Mariah Carey - Obsessed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hpiwPXkbVc
Eminem - The Warning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynt7HeKcSKs
However, theres a really good feud brewing nicely at the moment between two of musics biggest hitters: Eminem and Mariah Carey. It all began in 2001 when as Eminem tells it the pair had an affair that ended a tad acrimoniously. This would have been around the time that Eminem was busy marrying, divorcing and remarrying his wife, and Mariah was busy in search of the marbles she had lost.
On the song Bagpipes from Baghdad from his current album, Eminem raps: Mariah, whatever happened to us? / Why did we have to break up? / All I asked for was a glass of punch / You see I never really asked for much / I cant imagine whats going through your mind / After such a nasty break-up. The song goes on to reflect poetically on Mariahs new husband: Nick Cannon you pr**k, I wish you luck with the f**kin whore.
Nick Cannon replied that I see homeboy is still obsessed with my wife, and later invited Eminem out for a fight, while Mariah took the opportunity to write a song about Eminem called Obsessed . Sample lyrics: Youre so so lame / And no one here even mentions your name / It must be the weed, it must be the E / Cause you be poppin, yeah you get it popping / Why you so obsessed with me? / Boy, I wanna know lying that youre sexing me? The video for Obsessed features Carey dressed as a deranged stalker character that could easily be mistaken for Eminem.
Eminem likes to dish it out, but when its served back at him, tends to go ballistic. Last week, in an apparent response to Obsessed , he rush-released a new song called The Warning . Im obsessed now / Oh gee, that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee / Wow Mariah, didnt expect her to go balls out / Bitch shut the f**k up / Before I put all those phone calls out / That 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.
The phone-calls line is a reference to alleged voicemails from Carey that Eminem says he kept just in case she was ever to deny the affair.
He raps: Its a warning shot / Before I blow up your whole spot / Call my bluff and Ill release every f**king thing Ive got / Including the voicemails right before your flipped your top.
These would be the most printable extracts of the song towards the end Eminem gets very graphic indeed about what he says happened between the pair.
This prompted a measured and clever statement from Careys management team.
While we appreciate Eminem as an artist, lately his work has seemed tasteless and unnecessarily mean-spirited. The public seems to agree just look at his declining record and concert ticket sales.
This will only act as more fuel to the fire. The worst, one fears, is yet to come.
howard is an entertainer, just because someone was on his show doesn't mean he is gonna be bias

Also, whenever you hear anybody bring Eminem in these sorts of things (unless they're Bill O'Reilly or similar FOX news MORONS) - There's one thing they never do, and that's deny his talent.
He's such a talented lyricist and his flows are SO well crafted and melodic that even people who dislike rap, when they hear it, they can't deny it. Littered with wit, tongue-in-cheek, metaphor, brilliant rhyme schemes.
He transposes genre.
