Twitter wasn’t quite sure what to make of Eminem’s verse on Boogie’s “Rainy Days” cut. Taken from the Shady Records signee’s debut album, Everything’s For Sale, the track contains a questionable line from Em that has something to do with sheep and sexual intercourse.
“I left my legacy hurt? Fuckin’ absurd/Like a shepherd havin’ sex with his sheep, fuck what you heard/All this talk in my ear, I got a idea/Like the clerk when you tryna buy beer (ID ya),” he spits.
Fans flooded the social media platform to argue about Shady’s contribution. Some thought the entire verse was brilliant, while others believed it simply destroyed the song. There were also a few people just wondering what the hell that sheep line was all about.
Of course, Em has fired back at his detractors before. His pent up anger was essentially the crux of Kamikaze, so it won’t be surprising if Shady has something to say to those criticizing his work on this track.
Check out some of the reactions below.
Damn,em bars going over heads again,some people can’t decipher sh…,too bad for hip-hop
honestly its not going over anyones head.. were just tired of hearing em say stupic and corny bars.. so we dont replay it… we didnt miss shit we purpously arent breaking it down bec its WACK.. talk about fucking sheep. i get the bar but i mean its bars styled like that just ruin entire songs when em is on it.. if im an MC and i get an EM verse and i hear 1 corny bar im sending it back to him..idgaf if he is a goat contender
That’s why you ain’t an MC and Eminem isn’t send you a verse.
oh thats why i aint an MC huh loolll i can respect EM but to act like eminems sheep hearder bar is so complex thats why we dont like it is comical… honestly its just WACK.. but stans want to act like its something else all the time ‘oh u just dont understand it’ LOL
So I guess you can explain to us then; that line might not be your cup of tea, but the whole verse isn’t wack bro.
Shepherd,sheep,fk,with you ‘herd’ that’s a whole sick shepherd/sheep scheme,the bar is fire,damn…but yeah wud go over some dumb mumble raps only heads
You’re fucking delusional or a child, that Barr is basic as fuck on some preschool shit. If you think that’s dope Elzhi would melt your fucking brain.
I haven’t heard better. Don’t be a dumbass and say the same thing everybody else said. Preschool my ass. Bet your rhyme scheme are like rap, trap, hat, flap. Stfu nerd.
“I put skirt on microphone cause I kilt the song” Eminem fans: “OMG HE KILLLLED IT”
“I put skirt on microphone cause I kilt the song” eminem fans: “OMG GET IT? GET IT? HAHAHAHA HE KILT IT? HE A GENIUS
Ddksksksksksks
That wasnt even the full line he used a simile and a metaphor if you count the line before and if you evaluate the whole bar its actually smart asf no offense to the brain dead haters but if you like music at least read between the lines i know not many rappers have a between the lines nowadays but he does
Em’s whole wordplay is straight fire. These clowns can decipher real hip hop cuz they are to used to listening to trash like yachty and pump. Em has ALWAYS said something outlandish to catch your ear while delivering extensive bar happy rhymes. Yall act like you aint heard the guy before. He’s been spittin the same ish since ’97 bro. Hot damn.
Em has ALWAYS said something outlandish to catch your ear” — and THAT is the problem.. were tired of hearing it. kamikaze was a success bc he actually rapped shit. then he goes back to giving his guest wack shock value raps..someone in his corner needs to get him to understand its corny and fucking wack.
em didnt ruin the song but im DEAD SICK of his shock value raps.. its fucking annoying now. im just sick of hearing an EM verse expecting heat and his saying some weird shit..im just done w it.. stick to kamikaze style content and leave these shock value raps in the background..even em fans r getting sick of it
Speak for yourself. You’re not a voice for us all.
im not a voice at all im a commentor lol i know many em fans that are tired of it and i specifically put IM multiple times
“Fuck what you herd/heard”, is “shock rap”?? Lmao.. That’s a play on words, not shock rap by any means, ESPECIALLY for Em.. Now y’all just reaching for a reason not to like…….
