Текст Eminem — Without Me

Two trailer park girls go ’round the outside
‘Round the outside, ’round the outside
Two trailer park girls go ’round the outside
‘Round the outside, ’round the outside

Guess who’s back, back again
Shady’s back, tell a friend
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back
Guess who’s back

I’ve created a monster, ‘cause nobody wants to
See Marshall no more, they want Shady, I’m chopped liver
Well, if you want Shady, this is what I’ll give ya
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that’ll jump start my heart quicker
Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the doctor when I’m not co-operating
When I’m rocking the table while he’s operating (Hey!)
You waited this long, now stop debating
‘Cause I’m back, I’m on the rag and ovulating
I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney
But your husband’s heart problem’s complicating
So the FCC won’t let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So, come on and dip, bum on your lips
Fuck that! Cum on your lips and some on your tits
And get ready, ‘cause this shit’s about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits—fuck you, Debbie!

Припев

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
‘Cause we need a little controversy
‘Cause it feels so empty without me
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
‘Cause we need a little controversy
‘Cause it feels so empty without me

Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners helpless
‘Til someone comes along on a mission and yells, «Bitch!»
A visionary, vision is scary
Could start a revolution, polluting the airwaves
A rebel, so just let me revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass (*smack*)
And it’s a disaster, such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass—you asked for me?
Well, I’m back, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Fix your bent antenna, tune it in, and then I’m gonna
Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter
The center of attention, back for the winter
I’m interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kid’s ears and nesting
Testing, «Attention please»
Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me
Here’s my ten cents, my two cents is free
A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?

Припев

A tisk-it a task-it, I’ll go tit for tat with
Anybody who’s talking «this shit, that shit»
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards
And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie
You 36-year-old baldheaded fag, blow me
You don’t know me, you’re too old, let go
It’s over, nobody listens to techno
Now let’s go, just give me the signal
I’ll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I’ve been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes the shit just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I’m disgusting
But it’s just me, I’m just obscene
Though I’m not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey!)
There’s a concept that works
Twenty million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It’d be so empty without me

Припев

Hum dei dei la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
Hum dei dei la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
Kids!

Текст песни Without Me

Without Me

This is taken directly from the beginning of Obie Trice song “Rap Name”. It’s a shout-out to the guy who was Eminem’s protégé at the time. It’s also a promotion – Obie’s album was coming out soon and he was the next artist to be released on Shady.

When Obie Trice performed once for D12 he introduced himself as ‘Obie 1’, roughly based off Star Wars character ‘Obi-Wan’. Proof then replied ‘naa, real name, no gimmicks.’ From then on, he went by Obie Trice.

It is good to note that the song before “Without Me” on The Eminem Show Drips, features Obie Trice on it.

A reference to the song “Buffalo Gals” by Malcolm McLaren, who was an early trailblazer for Caucasians in the hip-hop world, like Eminem is now. The original lyric is “two Buffalo gals go round the outside”, which Em alters to reflect his white trash upbringing.

This song is the first single from the album The Eminem Show, released in 2002. Em’s previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And as soon as we hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally voice, and intricate lyrics, we know Slim Shady is back.

Eminem is presumably consciously making a goofy, fun little rhyme with this line (he didn’t write it to be the epitome of lyrical ability, although he is an excellent lyricist), and he is perhaps making fun of advertisements that excitedly encourage you to “tell a friend!” about the product or service being advertised.

Using the famous “I’ve created a monster” line taken from Frankenstein, Eminem explains how on his first major label album he created the evil alter-ego “Slim Shady”, which he now feels fans prefer over his actual personality, something he did not intend (his real name is Marshall).

This makes Em feel as though people value him solely as an entertainer, rather than as a human being (“chopped liver” is slang for “useless”).

