As The World Turns (The Slim Shady LP)

Another great Eminem track.

Like My Fault, this is a story track.

The first verse is the story of Eminem killing his guinea pig, seeing counsellors, and then, at school, picking on a fat girl in gym. She gets angry and puts him in a headlock, people cheer...but Eminem grabs her by the hair and takes her up to the highest diving board and chucks her off.

Just an amusing little story. Here are a few examples of SSLP-Eminem's meticulous linking:

"She was too fat to swim laps, she needed Slim Fast", "Yeah bitch you so big you stepped on Jenny Craig," "She picked me up to snap me like a skinny twig"

"I murdered my guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave", "Put my in a headlock, then I thought of my guinea pig"

"Only class he'll ever pass is phys ed", "Maybe true, til I told this bitch in gym class", "Sorry coach, it's too late to tell me stop"

"She was too fat to swim laps", "Took her up to the highest diving board", "Drop this bitch face-first and watch her belly flop"

But we aren't even at the brilliant part of the song yet (the 2nd verse). The second verse is the story of Eminem meeting a fat girl at the laundromat. He tries to rob her, but she gets away, so he chases her home and basically rapes her to death with his Go-Go gadget dick.

Here are a few examples of the brilliant linking in THIS verse:

"Hypochondriac, hanging out by the laundromat", "Hit me with a basket of laundry", "Slid across the floor and flew right into a washing machine"

"Saw the house she ran up in and shot her fucking porch up", "Kicked the door down", "see the bedroom door shut"

"Where all the raunchy, fat", "You know you're stinkin' ass is too fat to try to outrun me", "she swallowed my fucking leg whole like an egg roll", "Stuffed that shit in crooked and fucked that fat slut to death"

"Spread across the bed, naked, watching gay porn", "Sliced off her right nipple", "Fucked that fat slut to death"

"Twisted my ankle and sprained it", "With one leg left..."

"Plus I'm a rapist", "All I wanted to do was rape the bitch"

"So give me all your money", "All I wanted to do was rape the bitch and snatch her purse"

"Where all the raunchy, fat, white trashy blondes be at", "Still trying to nail a trailer park bitch"

Add to this the amazing rhyme scheme and you have a classic Eminem song.