How the fuck people still think this mediocre fucking kindergarten rapper is dope is crazy.
…. you’re an idiot. And you probably have man tits.
You’d like that don’t you? Man tits
You definitely didn’t make it past elementary school.
How the fuck do you think you are relevant? I gaurantee your favorite rapper wont diss Em because he knows its career suicide. You sound like a remedial ass hater or some generic ass liquor store on the corner “rapper” who cant even make one hit so like most retards you have to whine about a legend because you couldnt be at his level if you sold your soul foh
Hahaha you Stans are adorable Em isn’t even on the radar of doormat MCs you think Black Thought really considers Em on his level, and both Joe budden and Lupe Fiasco recently told Em if he dropped a disabled track at them they’d fucking body him.
Em has a career of ducking lyricist, he ducked K-Rino one of hip hop s elite lyricists, he ducked Canibus, Chino XL.
Dude is fucking mediocre and shook.
Lol… What an eggplant
Eminem looks like Ellen Degeneres.
Not even close. But nice try.
Funny i bet you would still suck his dick though..
UMMMM yeah that called simile and wordplay. what the issue here??
Everyone is so cute, these days. In this hypersensitive, social media age one horrible thing has happened: everyone has been given a platform, and it’s now fashionable to pile on. Eminem’s least impressive verses are light years better than anything else out right now. Like the New England Patriots playing in (and likely winning) another Super Bowl, the herd eventually turns on the ‘favorite’ or sustained excellence.
And, the backlash against a lot of this stuff is rooted in either illiteracy, or a loose grip on puns or double entendres.
Cuties. All of you that are digging your heels in. Drake and Lil (whoever the hell you wanna out here) is readily available for you.
One time when I was in middle school there was a new kid that came along that was a more talented artist than I was (drawing). I immediately discredited his work as basic, or any other complaint I could dream up. It was irrational, and I was jealous……..sound familiar?
idk why my comment went here should of went 2 the first commmentor
F all you haters. Get a boner and stroke it. He kilt it
“I put skirt on microphone cause I kilt the song” eminem
Fuck alll you haters. Get off ems dick. He can pretty much say wtf he wants of ya sick of it remix the shit on protools or get cool edit pro on fucking pirate bay for FREE and edit the shit out. Fucking losers.
nah were just hoping for a remix without eminem. but a serious rapper on there to ft the vibe..i never heard a legendary rapper ruin so many guest songs with his wack corny verses (yes we understand them, they are cringy and wack). he went and made a banger in kamikaze then went back to wack eminem. thats why his legacy is hurt. he caters to trailer park trash and white teens who want to kill themselves instead of hiphop fans
Boy you are so retarded its not even funny.. I bet you are one of those clown ass boys who only ever heard his tracks they play on the radio huh stupid ass boy you obviously cant catch the bars and dont understand how intelligent his wordplay and punch lines are. He doesnt cater to hip-hop? Really thats why most of the solidified goats and top emcees habe all said Em is a lyrical genius and is one of the best to ever do rap/hip-hop… I guess his numbers dont count for shit huh ?? or the fact he has freestyles that hit 11.4 syllables per second of coherent bars that tell a story and have crazy af wordplay.. In all honesty you’re sound like a 15yr old clown ass mumble rap fan that thinks hip-hop is only when they mumble about lean and bangin throw in some trap lyrics and talk about gold and bitches and BAM instant goat huh ??? foh dumb ass you sound like a cringy ass cry baby.
Word play, I don’t think he means a Shepard literally fucking his sheep, more of a leader fucking over his followers, then he says fuck what you herd, as in fuck you and your followers..
They can’t comprehend his intelligence Lol fuck em ?
