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 song, 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...
