Nick Cannon Falls Into The Eminem's Trap
Nick Cannon went on a rampage Friday when he heard Eminem's Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon diss track "Bagpipes From Baghdad." On the leaked song, Eminem jokes about his previous short-lived dating stint with Mariah.
Eminem sarcastically suggests
that he wants "her back" while making derogatory slants about Mariah and her
newlywed husband of one year.
Nick's angry blog response no longer appears on his website, however, it was cited by several news sources.
According to MTV, Nick initially thought "Bagpipes From Baghdad" was a joke. "I thought it was old material that had been dug up from when dude 'fantasized' about having a pretend fling with Mariah," the music television channel reported. "But all of a sudden I hear my name in the verse! My first reaction was like, 'This is his new sh-t? Wow, that's too bad.'"
Nick argues that Eminem's attack on Mariah is indicative of negative comments he made about Black women on the song "Foolish Pride" recorded prior to the release of his Interscope 1999 debut The Slim Shady LP. "How did we let him get away with that in the first place? He is a natural born racist is disguise," Nick wrote, hip hop blog Brokencool.com noted.
Nick says Eminem never got
over Mariah. "I feel sorry for him because he must really be stuck in the
past," Nick says, according to US magazine. "Not
only has his music not evolved, but also homeboy is still obsessed with my wife,
the same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from eight years ago."
"What type of grown...man lies about getting with a chick? Only Slim Lamey! LOL!" Cannon added.
Mariah addressed her relationship with Eminem on the song "Clown" from her 2003 album Charmbracelet. Mariah sang, "You should've never intimated we were lovers, when you know very well we never even touched each other."
Nick Cannon should have spoken out. Mariah is his wife, and he needed to defend her. But Nick's approach is all wrong. This isn't a real beef. It is an album set-up strategy within Eminem's shock-value platform. The more people get riled up and complain the bigger Eminem wins.
By getting irate, threatening Eminem, and digging up his old dramas, Nick has done exactly what Marshall Mathers hoped he would do. Eminem is the bad guy people love to hate. Nick has spent too much time on the subject.
Nick should have simply said
that he did not appreciate the song and would discuss it would Eminem.
People are mocking Nick's long, play-by-play plan of attack. He just needs to contact Eminem, make a response record, or just move on. Otherwise, he is just fueling the hype of Relapse just like 50 Cent's preoccupation with Rick Ross helped Ross' Deeper Than Rap secure another No. 1 debut.
We have two really really stupid people who make some of the lamest "Music" on the face of the earth. The only people who give a rats ass are their stupid promoters and the genius's who listen to this garbage.
idk why nick cannon got so upset though, on "we made you" he fries A LOT MORE PEOPLe and trhey aint mad
it's good to see a man stand up for his wife...
but they are FAR too easy of a target. Eminem could have done better than this. maybe.
