Eminem Disses Mariah Once Again
Friday, July 31st, 2009Seems like forever ago that we heard rumors that Eminem was dating pop diva Mariah Carey…because it was forever ago. However, for whatever reason, Eminem recently revisited that past and decided to record a supremely controversial diss both towards Mariah and her current husband, Nick Cannon.
This is technically the third time Eminem has attacked Mariah in one of his songs. The first time was a subtle reference in the song “Superman” from “The Eminem Show” (2002). In that song, Eminem was dissing women in general, specifically the gold digging type that he has to deal with as part of being a musician of such celebrity status.
(From “Superman”):
“What you tryin’ to be, my new wife?
What you Mariah? Fly through twice”
On his most recent album, “Relapse”, Eminem dissed Mariah in a more focused and brash style on the track “Bagpipes from Baghdad”, where he rapped in detail about their sordid relationship and Carey’s alleged alcoholism. He also addressed Nick Cannon briefly with the line “Nick Cannon, you prick, I wish you luck with the fuckin’ whore”.
Obviously Carey and hubby Nick where less than pleased with the track. I don’t know if they ever contacted Eminem or made any public statements about the original diss, but for whatever reason, Eminem felt like he had more to say on the issue.
On this new diss, “The Warning”, that has just hit the internet (and is spreading like wildfire as we speak), Eminem opens with a statement: “Only reason I dissed you in the first place? Was ’cause you denied seeing me”, almost as a disclaimer for the content of the song.
This time, Eminem even went as far as to include Carey’s recorded voice from voicemail messages she left him years ago.
