EMINEM 8 MILE ROAD TRADUZIONE MOVIE
You can watch Eminem choke in the video below from the movie ‘8 Mile’. He is choking on his own words and he can hear the crowd booing. So he is pretty nervous.ĭespite freestyling, Eminem can’t even remember the verses he practiced backstage. Hence, when Eminem takes the stage, he is basically the only white rapper out there. Back when these events were unfolding rapping was predominantly owned by African Americans. He is about to rap battle-a form of freestyle rapping performed in front of a roaring crowd and the winner is decided by the vote of the audience. The clock’s run out, time’s up, over – blaow!Įminem speaks about Jimmy Smith’s condition as he is about to go on stage. He’s choking, how? Everybody’s joking now He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready So Eminem combines word play along with some severe hidden meaning in these seemingly funny lyrics. They were poor and spaghetti was their choice food. He lived with his drug addict mom in a trailer park. It is a direct reflection on Eminem’s life growing up. Why “mom’s spaghetti” though? For one thing it works marvelously with the rhyming scheme he has going on with words like ‘sweaty’, ‘heavy’ and ‘already.’ But this choice of food serves a special purpose too. Jimmy-B-Rabbit-Smith is preparing backstage to face off in the rap battles and his emotions are explained in these lines. Here, Eminem is describing about Jimmy Smith Jr.-the character of Eminem when he was doing rap battle in underground Detroit. There’s vomit on his sweater already: Mom’s spaghetti His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy But are you brave enough to grab them, use them and make them your weapons?

Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone.Lyrics Review and Song Meaning of “Lose Yourself” by Eminem Ultimately, both Jay-Z and Eminem use the hook to say that, while they may face public disapproval for different reasons, they will not change their behavior and have "never been afraid to talk about anything". Both of his verses are to state that Eminem and he are liable to kill if the need is felt. Jay-Z's first verse was used as a demo verse for Eminem's verse on the song " Dead Wrong". Eminem sees this outcry as hypocritical, claiming that these parents are using him as a "media scapegoat" to deflect attention away from their own shortcomings as parents. His references to drug use and religion caused many parents to publicly denounce his music. At the time, Eminem was at the center of many criticisms due to the content of his lyrics. On the other hand, Eminem deals with the public perception of his music. He accuses these critics of simply "skimming" through his music, instead of listening thoroughly. Thus, he dismisses critics who lump him together with artists who only rap about " jewels". Jay-Z argues that his music is the product of his rough upbringing, and that it speaks to others going through the same problems. He states his demeanor was "30 years senior," implying that hardships he faced during his childhood forced him to grow up and make adult decisions from a young age. Jay-Z's two verses deal with his fatherless childhood, and how financial difficulties faced by his mother forced him to sell drugs for survival (thus becoming a renegade to society).
The song has different meanings to both artists. Tell him Em' just killed me on my own shit". Rapper The Game made reference to the Nas verse on Ether, on his own song with Eminem, "We Ain't", in satire by stating "Lo, get Dre on the phone quick Nas and Jay-Z had both contributed to the soundtrack of Eminem's 2002 film 8 Mile, with Nas' contribution, "U Wanna Be Me", being a diss towards Jay-Z. Years later Jay admitted the Nas claim in " A Star Is Born". Nas says to Jay-Z that "Eminem murdered you on your own shit " stating that he felt Eminem outperformed Jay-Z on Jay's own song. The song is referenced by rapper Nas on his famous diss song " Ether" made during their highly publicized feud.
