Enemies

 

      This rivalry is said to be longer than any of Eminem's other disputes.  It is said to have begun sometime during 1995.  Apparently, Marshall was handing out flyers to a party where he would be performing and on the flyers it mentioned that there might be an appearance by the Insane Clown Posse (ICP).  This is mentioned in ICP's latest diss to Eminem, Nothing But A Bitch Thang: "I remember yo ass at St. Andrews hall handing out yo flyers, 'come one come all come to my show'.  I looked at it WHAT right there, Insane Clown Posse might show up.  What the fuck kind of rapper could be that lame, only way you draw people is to use our name, I could have just fucked you up right there, but I let it pass, I felt bad for ya bitch ass."  One of the members of ICP saw this and told Em to Fuck Off.  This must have started the whole rivalry and since then both parties have exchanged disses back and forth in their songs.

        A little bagkground on the crew.  The Insane Clown Posse is made up of two members, Joseph Bruce aka Violent J and Joseph Ulster aka Shaggy 2 Dope.  This duo originated in South West Detroit.  It began as a gang called the "Inner City Posse" (ICP) and originated into a rap group called the "Insane Clown Posse."  They have released five albums to date and are in the process of finishing up their sixth.

        Since the little fight at St. Andrew's hall, many rumours have been going around.  Apparently, Eminem saw ICP at a club one night, and he and the D-12 (The Dirty Dozen) chased them out and then shot their van up with a paintball gun.  This is briefly mentioned in Nothing But A Bitch Thang, when ICP denies it: "you ain't never chased us out of no club bitch... only club you ever chased anybody out of was a gay bar bitch."

       After Eminem made this embarassing night public in his lyrics, ICP, with the help of Twiztid, released a remix of Eminem popular hit My Name Is, from the Slim Shady LP, called Slim Anus, over the radio during their interview with Howard Stern.Eminem was said to have cried over this, but we're sure that's just a rumour made up by some ICP "juggalo" (fan).    

 

One of the newest beefs that Eminem has dragged himself into involves former House Of Pain member Erik Schrody aka Whitey Ford.  He began as part of Ice T's L.A.-based Rhyme Syndicate Cartel, made 1990's Forever Everlasting album, then left to form House Of Pain with Danny O'Connor and Limp Bizkits Leor Dimant [DJ Lethal].  Five years later, Schrody releases Whitey Ford Sings The Blues under the name of Everlast.

       In one of Eminem's disses towards Everlast, Quitter he explains how the whole beef began. "...I'ma tell these motherfucking fans the truth, the reason why you dissed me first and I answered you.  You said I passed you in the lobby and I glanced at you like I ain't noticed you, bitch I had a show to do.  Like I'm supposed to be start struck, come over to you, you better shut your mouth while you 0 for 2...".  Whatever the reason was that kicked off this beef between the two artists, it sprung into several different songs.

       After Everlast was insulted by the disrespect Eminem presented towards him, he decided to lash out at him.  His first diss is found in the song Ear Drums Pop by Dilated Peoples feat. Everlast.  In one part of the son
g, Everlast mentions that "... I buck a three eighty on ones that act shady, You know you ain't the one that repped peckerwood status," adding, "let's take it back to the House/ Slide off your blouse/ Lift up your skirt/ And expose your panties/ For the world to see/ You can't rep it like me.".  Eminem was currently on the Anger Management Tour when he was notified of Everlasts' insult.  Obviously pissed off, Eminem decided to hit back at him with a song called I Remember which was released on the B-Side of D-12's Shit On You Single.  In this song Em hits far below the belt with comments on low-points in Everlast's career ["Back in '94/ Like right before Miss Everlast was Whitey Ford/ when House Of Pain was out of fame/ destined to never jump around again"], his age ["Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along/ Now nobody wants to hear your old ass sing no more"] and even his heart troubles ["I was right there laughing when I heard the news/ I just wish the cardiac would have murdered you"].  Em actually censored himself in one line, singing, "I wasn't trying to steal your light or nothin'/ But you're a homosexual white rappin' Irish..." offering a "beep" over what may have originally been a swipe at Everlast's conversion to Islam. In the song, Em seems to suggest that he was once a fan of Everlast, singing, "I went to get your s**t/ Man, I was into it/ But then you went and took your style and switched the s**t/ Now you sound ridiculous."

 

This rival goes more with "pop music" in general than little Christina Aguilera. Eminem referenced to Christina on "The Real Slim Shady" depicting her in explicit sexual detail. It all started when Aguilera had her "What A Girl Wants" special on MTV. She aired Em's "My Name Is" video, and while it was playing she but Em on "blast". Going on to air a rumor that Em was married to Kim, which was true, but still private information at the time. She even goes on to say speak about domestic violence, and tell girls to get out and avoid those types of relationships. Which may be good messages, but Em would have rather she didn't pick the video at all. So Eminem told some rumors he had heard about Christina Aguilera.

 

 

This feud is relatively fresh. Nelly started it when he appeared on MTV's "Total Request Live". He sent out a number of disses and seemingly violent comments towards Em, reiterating his dislike for the Detroit Playa. Nelly said that Eminem was talking about Nelly behind his back, or so he heard. He then proceeded to say that Shady better not go on tour in St. Louis, Nelly's hometown, because the St. Lunatics would would make short work of them. He even goes on to say, that he "eats m&ms". Eminem is yet to lash out. But is shouldn't be too long...
