such a bad list

But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.

I think it's pretty self-explanatory dude.

According to a lot of people he doesn't cut it with rappers such as the ones on that list.

But he isn't bothered because he knows he good he is (how good he was more like).

Kinda had that idea, didnt know who Reggie was and i didnt think people outside of the west coast thought that highly of kurupt to mention him with the others,

Thought it could have been an interesting topic aswell since this place has been so goddamn boring lately  ;D
