Eminem -When I'm Gone

[Introduction]

Yeah…

It’s my life…

My own words I guess…

[Verse 1]

Have you ever loved someone so much, you’d give an arm for?

Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?

When they know they’re your heart

And you know you were their armour

And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm ‘her

But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?

And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?

What happens when you become the main source of her pain?

“Daddy look what I made”, Dad’s gotta go catch a plane

“Daddy where’s Mommy? I can’t find Mommy where is she?”

I don’t know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy’s busy

Daddy’s writing a song, this song ain’t gonna write itself

I’ll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself

Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her

And put hands on her mother, who’s a spitting image of her

That’s Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady’s crazy

Shady made me, but tonight Shady’s rocka-by-baby…

[Chorus]

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back…

[Verse 2]

I keep having this dream, I’m pushin’ Hailie on the swing

She keeps screaming, she don’t want me to sing

“You’re making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?”

Baby, Daddy ain’t leaving no more, “Daddy you’re lying

“You always say that, you always say this is the last time

“But you ain’t leaving no more, Daddy you’re mine”

She’s piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it

“Daddy please, Daddy don’t leave, Daddy – no stop it!”

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket

It’s got a picture, “this’ll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha’”

I look up, it’s just me standing in the mirror

These fuckin’ walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear ‘em

They’re saying “You’ve got one more chance to do right” – and it’s tonight

Now go out there and show that you love ‘em before it’s too late

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

It’s turns to a stage, they’re gone, and this spotlight is on

And I’m singing…

[Chorus]

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back…

[Verse 3]

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat

The curtain closes, they’re throwing roses at my feet

I take a bow and thank you all for coming out

They’re screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd

I glance down, I don’t believe what I’m seeing

“Daddy it’s me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,”

But baby we’re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?

“I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren’t leavin’

“You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad

“And I bought you this coin, it says ‘Number One Dad’

“That’s all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin

“I get the point – fine, me and Mommy are going”

But baby wait, “it’s too late Dad, you made the choice

“Now go out there and show ‘em that you love ‘em more than us”

That’s what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin’ your name

It’s no wonder you can’t go to sleep, just take another pill

Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real

I hear applause, all this time I couldn’t see

How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me

I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it

Put it to my brain and scream “god Shady” and pop it

The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes

That’s when I wake up, alarm clock’s ringin’, there’s birds singin’

It’s Spring and Hailie’s outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her

Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister

Almost as if to say..

[Chorus/Outro]

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back

And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling

And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain

Just smile back…

[Curtains closing and sounds of footsteps]

Eminem Gets Ex-Wife Kim Pregnant...Not Again!!!

Iconic rapper Eminem and Kim Mathers are the epitome of ghetto love.  If you have kept up with the relationship since 2000, you would realize that Kim was introduced to the world as his daughter’s mother whom Em hated and wanted dead.   Then, they engaged in a relationship again, broke up again in a messy split, reunited, married and divorced in a very public feud with vile exchanges of words.  Now, there is a report that the couple have renewed their relationship since last June and is expecting a baby boy this spring.

Those that fight together stay together.

Young Buck tries to bring Eminem into 50 Cent feud

For the first time since the beginning of their feud, both Young Buck and 50 Cent are firing shots at each other. Even other members of G-Unit have been taking shots at Young Buck. When the ball dropped and the New Year came in Buck began his active role in the feud once again. For the past month, Young Buck has been doing his part to take on 50 Cent.

In the past, 50 Cent has said that Young Buck should do something for himself in order to make himself relevant. Perhaps taking the advice of his primary rival, Young Buck has gone on tour and he decided to make a stop in Detroit. This city was instrumental in the early stages of 50 Cent’s career. Detroit is the home city of Eminem, who discovered 50 Cent.

During his performance, Young Buck addressed 50 Cent. He made it clear that he is no longer in the same crew with 50 Cent. Buck described himself as a “real Nigga” and he said that 50 is fake. The Nashville rapper acknowledged that he, along with some of the members in the audience were real. He would go on to describe his current contract with G-Unit Records.

Many people do feel that 50 Cent is wrong for forcing Young Buck to stay in his contract and not allowing him to release an album. Among those who think that he is wrong is Eminem, those were the words of Young Buck. He said that Eminem is starting to turn against 50 Cent. There have been rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud in the Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit camp dating back to 2005.

Whether any of this is true remains to be seen. Young Buck hopes to release his third album later this year.

ten opinions on th ' grammys.

10. Lady Gaga’s performance wasn’t impressive as when she killed herself on th ‘ MTV awards.

9. Pink’s performance and vocals were impressive but it kind of looked like she was cumming on th ‘ audience at th ‘ end.