Exactly bet you cant comprehend bars from any hip-hop legend huh stupid ass foh “fuck em” ??? real intelligent response care to elaborate or are you like most people that “hate” Em, you just hate because you are to remedial to coprehend real bars and punchlines so you bandwagon with the other stupid whiny ass clowns that cant catch his bars… I bet you are a dumb ass mumble rap fan too they cant stand Em either because hes almost 50 and still able to out sale these other “rappers” by millions ?? yall kep hatin because all you retards are doin is keepin him going. Im sure he will quit when he feels like all you triggered ass dumb fucks arent offended anymore by superior bars.
“I eat you rappers, and you still ain’t shit”
See I can write like that too. No still WACK
I love that you explained the shepherd and sheep allusion to the simpletons.
I was about to say the same exact thing!
Get over you’re self it’s a verse stop hating
Fans aren’t conflicted it’s haters and Em could still give a f#ck less! It’s laughable, people have to pick something so small because Shady came back and destroyed the industry and no surprise! So there is no other good music to write about. He said it best “his biggest flop will be their greatest hits” LMAO
If you rely on Twitter for info then you will find Twitter is always conflicted in every subject in the world
Y’all are retarded, people love to say Em is trash yet never are able to compare him to anyone… Name an MC and Eminem could eat them alive with no issue. Its this new generation of sissy shit that’s gettin y’alls panties into bunches with every line.
Jay, Kendrick, MGK lol, I would even take soulja boy if the battle platform was interviews lol.
Elzhi, Royce, Crooked I, Black Thought, Reks, Skyzoo, Lupe Fiasco, Greydon Square, K-Rino, Redman, LL Cool J, Jay Z, Joel Ortiz, Method Man, Papoose, Torae, Pharaohe Monch, the list is endless…
Funny how eminem already smoked half of those rappers on songs he did with them, fucking dumbass argument you guys have, first the idiot that said “name one emcee” like as if anybody couldn’t just list rappers of the top of their minds, and then the other guy just listing his favorite rappers smh idiots, and the author of this dumbass article always trying to stir up eminem hate, its always the same author on this site with the same bs, “hey look twitter is conflicted on their opinions”
Be fucking quiet Em hasn’t marked a single one of the people I just named on any songs, you’re full of shit.
Who the fuck is cassidy and what’s funny is that you actually assuming people’s ethnicity based on comments you fucking idiot, shows how stupid you are and then the fact that all you took out of it is animal sex bs shows how far over your head it all went, what a fucking dumbass
only Red, Royce, Black, and Pharoah in that list stand next to Em. shoot your self in the face for even bring up Sky, Reks, and Torae. Im a huge Sky fan (since his collab with 9th) but he is in no fucking way a top tier rapper, and both Reks and Torae are below Sky in any form or ability.
It’s year 1999 and there is this rapper called Eminem who steps up to the mic and spits some crazy, pretty disturbing stuffs. Its his art telling what he wants. Outrageous! Parents don’t want their kids to listen to him.
As Nostradamus I can tell you, in the next 20 years he is going to do the same, butthurt a big bunch of people.
But my biggest and most unbelievable predict that in year 2019 people still going to be shocked about it. Unbelievable!
No ones shocked. Hes just bad and embarrassing now
No he is not. Just because you don’t understand what the lyrics mean doesn’t make Em a bad person. He is brilliant and has been making money off people like you who talk about him even if you don’t like him. You need a better education or world view or something.
“my pen expells feces when I write shit” That’s Eminem right there
Em merked that shit.. No if, ands…. That sheep line was flames..
#FACTS
straight basura
Didn’t like his verse at all, but loved the fact it brought so many new listeners to boogie.
The shepherd having sex with a sheep line is referring to R. Kelly because he left his legacy hurt by having sex with his fans …y’all dosing off wake the f*** up.
That’s a reach.
Em’s verse was dope as f.
It saved the track, oogie should’ve went harder or at least made a 3rd verse.
The line is about Ems legacy was hurt after revival..
That’s absurd, just as absurd as a Shepard having sex with his sheeps, so f what you heard(Don’t believe what the social media is telling you about em’s legacy).
That bar is the dopest on the album imo.
