Eminem annotates “Kings Never Die” on Genius. The song, which appears on Southpaw: Music From And Inspired by the Motion Picture, is produced by The New Royales.
The cut’s chorus features an ironic closing with the line “Kings never die.”
“My dog ‘King’ died immediately after the recording of this song,” Eminem writes.
In the first verse, the Detroit rapper rhymes about sitting “in Lucifer’s den by the dutch oven.” The line was inspired by a real-life incident.
“I actually dutch ovened myself one time,” Eminem writes, “and it was like Lucifer’s den which became the inspiration for that line.”
Later in the verse, his lines, “How ’bout that, I’m somehow now back to the underdog / But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin’ I never bow-out at” drew inspiration from a 1988 movie.
“Shout to Jean Claude Van Damme,” Eminem says, “I wrote this bar during a Bloodsport marathon on TNT.”
Even though rappers tend to put a premium on authenticity, Eminem says that some of his lyrics at the end of the first verse do not reflect reality, specifically the section where he raps about not being a quitter.
“This is a complete fabrication, because I’ve quit quitting on more than one occasion,” he says. “Such is the circle of life.”

Fuck this white boy! Culture vulture! You never hear a nigga bump this white trash’s music. Wish he never stepped into the scene, because all he did was bring a bunch of white wannabes into our game.
Shouldn’t you be busy not being nominated for Oscars?

Lmaooo best thing I’ve seen all day
Lmaooo best thing I’ve seen all day
You think it’s hitting the news for no reason? We complain, people get into trouble. Black people are gonna have white people shaking their head saying to themselves in their squeakiest voice, “We did wrong please forgive us we’re such racists” lol.
Fuck u then u wanna call em a culture vulture? Why don’t we impose Jim crow laws again and keep u blacks out of our white society u culture vultures
Hahaha before pointing make sure your hands are clean you stoopid racist shit ! Which game is yourz ? There’s no rap game anymore since I don’t play..! Thats the main problem with black people and RAP/Hip-Hop y’all think it belongs to you and only you… You wack fvck I guess your all about that pu$$y money weed thang ! Still as hip-hop fans we should stand together and recognize real talent and spread good vibes. Peace.
Culture vulture??? He’s one of the few that didn’t totally hoe the game out for peanuts outta shameless greed
…jayz diddy Wayne 50 Nicki Drake Ross those are the vultures, fuckin disgraceful how they sold the whole game out but they black so its A OK. Ems one of the real ones. He dedicated his whole life to this shit. That’s what’s killing hip-hop. Ya’ll dick ride the rats and disrespect the real ones.
Redman is quoted on record that EM is his favorite MC alltime. So for all the racist dummies, stop haten, it’ll turn to cancer and kill you from the inside out
em is a legend and can do whatever he wants to black people listen to him more than whites
I don’t think HipHopDX is aware of what sarcasm is. None of these annotations were to be taken serious by Em. Good job Soren Baker

Nobody can do what he does! You either a kid (new to hiphop, so u love these idiots today) or you just dont know how to hear rap, or you’re just simply a hater. Cause nobody can do what he does! He is a fucking genuis. He was in late 80s when MCing in clubs and making people scream WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT DAMN?!, in the 90’s and in the early 2000s. Nobody has a play on words like Em! Just fucking admit it, you’ll sound more grown up. ”my back’s against the wall

This guy is a homo. Maybe it has to do with the fact american women have stank blown out vaginas so they only good for ass sex and prostitution and I think that’s why there kids grow up to be gay and fat.
Look I speak for the whole homo community when I say we don’t want any body to claim this guy is a homo geez it makes us good ol’ fudge packers look bad. You could classify him is more of a pedophile that like little boys. His music is garbage so I’m not surprised he began touching little boys penises.
em needs to hook back up with dre and get on his shady cypher bars type of shit . leave the corny eminem home for rest of urr career