8. Taylor Swift’s performance is always boring a basic. Blehh.

7. They were looking for Jay-Z’s reaction to T-Pain but didn’t get one because Hov is a G.

6. Drake was nominated for two grammy’s and performed on th ‘ grammy’s before releasing an album is impressive.

5. I wish Rihanna was actually talented and did something instead of standing there and looking pretty. She’s gorgeous though.

4. Beyonce’s performance was fireeee. She’s a true entertainer and her and Jay-Z make an amazing couple.

3. Th ‘ Michael tribute was a good performance but i don’t think it did justice to his memory.

2. Maxwell’s performance was one of my favorites. Pretty Wings always makes me feel emotional when i hear it and even more emotional when he performs it.

1. Eminem, Drake, Lil’ Wayne, Travis Barker and th ‘ Alchemist. Amazing ass performance. Eminem killed it as always and Travis Barker is a beast on th ‘ drums.

Th ‘ Grammy’s were alright this year. A few select performances were what made it good. They needed more drama though. Shouldve invited Kanye. Just saying.

Back 2 the Essence...

Yes!

Now this is what I’m talking about! Are you one of those music lovers who savors the process of buying a new cd and reading the credits/liner notes, while taking in the new sounds? This is an essential part of an album’s impression on the customer. Currently, with digital downloads, you get pictures and videos. Meh :-[

MusicDNA may be the answer…

With this new file format on the horizon, boasting up to 32gb of file space, you can get the whole kitchen sink with your download. This may save that sacred “ceremony” that most music enthusiast crave from the digital age.

Here is an excerpt from the BBC report:

” The new file, MusicDNA, can include things like lyrics, videos, artwork and blog posts, which will continually be updated, as well as the music.”

“It has been created by Norwegian developer Dagfinn Bach, who worked on the first MP3 player in 1993.

And its investors include German researcher Karlheinz Brandenburg, who is credited with inventing the MP3.”

Of course, the price and support from major lables may become an issue. We are watching closely.

Read the full report here.

His name was, It was...

I remember growing up and listening to all these raps but especially Eminem. I never really knew what it all ment but I still memorized all the raps and sang these songs like I was Mrs.Seuss[my rapper name when I was yay high]. Anyways, I love his lyrics even though sometimes its way too much. It’s still some real shhh.I especially remember last year when the boys and I were chillin after a party at Danny E’s house and for some reason we were really listening to this somg. I was rapping it like nothing and got embarrased when the boys were just looking at me spit thoes rhymes. Anyways heres a flashback.

LaDanian Tomlinson Electric Slide Rap Video???...San Diego Super Chargers Will Stomp Down The New York East Coast Jets!!!

This weekend the San Diego Super Chargers will put an end to all of this media hype and love fest that has fallen on the ridiculous New York Jets just for winning ONE playoff game?!?

Here at the Jerrrybrice’s Blog…we hate on the New York east coast Jets,and any other team that dares to step to us, and LOVE the San Diego Super Chargers!!!

It’s nothing personal, just sports business…and I am not above trash talking!

Now…I appreciate all of my east coast supporters,..believe that!!!…but this is about football, and basic loyalty to my home town, and my team that has been on this path, entertaining us fans, for more than 40 years!

That is not going to change, no matter what happens….but if the Chargers move to Los Angeles,…all bets are off!

This weekend the Chargers will destroy the hapless Jets…it is our destiny.

Bet the farm!!!..

In the meantime, enjoy LT’s unique rap video,…or at least have a few laughs.

If you agree, or disagree, leave a comment here, before the game!

Bitch, Pleeze!

Here is the link an interview that my sister sent today with that bitch person who “lived Oprah” for the year and then wrote a book about it. You need to watch it. It’s like 5 minutes of the worst TV I think I’ve ever seen.

Have you watched it yet? Yeah, now you know why I am understandably incensed about this on multiple levels.

A) That should have been my idea because I live Oprah anyway.

B) How dare she question Oprah’s taste in footwear?

C) If that bitch bought everything Oprah told her too, it would add up to a lot more than $4700.  So she cheated.

D) Oprah made her do good for others, like provide books to female felons and save a cat’s life – what’s not to love? What sort of ingrate bites the hand that feeds the world?

E) Finally, when has Oprah ever ruined any normal person’s marriage or sex life? Well….I take that back. Forget point E.

F) She said people view Oprah like their BFF in a way which suggested that somehow that was crazy.  I didn’t dedicate my life to making Oprah realize I’m her soul mate so this dumb broad could come along and ridicule me.  I swear if I ever see her on the street, I’m going to give her a really mean look. Like, seriously mean. And then I’ll report her whereabouts to Gayle, and you can bet Gayle will give her the beat down she deserves.

