i didn't even like Eminem's verses on there that much.
people were still in awe over a super-lyrical white guy. and this was technically his 1st big center-stage guest appearance.
that's what that was all about imo. and this was when i actually liked Eminem, for the record.
See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here
To
shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
as a monger of hate, Satan and
scatter-brained atheist
But
that ain't the case, see, it's a
matter of taste
We as a people decide if
Shady's as bad as they
say he is
Or is he the ladder, a gateway to escape?
Media scapegoat, they can be mad at today
See,
it's as easy as cake, simple as
whistling Dixie
while I'm waving the
pistol at sixty Christians against me
Go to war with the Mormons, take a
bath with the
Catholics
in holy water no
wonder they try to hold me
under longer
I'm a motherfukking
spiteful, del
ightful eyeful
The new
Ice Cube, motherfukkers hate to
like you
What did I do? (huh) I'm just a kid from the
gutter
making his
butter off these blood
suckers, cause I'm a motherfukking
jay-z has never rhymed like this ever in his career.
