The Careys vs. Marshall Mathers

I didn’t really want to go in on this one too much because it was kinda stupid in my book. By now, most of us have heard the song “Warning” that Eminem made dissing Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. I can’t really ride with Em on this one like I usually do. I can appreciate the song for its lyricism, word play and all that other good stuff. But on some real shit, it’s kinda wack to me. And how does Eminem manage to diss The Careys and still ethers himself worse than anybody else on the track? True to Mariah’s song, dude, you do sound obsessed. It’s one thing to mention them in your song off your new album 7 years after you already had your way with her. But to save recordings of her voicemails, that I’m sure you were holding on to in hopes that something like this would happen, is just kinda crazy. But what can we expect from a drug addict, white guy who was abused as a kid, and may or may not have been sexually abused by his stepfather. Despite the fact that you are one of my favorite rappers, and you even murdered my favorite rapper on his own shit…Em, you lost on this one.

But Nick Carey, this was your chance to be the hero, but you didn’t jump at the opportunity. I don’t wanna say you went out like a pussy, but…the facts are all laid out on the table saying that you did. The most you can say after another man calls you a “fag” and puts your wife on blast to the whole world about how he banged her, is a quote from a bible verse via twitter. Pull ya skirt down, B! It’s one thing to turn the other cheek, and it’s quite another to look like a straight up bitch (Little Nicky chose the latter). Let me tell you why Mr. All That/Wildin Out should have taken every opportunity to verbally attack Marshall Mathers. If he keeps it on wax, he can’t lose. Yes, we all know that Eminem is a superior emcee and that Nick Carey is somewhere between Souljaboy and Gucci Mane. That’s exactly why he should take the chance. If he gets slaughtered in a rap battle Ja Rule style, then it’s ok because everyone expects that to happen anyway. But the biggest difference between Nick Carey and Ja Rule is that, Nick never had a rap career to risk losing. If by some chance Nick does get the upper hand in a rap battle, he might gain some respect from his wife and she won’t make him carry around her purse anymore while they go shopping.

I’m gonna give you the benefit of t the doubt here, Nicky, and say the people at NBC didn’t want the host of their most popular show to engage in a rap battle and put a muzzle on you. Because if that is what happened and you go ahead and diss Eminem anyway then you’ll probably end up getting fired. Then when you see him in the streets, he’ll get his Detroit goons to beat the living shit out of you. Now you would have lost your job and your money, Eminem still fucked your wife and told the world about it, and then he would have beat your ass for having the audacity to stand up for your wife.

The moral of the story here is that it doesn’t matter what road he takes because he still gets to sleep with Mariah Carey every night for the time being, and at the end of the day that makes him a winner in my book.
