Eminem's 'Warning' to Mariah Carey: 'Better Shut your Lyin' Mouth'
Upset by assumptions that Mariah Carey's recent foray into man drag (above, left) in the video for her track "Obsessed" takes aim at him, Eminem has released a rapping response in which he attempts to set straight her claims that the two of them weren't at one time involved.
Defensive much?
Listen to "The Warning", AFTER THE JUMP...

So he dry humped and nutted early. That's supposed to hurt Mariah?

This tune is hard. Let's be honest here, Mariah got told like a little bitch. What was she playing at anyway; this is Em's territory.

Wonder what all of Eminem's gay supporters (Elton?) think of him calling Nick Cannon a faggot in this song? It's about real-life, so it's not a character...Genius still?

I think the point is that she's said nothing happened between them. He clearly doesn't care about embarrassing himself, but it at least says that she's the skank we all knew she was for letting him hit it in the first place.
And I think, as always, it's lyrical genius (though I wish he had left out "faggot" obviously).

Wow he's pissed! Just goes to show he really is obsessed. Here's hoping she doesn't respond and focuses on putting the new album out!

Whoah. Eminen is a Goa'uld!

if i'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you

So, if a girl lets a guy hit it, she is a skank... Well, I guess you can add me to that...
I think that it is GREAT that Mariah lets Eminem have it; he keeps dissing all these celebrities (especially female ones) and using terms like "faggots" to out down guys (oh and then be BFF with Elton John to pretend he is not a homophobe...)
I say bring on the gloves, and oh, watch out for the bus...

I did not say letting a guy hit it makes her a skank...I said letting HIM hit it and then lying about it out of clear embarrassment makes her a skank. Mariah Carey is notorious for letting people hit it if she thinks it'll get her somewhere (note her former husband). Granted, after hearing her sing at MJ's memorial service, it's no wonder she has to pull stunts to get attention - she sounds horrid. I would not be shocked if her next album uses the unfortunate autotuner so she can relive her glory days. ZZZZZZzzzzz.
She started it and hopefully will be smart enough to leave it alone.

Yawn.

Eminem? He's still famous? Blimey!
Posted by: Nanaki | Jul 31, 2009 12:45:31 PM
What's more uncomfortable to watch than two has-beens lamely rehashing a trivial encounter from their VERY faded and increasingly distant glory days? And why drag Nick Cannon into this lurid and pathetic mess? It's just so sad that people could be so freakishly insecure. Wow.
Though I'd be impressed if she dissed his pec implants and bargain basement face work.

At least Mariah still sells records internationally, when's the last time Eminem cracked the top hundred? Wonder if he'll dis Bruno also for putting his nut sack in his face? You know Em liked it.
Posted by: Matty | Jul 31, 2009 1:12:26 PM
But Matty you simply prove the point re: Mariah...if she's so high class and he is so budget, then why was she with him in the first place and why does she release a single YEARS later about it? I think that is Eminem's point and seems to be a valid one. If she's so happily married to Nick, why bother with all that?
Posted by: Alex | Jul 31, 2009 1:16:26 PM
Oh and FYI, Crack the Bottle was number one on Billboard Top 100 just this year. And is the first track to be released from his new album. I'd guess there are more to come.
Also We Made You, the second single has broken into the top 10 on the same list.
Something her latest song Obsessed has yet to do.
Posted by: Alex | Jul 31, 2009 1:21:16 PM
Okay if we are going to start comparing #1 singles, you better check the facts Eminem = 2 Mariah = 18.….After 8 years he comes out with “Bagpipes for Bagdad” slamming Mariah and Nick, so she comes out with “obsessed” but never even mentions Eminem by name although she did imply it was him. Both should stop, but this new track by Eminem is nothing but a im still jealous song, kind of proving he is obsessed with her, and I don’t see how anyone could think hes hardcore, he goes after Britney, Christina and now Mariah, wow he has beef with so many girls….LAME.

Must be the botox or detox or something that got Emmie's panties in an uproar.