Em reveals that his alter ego is really just his personality when he’s drunk and high (curiously, also the reason most Rap Genius editors write under a pseudonym)

Since he has struggled with drug problems throughout his life, we have usually seen more of the “Shady” side of Marshall’s personality in his music

Vodka can get his heart pumping fast, much like a thousand volts of electricity from a defibrillator. Another famous Eminem extended metaphor, he doesn’t just say vodka gets his heart pumping like a defib, he describes a full scene that gives the imagery of doctors trying to shock him back to life, but he is still fighting them off because he doesn’t care about his health.

This shows a total disregard for his own safety, which is pretty standard behavior for Slim Shady. This is just one of several songs where he’s made medical/doctor references, one notable being “I Need a Doctor”.

Em is casting himself as a superhero. He does this blatantly in the music video for “Without Me” when he dresses up as, of all people, Robin (Batman’s sidekick). But in this case he is channeling his inner Superman, since that is Clark Kent’s catchphrase when switching into the Man of Steel. Without controversy, everything seems to be really boring in his eyes. So he uses himself as target of the FCC and sensors to create some “controversy”. Because life “feels so empty, without [him]”.

Con-tro-ver-sy; [kon-truh-vur-see]; noun-plural; 1. a public dispute, debate, or contention concerning a matter of opinion. 2. Eminem.

After releasing The Slim Shady LP in 1999 and The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000 – both received by some with serious controversy over lyrical content – Eminem waited a full 2 years to release Without Me as the lead single in 2002. During those 2 year there were really no musical controversies worth mentioning, and it is this Slim Shady is referring to, with a sly grin no doubt.

The way that the media describes Eminem’s fans. In the music video, the main plot is Eminem and Dre dressing up as Batman and Robin and trying to stop a “rebellious” little kid from buying The Eminem Show, parodying how critics view preventing kids from hearing his music as a “heroic” act.

Although Elvis was controversial to many of the parents in the 50’s and 60’s, that controversy eventually died out. Now rock and roll is viewed as “old people music” instead of the music for rebellious youth. Hip-hop inherited a lot of that rebelliousness, so Eminem is pointing out the cyclical nature of controversy.

Also, Eminem is aware that a lot of people compare him to Elvis, and it’s an accurate comparison in some aspects. They both achieved superstardom in a predominately black genre, and were both accused of sending bad messages to the youth. Eminem often refers to himself as the new Elvis, and dresses up like him in his music videos.

Kids feel like they are being trapped by their parents and their old school customs, so something new and vulgar like Eminem gives them motivation to rebel.

Eminem depicts himself as a visionary; he is very intelligent and has a plan for the future. The problem is, the vision that he has is going to upset a lot of parents, so the idea that someone like Eminem is going to control the future scares them.

Eminem knows that his critics view his music as dangerous, so much so that they think putting it on the radio is “polluting” the minds of its listeners. It isn’t surprising that the airwaves never really gave Slim Shady much airtime, but that has changed in the 2010’s.

Irony. Everyone kisses it, but no one wants to look at it. He’s saying that everyone gives him attention by being offended by him and complaining, which is ironic as well.

“A-tisket, A-tasket” is a nursery rhyme, which was also the basis of a song by Ella Fitzgerald.

Em is dissing Kirkpatrick from ‘N Sync because he was the only member of the band to retaliate when Em made fun of them in his earlier years. But you can’t really retaliate when you look like this:

This line added fuel to the fire in the Eminem and Limp Bizkit feud. They used to be friends, until DJ Lethal told TRL that “Everlast would definitely win” in a fight between Eminem and Everlast.

Only pop stars are worthy of direct assault, so Em symbolically sends a minion, rapper Obie Trice, to beat up the electronic music artist Moby.

He doesn’t expect old people to understand or feel his music and he doesn’t really want them to.

This is directed at Moby in the verse but can also be seen as against the rest of American adults that are against him.

This line got remixed into a ton of techno songs. It’s actually a further insult because Moby fans will go to great pains to tell you he’s not a techno artist.

