Music Invasion: Diss Tracks

Last year, there was a good summer feud between Mariah Carey and Eminem, it didn't get as much media attention than it should. Given Eminem's track record, no one should be surprised that he is a jealous lover and apparently they have hooked up a few times which after things hasn't worked out. Out of occupational hazard and bad manners, he put it in songs and vent to the world. Subsequently, Mariah also comes up with songs to deny.



Obsessed

I was like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?

Will the real MC please, step to the mike?

All up in the blogs
Saying we met at the bar
When I don't even know who you are
Saying we up in your house
Saying I'm up in your car
But you in LA and I'm out at Jermaine's.
I'm up in the A
You so so lame
and no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed, it must be the E
Cause you be popping hood
You get it popping, Oh

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you're sexing me (when everybody knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth still couldn't hit this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy you're losing your mind
It's confusing yo, you're confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

You on your job
You hating hard
Ain't gon' feed you
I'm gonna let you starve
Gasping for air
I'm ventilation
You out of breath
Hope you ain't waiting
Telling the world how much you miss me
But we never were
So why you trippin'
You a mom and pop
I'm a corporation
I'm the press conference
and you a conversation

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you're sexing me (when everybody knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth still couldn't hit this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy you're losing your mind
It's confusing yo, you're confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

Obsessed has been randomly popping in my head at times. It's an automatic gay bars anthem for sure. Diss tracks usually contain a purpose, a target to diss, so there's attitude, a clear storyline and a message. The songs are specially tailored to make sure it sounds fierce. The results are usually better than average in quality. In response, Eminem came out with The Warning, which is juicy and better than a lot of his former works.



The Warning

Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me,
Now I'm pissed off.

Sit back homey relax, in fact grab a six pack, kick back while I kick facts,
Yeah Dre sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the same exact tat that's on Nicks back
I'm obsessed now,
Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?
Wow Mariah, didn't expect her to go balls out,
Bitch, shut the fuck up before I put all them phone calls out, you made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick,
When you was on my dick and give you something to smile about,
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count,
Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out,
You probably think cuz its been so long if i had something on you I woulda did it by now,
Oh on the contrary, Mary Poppins, I'm mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud,
Enough dirt on you to murder you,
This is what the fuck I do,
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do and goes for Nick too, faggot
You think I'm scared of you?
You gonna ruin my career you better get one,
Like Ima sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cunt that made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once,
Yeah, what you gonna say? I'm lucky? Tell the public that I was so ugly that you fucking had to be drunk to fuck me?
Second base? What the fuck you tell Nick, pumpkin?
In the second week we was dry humping. Its gotta count for something,
Listen, girly. Surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early 'cos ejaculated prematurely and bust all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel your stomach's curling.
Or maybe you do.
But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare say it isn't true.
As long as the songs getting airplay I'm dissing you.
I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued.
I was gonna stop at 16. That was 32. This is 34 bars. We ain't even third of the way through.
Damn, Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who?
Oh did I say whore, Nick? I meant a liar too.
Like Ive been goin' off on you all this time for no reason,
Girl you out ya alcoholic mind. Check ya wine cellar. Look at all the amounts of all the wine,
Like I fuckin' sit around and think about you all the time,
I just think this shit is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme.
But fuck it now i'm about to draw the line.
And for you to cross it that's a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb.
I can describe areas of your house you wouldn't find on an episode of Cribs,
A blow below the ribs if I hear another word so don't go opening your jibs cos every time you do its just another load of fibs,
I ain't saying this shit again, ho, you know what it is.
Its a warning shot for I blow up ya whole spot,
Call my bluff and Ill release every fucking thing I got,
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top,
When me and Luis were tryin' to stick two CDs in the same spot,

(Slim Shady I love you)
I love you too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say?
(Its nothing)
Yeah so what I'll do?
Is refresh your memory when you said I want you
Now should I keep going or should we call truce?
(You think you're cute, right? Hahaha)
You bet your sweet ass I do
(I'm Mary Poppins, b)
And I'm Superman, ooo
(Mary P. Slim Shady)
Comin at you
So if you'll still be my (babygirl)
Then I'll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.)
Yeah, I'm right here
(You like this)
Nope. Not anymore, Dear.
It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life)
But I'm movin' on with mine
Nick, is that your (wife)
Well tell her to shut her mouth then Ill leave her alone,
If she don't (sing this script?) then I'ma just keep going.
(I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann's saying cut the tape, cut the tape. Knife!)

I don't understand why Eminem would tell the world about his premature ejaculating episode but after this track came out we didn't hear anything from either of them other than Sir Elton John has been helping Eminem battling his drug addiction and Mariah just accepted an award drunk. I wonder when Eminem says that he and Luis trying to put 2 CDS in the same slot means what I think he means, I sincerely would have liked to see Luis Miguel naked.

Hollaback Girl was a song written because Courtney Love called Gwen Stefani a cheerleader and Gwen owning it. I have always liked the track.



And who can forget the classic You're So Vain from Carly Simon that is rumored to be about Warren Beatty?



What a beautiful song!
