Title: Question 'bout the track ''How Come'' from 'D12 World'...
Post by: Conan on April 26, 2004, 02:40:05 PM
Okay, I was playing ''D12 World'' today and this track came on. I was listening to Em's lyrics on the cut and you can tell that this isn't a fictional verse and is obviously about someone he knows. My question is: does anyone else think he could be talking about Royce Da 5' 9"? At first, I went with the obvious thought that he was discussing Kim, but on my second listen I think it fits Em's situation with Royce better. Check it out:

''And I've heard it through the grape vine, we've been beefin' now. After all the years that we've been down''

''You ran the streets, I nine-to-fived it.''

''Then I blew up, to you and mine's surprise''

I dunno, I don't think Em would refer to his relationship with Kim as ''beefin'', nor do I think he would describe Kim as running the streets ;D Then again, he says all that stuff about how when Ronnie died you (the person) was there to comfort him, and be a shoulder to cry on - so maybe its not Royce :D I dunno, I just don't think he's reffering to Kim, and he's probably not talking about Royce - so who is Em discussing? Hmm, I bet I'm missing something really obvious... :P

lol, glad its not just me who though it 'Seer! :P

Yeah, and Royce signing to Shady would be awesome. I hope Em ain't missed his chance to do that, and they put this potential beef behind them.

I think it's about Kim, I don't know though...He talks about some "Bonnie & Clyde shit", and says "and I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more"...

D12 dissed Royce first.. on the "Smack down" track..

Then, Royce's old Bizarre-diss leaked, and after that, Royce handed their asses on a plate on the B & D disc..


I kinda understand that Royce was pissed..
Em was in a situation where he could make basically ANYBODY a superstar..
First, he picks wack D12, then he signs 50, and then he lets the slightly better Obie Trice go platinum..
Seems like Royce would be in front of at least Obie & 50 in the line, D12 was family, so...

Royce alone killed the whole D12 on wax, + he's 10 times the lyricist 50 and Obie is.. lol
When's it Royce's turn.. ? (He kinda missed that train after the disses)

part of the verse is aimed at Royce, the rest of it made up

Or there's always the possibility that certain lines are directed at Royce, and others are directed at Kim! Now why didn't I think of that earlier... ;)

Man, before either 50 or Obie came along, Em executive produced Royce's album "Rock City". It came out in Europe sometime in the end of 2001 or beginning of 2002. Says excecutive producer: Eminem. I got the CD tight here. I dunno why it didn't come out in America at the same time, but Royce WAS the first dude Eminem put money on.

Well.. producing 1 track, and doing the chorus isn't really that big..
He could have signed him, that would have been something else.

Koch fucked up the release, so he had to release v.1 on Landspeed, and the chances of going more than aluminium on Landspeed isn't very big, to say the least.