Boogie is f’ing awesome and I love the album and em’s verse just made the whole project a little doper.
The end of his verse he’s just hyping up Boogies hook.
You must have thought it was white boy day
..It ain’t whiteboy day is it?
Em killed that shit, now I wanna see royce, Crooked and yela jump on the track on a Remix
Its just a punch line. Like a shepherd fuckin his sheep. Fuck what u heard(as in herd of sheep).
“my pen expells feces when I write shit”
That’s Eminem write there
That’s a very clever line from em that’s like a triple entendre, lemme break it down those who don’t get it. The simple fact that it connects with the first line everybody sayn hes fucked up his legacy with d new ish, its fucking absurd like a shepherd havn sex with his sheep. The fuck what you heard wen u say it sounds like fuck withcha herd that’s a homonym. Did d same thing in d following two bars. Em brings a technicality into rap that can be rivaled by few crooked does that too. Its jstbthe clever way they put words together that when u sit down and listen DEEP u tend to appreciate d mind of d person with the pen simply genius. Wordplay, metaphors similes all check
Huh? Speak English!
why do stans feel theyre smarter than everyone.. WE UNDERSTAND THE BAR ITS JUST WACK THATS ALL.. it sounds corny, delivered corny and just IS corny
Honestly who gives a fuck what the guy say. Everyone can just keep haten. Talking mad shit. But no one is mameing money of this rap shit but him stop being a bunch of hateing pussys and grow a pair which most of America doesn’t have.
People hate just to hate. Makes me sick. Sometimes Eminem does try to fit too much in a verse or a line, but this isn’t the case. If you don’t relate the sheep fucking portion of it to the line about his legacy, you’re a moron. If you do and still don’t like it, go listen to migos.
I think I’ll listen to a real lyricist like Black Thought, Lloyd Banks, or Lupe Fiasco thanks my man
Are the people sayin shit actually fans though? I hate the headlines for articles nowadays so much.
Okay, I clearly get his spit, so what the media is insinuating is NOT THE MESSAGE DUMMIES,
You’re right. Corny puns are perfect for dad-age rappers like Eminem.
“You heard of dracula’s sidekick?”
“He was DoWn FoR tHe CoUnT”
???????????
It stupid as fuck that they use random people twitter post as “news”. Those people probably only listen to rap music in the club and aren’t real rap/hiphop heads.
It’s wack as fuck you have to say the same shit on every article. Get a life. Jesus Christ. Do something with yourself.
Most people probably stick to the radio hip-hop and have only been listening to rap for the past few years. Eminem made his legacy by spitting far more crazyer versus then that, just listen to his first album the slim shady LP tnat i might ad went triple platinum. And which rapper today has made more money then EM in their career? Now we’re dissecting his lyrics after 20 years? Give me a break Eminem is one of the gratest rappers of all time hands down. Stick to your watered down R&B and you won’t be shocked by three lines in a rap song.
Yea exactly and its always the same author, yes Twitter is and always will be conflicted, it is stupid to use twitter as your source
On the shepperd sheep Eminem means that Marshall is so obsessed with his last and the legacy he has left and that he talks about it so much that he’s like a shepperd having ssex with his sheep. Because shepperd raises and takes care of the sheep but he must love it(sheep) so much to be willing to have s** with it. The song’s so good!
What are you waiting for? Go fuck a sheep!
A shepherds legacy is a sheep, eminem is fucking his legacy up like a shepherd who fucks his sheep, its a metafor, only needs half a brain.
um no… a shepard herds sheep… so if he fucks one… hes fucking what he herds… smh
No way, that would be absurd..
Still corny as shit…
Dad jokes everybody
His fans love it! I honestly dont get how anyone who isnt a fan can be shocked by that punchline. Most of these lames who are talking shit arent really em fans tbh.
BTW, that “The Doc/dock is my peer/pier” line was FIRE!!!
“I’m not dracula sidekick but I’m down for the count”
?
