The 2000s were so edgy man

I still never understood the song entirely. He's proudly saying he is what everyone claims he is?

I believe he's doing the opposite, but with rhythmic sarcasm.

Back in high school this girl that I knew LOVED this song and said she could really relate to it. She was called many things and there were a lot of rumors about her. She was always like "Okay sure I am whatever what everyone says I am, IDC."

Yes

He had a reputation for being an asshole and the song is saying he is an asshole so fuck off

80% of Enemim's work is him whining about how hard it is being an universally acclaimed millionaire who is above the law

Its weird how some songs bring up random memories, but I distinctly remember bagging ice at my gas station job and this song just being stuck in my head for hours while I worked

Loved that video back in the day. Marilyn was also legit scary in his prime bro.

Oh for sure. This version of Eminem would beat the fuck out of the Eminem collabing with Rihanna LMAO

It's a good song and it touches on some legit problems too. This line always gets me:

When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it 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 happen

So many gun deaths, far more than mass shootings, in this country are inner city kids who feel like they have no chance of escaping their situation because our society is so absolutely fucked, so they turn to crime and drugs. Their tragedies never take up 5 days of media coverage on every news channel, but they make up so much more of our needless deaths in this country.

not only that but dude raps fast for no reason, calls people stupid for not liking his recent albums and delivers some of the corniest bars imagineable.