That is all I’m going to say about this topic, which has wounded my soul very deeply.  If she can’t see Oprah for the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent spiritual healer and teacher who wears really good shoes most days, then she clearly doesn’t understand her subject matter and should be revealed to the world as the charlatan she is. You know who she reminds me of? Debbie Mathers. Eminem’s mom. When she made up that song about him to get rich just because she was mad that he has spent most of his professional life telling stories about how she was the worst mother of all time. I just don’t like when other people try to get famous off the back of someone with the Awesome in them.

I just hope when Eminem isn’t on the phone getting drug counseling from Elton John, he’ll reach out to Oprah to provide some support.

And I would ask that my loyal readers, though none of you like Oprah, light up your cell phones, wave them slowly in the air and watch Eminem’s “Cleaning out my Closet” video I’ve provided access to here:

.

Now you have just a little taste of the rage I have and the angry poetry that I’m about to write about this woman and her dumb book and send to Oprah and her producers in a beautiful laminated album. If you have any worthy submissions, I will consider them, but they have to be really good. I mean, really Oprah-worthy.

Top 25 Songs of 2009: 21-25

25) “Two Weeks,” Grizzly Bear. Working since 2004 as something like indie rock choirboys, Grizzly Bear have with them now a song to make even Brian Wilson smile. Despite Veckatimest’s shortcomings (a tendency to bore), “Two Weeks” is tight, compact, and the best that GB has to offer. The stoned, peaceful cadence for the verse is in perfect counterbalance to the lofty, head-in-the-sky falsetto on the chorus. Throw in some staccato keyboards — a little distorted, not too clean (read: a pinch of lo-fi; even indie deities are not quite timeless) — and four-minutes later Grizzly Bear high-step their way from choirboys to altar-men, triumphantly carrying the song’s melodies to the front of the cathedral, already dripping with nostalgia, ready to be sacrificed to our fragmented memory of the 60s. Amen.

24) “Percussion Gun,” White Rabbits. Take the In Rainbows opener “15 Step,” and distill it from Thom Yorke’s New Years Resolution to stay focused (“How come I end up where I went wrong? / Won’t take my eyes off the ball again”), down to a plan for dealing with ex-lovers. Take the form too and extract the essence again. Make Greenwood’s delicate picking into aggressive guitar strokes, add some pounding, lower-end piano, replace too r.head’s helter-skelter beat with some toms that your drummer beats the shit out of. It might not be pretty, per se, but it’s still better than being Coldplay.

23) “All That We Can See,” Sholi. Davis, Calif. has never sounded so good. Or so dreamy. Keep chanting one-syllable words, Sholi, and we’ll keep listening. Dance for hours? We just might do that too.

22) “Crack a Bottle (feat. Dr. Dre & 50 Cent),” Eminem. Despite the most atrocious rap ever recorded by a platinum artist (ahem, we’ll just say he is two quarters short of a dollar), Eminem and Dr. Dre drop a rap song whose beat swings to and fro so hard listeners will literally smash their Olde E’s. The broken glass, you can’t blame them; it’s not intentional. It’s more like an earthquake shaking people back and forth. Result: fans smashing beers on the wall as they stumble down Dre’s hospital hall. Did I just rhyme? My bad, 50 Cent. I didn’t mean to show you up like that.

21) “Ecstasy,” jj. Okay, jj. We get it: Pulling the infectious sample from Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” was a brilliant maneuver. How you took Wayne’s radio ready hit and transformed it into a languid little ode to clubbing/drugs/raves. Yes, yes, we’re both ecstatic about it. I know, right? His song uses a children’s candy to talk about sex — oh you think he’s implying something about teenage girls, perhaps? Interesting. Interesting too that raves might be the last place where 28 year-old Target managers can find 16 year-old girls in lingerie to make-out with. What’s that you said? Ecstasy is the enabler, the new lollipop? Brilliant, just brilliant. Have I told you how much I love you? No, seriously. I love you so much, jj. So much. You’re the absolute best person I have ever met in my entire life. Don’t ever leave me. This isn’t the drugs talking. This is fucking real. Now hug me. Guess what drug I’m on?

NEW MUSIC 4 THE NEW YEAR...

NEW MUSIC 4 THE NEW YEAR!!!

If you haven’t already heard… My “supposed-to-have-already-been-released” album should have been out years ago but… to put it in two words… things happen. So the album was scheduled for online release on New Year’s Day 2010 but… once again… technical shit happened and… here we are… again… behind schedule. I won’t drag y’all through all the details of what went wrong but I will say that I did learn a lot from 2009 and I am just accepting this album being behind schedule as another life lesson. I didn’t want to leave y’all totally disappointed… So I released two singles…