“put a dick in ya ear, and fuck what you heard” – Fabolous
yea he bit that from Rakim who said the exact same line on a song with Canibus…
I’ll Buss’em U Punish’em. Legendary classic song with Canicus and the God Rakim Allah trading verses. Scriptures these young cats need to study.
Em did kill that verse…
it’s actually a dope line, but that beer id line is awful. that should be the real debate.
stans of eminem love to create fucking explanations for his trash lyrics, eminem whole carrer is full of shock value stupid rhymes like this, eminem is plain boring and overrated as fuck
Eminem’s lyrics are nuts, and yeah some take intelligence to understand so I see where you have a problem. People decipher Eminem’s lyrics because back when he started rap was actually good, most rappers had deeper meanings in their raps (For Example, Tupac) and lyrics and flow is what rap is about. But sapdy alot of people like you are naive and don’t understand anything remotely complicated, the sheep lyrics are different to decipher but most of his lyrics aren’t.
this motherfucker might write but all of his fucking songs sound like amateur thrash cause he aint able to own a beat he just sings on a side of the beat
People hear music all the time but the issue is people don’t listen to the music, big difference between the two. That’s how you know who’s heart is into music or not. Everyone can memorize words but not everyone knows the words.
Eminem has always been a pretty terrible lyricist, this is hardly surprising.
I hope you’re joking because Eminem is the best lyricist ever. That’s why he blew up, that’s why he has so many more sales then any other hip hop artist out there. Eminem’s lyrics are insane, if you he’s a terrible lyricist then you know nothing about him.
Naw, not really fam. He’s a technically skilled rapper but has nothing to say as a lyricist. And if sales equal talent in your mind then you must think very highly of a whole gang of bullshit. Go back to your Migos, kid.
Wow wtf kind of dumb shit is that, technically skilled rapper but nothing to say as a lyricist? So rappers are only good when they’re telling a story? You sound ridiculous and then to further demonstrate your ignorance you seem to think that eminem fans are kids that like migos, eminem has been around since the 90s and the majority of his fans are grown adults so you sound very stupid
I swear some of y’all just got off the short bus. This dude above said Em was a great lyricist because he blew up and sold more records than anybody. If that’s his criteria then today he should be listening to Migos. And when did I equate good lyricism with storytelling? Furthermore, Em does have storytelling songs and they’re wack. Next time ask your mom to help you write your comment, provided she isn’t getting spit roasted by your uncles.
Na the problem is you don’t have good comprehension skills, the guy didn’t say eminem was a great lyricist because of his record sales its just a seperate fact to point out, if you go back and read it again (which you should a few times considering how slow your dumbass is, guess you should’ve been in that short bus) he said he blew up because he’s a great lyricist which is a fact if you do just a little research instead of talking out your ass you’d find out that he was a reputable decorated battle rapper before the deal, and so eventually that led to his great sales so try to read and understand better, and when you said your ridiculous “hes a technically skilled rapper but has nothing to say as a lyricist” bs is when i questioned whether you meant storytelling cause what the fuck else does that mean, that sounds like a line from a hater who’s trying to be a critic so bad or just somebody trolling, you don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about, oh and i got all the help i needed from your mom blowing me while i wrote these
A “reputable decorated battle rapper” LOLOLOLOLOL And yes, I know you don’t know what good lyricism means, that’s pretty obvious. Have a great day though!
Lol nadja prolly thinks Lebron is a terrible basketball player to lmao
Wow wtf kind of dumb shit is that, technically skilled rapper but nothing to say as a lyricist? So rappers are only good when they’re telling a story? You sound ridiculous and then to further demonstrate your ignorance you seem to think that eminem fans are kids that like migos, eminem has been around since the 90s and the majority of his fans are grown adults so you sound very stupid.
Eminem’s lyrics are weak, kid. Get over it.
‘Eminem is the best lyricist ever” BWAHAHAHAHAHA
The track is super dope!
-stan
Dang, people are still on Em’s dick huh
