No rapper, not even the greats of hip-hop, is immune to the occasional hiccup. Even though Eminem is a great lyricist, he is no exception.
Slim Shady’s illustrious 25-year rap career has produced 11 solo albums that have reached impressive milestones. During that time, he wrote some of the creepiest and craziest lyrics ever written while releasing some of the greatest songs in hip-hop history. But even the Detroit rap god’s divine puns can’t save him from firing off empty balls from time to time.
To non-fans, Eminem’s ploy of embracing being Public Enemy Number One by constantly saying the nastiest, most attention-grabbing things ever is an acquired taste. But even Eminem fans will admit that the D12 co-founder has gone too far or too far.
Even Eminem seemed to admit he was disgusted by the much-criticized “We Made You” from his 2014 collaboration with Sia, Guts Over Fear, rapping: “I ain’t got no more emotion to draw from/ Just a bunch of fun songs, I made them for fun/So, by the time dawn breaks, I’ll be playing the same old songs on repeat/But I’d rather make Not Afraid 2 than make another muthaf**kikn’ We Made You’ah.
Em hopes to wow fans with his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), and here are 13 of his worst contributions to the album.
