Marshall Mathers (The Marshall Mathers LP)

Amazing song. I've always thought of this song as the diss song aimed at everybody.

Perfectly encapsulates who he was back then, and his whole "fuck the world" mentality.

The way he completely annihilates everybody on this song is unreal: groupies, dipshit underground fans who think he sold out; his sue-happy family who only bother to contact him when he's famous; his mother, her lawyer, Tupac/Biggie impersonators, shitty popstars, Vanilla Ice, ICP, XXL Magazine.

I read in his autobiography that he just decided to go all-out with the word "faggot" to really piss people off. I can definitely see that in this song. He uses it 6 times on this song alone.
