Eminem And Mariah Carey? Again?

This is so 1998, but Eminem is rapping about Mariah Carey again.

The song is called “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” and it’s awful. Not because of the explicit lyrics or the “been there, done that” Carey preoccupation, it’s just a sh*tty song.

Eminem trying to sound Scottish? Please.

Unfortunately, this waste of studio time’s immediate descent into cultural irrelevance was delayed for a few nanoseconds by Carey’s husband, who took to the Internets to, um, “defend” his bride.

From the blog of Nick Cannon (who?):

So as I further examine the track, I hear dude cross the line. He begins to call my wife out of her name! Now as y’all know, I don’t take that type of nonsense lightly. So on some grown man shit I’m instantly like, I got to get at this Lame. I know it’s only entertainment and I’m all for freedom of speech. But I’m from the school of thought where if you are tough enough to talk shit, you got to be tough enough to deal with the consequences that come with tough guy shit talking! Then the little angel on my shoulder said, “No Nicholas, there is no need to play into his negativity. He is just a troubled soul yearning for the lost spotlight. You must be Christ like and turn the other cheek”

But then the dude on the other shoulder said, ” What Nigga?! Is you scared?! You can’t let no man ever disrespect your wife! Especially not some Peroxide drenched homophobic has-been! This is like some Paquiao vs. Hatton shit! He is underestimating you with his ass out and you can drop him in the first round!”

Uhh … okay.

As much as we’d love to focus on Eminem’s hackneyed quest for attention or ponder how Cannon’s shoulder-to-shoulder play-by-play could result in an eventual “Christ-like” cheek-turning, we felt it was important to bring everybody back to what’s really important here …

In fact, the only thing(s) important here …

Again, it’s called main idea thinking.
