Eminem is Back
In case you haven't heard, Eminem is returning from a five year hiatus with a new CD coming out next month. To celebrate this, here are my picks for the three best songs from each of the previous four Eminem CDs, complete with a sample of the lyrics that make Eminem one of the best rappers alive.
Slim Shady LP (1999)
-My Fault
She said, / I'm twenty-six years old and I'm not married
I don't even have any kids and I can't cook/(Hello!) I'm over here Sue, (hi) you're talkin to the plant, look!
-Cum on Everybody
I just remembered that I'm absent minded/Wait, I mean I've lost my mind, I can't find it
I'm freestylin every verse that I spit/cause I don't even remember the words to my shit (umm, one two)
-Just Don't Give a Fuck
You wacker than the motherfucker you bit your style from/You ain't gonna sell two copies if you press a double album
Admit it, fuck it, while we comin out in the open/I'm doin acid, crack, smack, coke and smokin dope then
Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
-Kill You
I invented violence, you vile venomous volatile bitches/vain Vicadin, vrinnn Vrinnn, VRINNN!
Texas Chainsaw, left his brains all/danglin from his neck, while his head barely hangs on
Blood, guts, guns, cuts/Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts
-Drug Ballad
Back when Mark Walhberg was Marky Mark/This is how we used to make the party start
We used to mix Hen' with Bacardi Dark/And when it, kicks in you can hardly talk
And by the, sixth gin you're gonna probably crawl/And you'll be, sick then and you'll probably barf
And my prediction is you're gonna probably fall/Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall
-The Way I Am
with the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too/When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn) and the heroin/Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy/Now it's so sad to see, an upper class city/havin this happenin (this happenin)..
The Eminem Show (2002)
-White America
See the problem is I speak to suburban kids /Who otherwise woulda never knew these words exist
Who's mom's probably woulda never gave 2 squirts of pissTill I created so much muthafuckin' turbulance
-Soldier
I love pissin' you off, it gets me off, /like my lawyers, when the fuckin' judge lets me off
all you motherfuckas gotta do is set me off/or violate me, and all the motherfuckin' bets be off
I'm a lit fuse, anything I do, bitch, is news/pistol whippin' motherfuckin' bouncers, six-two
-Til I Collapse
Soon as a verse starts I eat at MC’s heart/what is he thinking, how not to go against me, smart
And it's absurd, how people hang on every word/I’ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
Encore (2004)
-Mosh
Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness/As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength/Come with me, and I wont steer you wrong
Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog/To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon’ fight
We gon’ charge, we gon’ stomp/We gon’ march through the swamp
We gon’ mosh through the marsh/Take us right through the doors
-Like Toy Soldiers
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted/And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it/That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build/It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
-Yellow Brick Road
I'd roam the streets so much they call me a drifter/Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and Van Dyke/And steal a god damn bike from somebody's backyard
Slim Shady LP (1999)
-My Fault

I don't even have any kids and I can't cook/(Hello!) I'm over here Sue, (hi) you're talkin to the plant, look!

They Shouldn't Let Me Play With This

I Love Me Some Terps
Who else isn't excited by a win over Cal? We so own them this year. First Kevin Barnes and now our own Greivis just ethering those hippies from Berkeley.
Who would have thought a 13-point upset was coming from this team? Sure, they were the popular pick for an upset by most prognosticators. I myself even had this as a win in my bracket. We all "thought" that the Terps could be the Bears because we've seen how good we can be. We've also seen how awful this team can be (see: Morgan State, @Virginia). It wasn't until after the game that I realized just how amazing this win was. It wasn't that it was so startling that it happened. After all, we thought it would. It's just that this is a team that before the season I thought was going to be just awful. We had no big men, at one point we had no recruits, and I thought Greivis couldn't put Brooklyn on his back or Marcy on the map. For crying out loud, DAVE NEAL. I love that guy and I am so happy that he is in my Class of 2009 at Maryland. I'm so glad that Greivis is even better than we all thought he was. The man will have his number hanging in the rafters of Comcast some day. Believe me, he will. And during his speech he will thank "Scott" and Gary Williams. If you can find a bigger Gary homer than Greivis I'd be utterly surprised. I just love this team. I am in sheer amazement of it. And unlike Ritchie, I'm not drunk while posting this. Right now I'm counting my blessings that I get to experience this, not only as a student but also as a fan.
Thanks Maryland. Thanks Gary. Thanks Greivis. Thanks Dave. Thanks everyone.
Well, not everyone. Kathy Worthington has never won 9 straight first round games in the Lig.
Bring on Memphis.

The Terps are Back
Gary Williams is a bad motherfucker. After being left for dead earlier in the season by Kathy Worthington, the Washington Post, the internet message boards, Mumpkins, the scrillas, and various other asundry entities, Coach Gary Williams turned the season around and used every bit of his coaching juices to gain his 13th NCAA Tournament bid as the head coach of the Maryland Terrapins.
It was clinched with the team's third win over a top ten team on the season in Friday's double digit win over Wake Forest in Atlanta in the ACC Tournament. Admittedly, despite nearly knocking off the Deacs a week earlier in College Park, I gave the Terps little chance to win that game. And that's where Coach Gary Williams made me look foolish yet again.
The Terps were staring down a fourth NIT appearance in five seasons just a week ago after their loss at Virginia, but now a few days later the Terps are going back to the Big Dance for the second time in three years. That invitation also guarantees Coach Gary Williams another year at the end of his contract, extending it through the 2013 season. Thank God for that.
But that's not the end of it. Oh no. God has decided to smile on this program for once. Lance Stephenson, a top 5 recruit out of New York City, is strongly considering becoming a Terp next season. Now, everyone that reads this blog already knows him as simply Born Ready. He's already a NYC legend, one who would team with Greivis Vasquez in the backcourt to make next season's edition of the Terps a legitimate Final Four contender.
Born Ready is down to Kansas, Maryland, and the hometown school Saint John's, with the Terps maybe, perhaps holding a slight lead over Kansas with SJU a distant third. If Stephenson were to committ to Maryland in the next few weeks, it would, combined with the recent tournament berth, almost guarantee that Coach Gary Williams' career ends happily. That's the most important thing. Coach Gary Williams has thrown it back in the faces of the haters. Suck on that.