A) Just because someone calls someone else a faggot does not mean they are a homophobe. Males, have you ever called your male friends a bitch? Does that mean you are degrading women? You fags are too sensitive with that word but dont care if bitch and cunt are thrown out there. Its a word and unless we are calling you a fag to your face, get over it jeez. BTW im not homophobic, i tell it like it is.
B) Em just brought up the whole thing in Bagpipes because thats what he does: mentions celebs in his raps. Why arent you (or her) pissed about the Kim K references? Cuz its just bs. He had a feud with mariah in the past, she has had updates in her life with nick and everything so he addressed it in a funny way. The whole song wasnt about her, just a part. Then nick cannon fires off a 1,000 word blog threatening him about how he'll kick em's ass and he is a racist and all these things and mariah makes a whole song a video about it. Like Alex said, if nothing is true and she is so happy with nick and this is really such a tired old crap beef, why bother with this guy? Why does she make a song about him & a video dressed as him and nick flame a 1,000 word blog about how pissed he is? They should not have come back, if mariah is so "high class" this would be beneath her but now she is in eminem's territory: beefing on wax, where no one walks away from it without serious damage to their careers. Mariah would be best to shut her mouth right now cuz she cant afford another song like that to be released about her.

If Em gets any more botox Mariah's drag will be a more natural-looking 'man' than him.
Posted by: sparks | Jul 31, 2009 3:13:47 PM
Jason - I was not comparing who was a more successful artist. I will not argue that Mariah has had more #1s for sure. I was simply pointing out to the above commenter when it was that he broke the top hundred, which the commenter alleged had been a long time ago when in reality he had a #1 this year. And her single about him, her latest single this year, hasn't broken the top ten.
I mean the woman put on reverse drag to make her point. They both need to grow up frankly, but at least this is who Eminem is - this is what made him famous. For her, it seems petty because she SHOULD be above it.
Posted by: Alex | Jul 31, 2009 3:24:40 PM
I'm curious would there be all this negativity if this was Beyonce & Justin Timberlake or Lady Gaga & T-Pain? It seems that whenever Mariah's name is attached people get so rediculously stupid and negative.
I'm one of Mariah's biggest fans....do I think it was wrong for her to do "Obsessed"? Absolutely not, let the bitch do what she wants, I think she has earned that right after 18 #1's. She never name drops Eminem and doesn't us profanity in her single.
Trust me if Eminem had all this blackmail on Mariah like he says he does, he would have released that instead of wasting his time on a shitty song.
Mariah isn't a dumbass, she would never cross the line of dissing Em if she knew he had something that would embarrass or compeltely humiliate her.
Let them do what they want....all plublicity is good plublicity....nothing is hurting Mariah now, so keep it coming Eminem!

EM kills this...and yeah nuttin early and dry humpin does make hurt her because she's suppose to be this little angel...Nick Cannon better start wildin out lmao
Posted by: Rugged | Jul 31, 2009 4:15:19 PM
I have learned that anyone who refers to him as "Em" is a fanboy, and to therefore disregard their opinion.
That said, I could care less about either of these fools.
Posted by: Wes | Jul 31, 2009 4:26:34 PM
Rap is crap. Why people give it such praise is beyond me. Oh, I know. Because most of the people who like it like thug culture, lowest of the lowest.

Can we shush about the 18 number 1's? 15 or something of those is from when she fucked her way to the top A La Sony CEO Tommy Matolla, hello inflation, my name is Carlos. Her album sales are shit compared to Celine Dion, Madonna, Tina Turner, Metallica etc. Her tour was a flop. Bitch had talent, and I emphisize HAD but she fucked her way to the top and that is why I think she is skanky, not to mention she's 40 and if she wasn't wearing panties you could see her pussy, and her grandma clevage is showing all over the place. She is plastic, her face hasn't had a wrinke in 10 years, she used to be flat chested, and somehow her cheeks are huge, she cant sing [she has been lipsyncing for the past 6 years] which is why she sounds OK on AI but horrid at Jacksons funeral, I could really go on. She is successful in America, but worldwide, not so much. Her last album didn't even sell 1.5 million worldwide, flop.
Ugh. I cannot stand her.