Dissing Moby by saying his career is over

There was a 2 year wait between Em’s last album, The Marshall Mathers LP and his one, The Eminem Show. The MMLP was huge, but some critics doubted that he would ever be able to pull anything off close to that caliber again. They figured the 2 year wait meant he was out of ideas. But now that he’s back all over the airwaves and running the rap game again, it’s time to stop debating if Eminem fell off.

Lynne Cheney, as the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, was the Second Lady of the United States. In this role, she spoke out against violent and sexually explicit lyrics in popular music, most notably those of Eminem.

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) regulates interstate and international communications, including radio. The FCC won’t let him play his songs; they edit and censor them.

The backlash against Em’s lyrics included many attempts to censor his music, including MTV (this was when MTV played music videos).

But, without Em, even the critics feel the empty space he used to fill. They hate to like him, but even Em’s harshest critics know he means a lot to the rap game, so they can’t just completely shut him down.

Since he’s discussing censorship, Em references his own argument about Tom Green doing nastier things than he does on television

Fuck the FCC shit, now Em’s about to say one of the greatest things. In the clean version of this song, the first line has been changed with “jump back, jiggle her hip and wiggle a bit”.

Em sings along to the “Batman” TV show theme song.

At the time this song came out, radio technology was still improving so many radios still had long telescoping antennas as such below that were prone to bending which would cause the radio signal to become distorted

Everyone (the media, fans, politicians, etc.) is perpetually watching everything Eminem does, particularly because of his popularity and controversial lyrics.

Back for the winter: Not only is he back on your general consciousness for the season, but Em’s come back to treat the scene the same way you would a rose; to prune it, get rid of the dead wood, and keep it in the right shape. No one else but Slim could put his contemporaries through such torturous paces.

This line refers to the negative aspect of wrestling towards children. Which ties into the next line. I mean I could be wrong but I do not think a lot of traditional parents would want their kids watching it, my mom didn’t. This song was also created just after the WWF’s “Attitude Era” where they often cursed, displayed nudity, and much more adult material. Parents protested against them during this time probably as much as they have Eminem.

Mocking the critical parents who say Em’s lyrics are horrible and should not be for kids. Em compares his lyrics to an parasitic infection.

The “two cents” refers to Eminem’s freedom of speech, so he expresses his opinions freely and frequently.

Em’s commenting on how he’s considered overplayed and annoying by those who don’t appreciate his music, but the irony states itself in that it is the mainstream audience that causes him to be as played as often as he is.

The bat symbol – Eminem and Dr. Dre dress up as Batman and Robin in the music video for this song

He’s been good at rap (“dope”) and captivating people with the lyrics he writes (“suspenseful with a pencil”) since 1993, when the musician Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol

Even though Eminem has been writting incredible verses since 1993, everybody just seems to care more about arguing that he’s a bad influence.

Not the first time that Em has brought up that subject, in fact, it may be one of the things he raps about the most. The subject of the song Who Knew is basically to mock people who believe that his music causes people to do crazy stuff. Also in Role Model, through sarcasm, he tells kids that he is not a good “role model” and they shouldn’t do the things he does.

Eminem rhymes disgusting by syllable, so that it sounds like discuss-ting. He figures that all this talk about him being disgusting just means that people like to talk about (“discuss”) him.

Many before him have broken barriers in music; he’s not the first to do so

Emphasis on the word “king” – Elvis was known as “The King.”

Elvis Presley, like many white musicians of his time, has been accused of incorporating (or stealing, depending on who you ask) elements of black music and selling it to the masses.

It was also fairly common then for white musicians to rework songs originally made by black musicians and make much more money from them than the original artist.

In fact, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote Hound Dog and gave it to Big Mama Thorton. They felt Elvis could make more money off it…which he did. In that time singer/songwriters were almost non existent. Songwriters often passed songs on to other singers who they believed could make more money off it. “Hound Dog” was also recorded by five country singers in 1953 alone, and over 26 times through 1964.
