Eminem Rap Sayings

#1. Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world ... Eminem. Rap's a black thing.

Chubby Checker

#2. I've listened to Eminem rap. That's not daily fare for me, but I can't help but admire how vivid what he does is. My own taste goes a little more toward Norah Jones.

Lesley Gore

#3. Lula had Eminem cranked up. He was rapping about trailer park girls and how they go round the outside, and I was wondering what the heck that meant. I'm a white girl from Trenton. I don't know these things. I need a rap
cheat sheet.

Janet Evanovich

#4. Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.

Eminem

#5. I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
A brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives,
Shittin' on rappers, causin' hospital accidents.

Eminem

#6. I don't give a fuck, God sent me to piss the world off.

Eminem

#7. There are many collaborations I'd like to explore. One is to co-write a rap concerto with Eminem.

Evelyn Glennie

#8. I'm into the lyrical side of rap. I listen to some old Eminem songs and think, 'Wow, he's a genius.' He's one of the greatest poets of our time. Even when he's out of control, like on 'Cold Wind Blows,' it's incredible.

Phoebe Tonkin

#9. Hip-hop is universal now, it's all commercial now.
It's like a circle full of circus clowns up in the circuit now.

Eminem

#10. My favorite song is Eminem's 'Rap God.' That joint is just incredible, It's six-and-a-half minutes of him just crushing the whole game. It's so different from what I hear if I listen to the radio.

Mekhi Phifer

#11. People who mock rap and say, "I don't like it" should go and check out Kanye [West] in the studio rapping, or Marshall, Eminem, when he's in the studio. It's a phenomenon. Don't knock it until you've seen it. It may not be your cup of tea, but don't ridicule it.

Elton John

#12. And to the rest of the world
God gave you shoes to fit you
So put 'em on and wear 'em
Be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny
Don't ever let anyone tell you you ain't beautiful

Eminem

#13. When Elton John sang a duet with the white rapper Eminem on a Grammy telecast, rap went mainstream. Massive parental headaches followed.

Bill O'Reilly

#14. I have a weird thing with giraffes, I don't like their neck

Eminem

#15. Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.

Willie Nelson

#16. Slim Shady: Hotter then a set of twin babies
In a Mercedes Benz, with the windows up
When the temp goes up to the mid 80's.

Eminem

#17. I am a huge Eminem fan and find it flattering that he would rap about me. Personally, I'm honored.

Kim Kardashian

#18. Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

Eminem

#19. Being a student of hip-hop in general, you take technical aspects from places. You may take a rhyme pattern or flow from Big Daddy Kane or Kool G Rap.

Eminem

#20. All I see is sissies in magazines smiling ...
Whatever happened to wildin' out and being violent?
Whatever happened to catching a good, old-fashioned, passionate ass whoopin'?
And getting your shoes, coat and your hat tooken?

Eminem

#21. But I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind

Eminem

#22. I have periods where I listen to regular rap, Jay-Z, Eminem and Lil Wayne. The next day I might have some Christian alternative music. The next day I have on some dance music. It all varies what I listen to.

Steve Blake

#23. Eminem found a legendary voucher in the form of Dr. Dre. He also perfected a unique performance style: as Sasha Frere-Jones wrote in "Haiku for Eminem" after the release of The Marshall Mathers LP, "The way you sound black/when you are conversating/but white when you rap.

Matthew Gasteier

#24. I like to quote Shakespeare. But in this case, the rapper Eminem said it best: Words are a motherfucker.

Jillian Keenan

#25. All my life I've been dealing with my race because of where I grew
up [Detroit] and being in the rap game. I'm at a boiling
point ... Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in
their face.

Eminem

#26. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

Eminem

#27. But, Eminem ... No, I've loved rap for a long time, especially when it got out of its first period and became this gangsta rap, ya know this heavy rap thing? That's when I started to fall in love with it. I loved the lyrics. I loved the beat.

Alan Vega

#28. Rap to me is a modern blues. But until we really confront the truth, we are going to have a Tupac or Eminem or Biggie Smalls to remind us about it - and thank God.

Stevie Wonder

#29. Be a king? Think not.
Why be a king when you can be a God?

Eminem

#30. I want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don't know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.

Eminem

#31. Now who is the king of these lewd, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics; who could inherit the title, to put the youth in hysterics; using his music as spirit

Eminem

#32. Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

Eminem

#33. You won't hear a character's friend say this in a romantic comedy. Taylor Swift won't sing this, Eminem won't rap it, and Suzanne Collins won't write it, but it's true: just because you're "in love" with someone doesn't mean you should seriously consider marrying them.

Gary L. Thomas

#34. They said I rap like a robot, so call me rapbot.

Eminem

#35. My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious.

Harrison Ford

#36. Rap will never be the same as before

Eminem

#37. Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see the president dead, it's never been said, but I said precedents.

Eminem

#38. They say that love is powerful as cough syrup and Styrofoam.
All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo
With the ugly Kardashian ...
Lamar, oh, sorry. Yo, we done both set the bar low.

Eminem

#39. When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap

Eminem

#40. Eminem has talent, and his talent is the thing that influences many young people who would have never gone anywhere near rap. White kids in different parts of the world use him as a barometer and the standard to live up to. In some ways, Eminem is an artist who has ushered in a new movement.

Chuck D

#41. Some of Eminem's rap songs kind of have the teenage love songs like the fifties love songs. It's kind of like domestic drama set to music. He is really good storyteller.

Bruce Dickinson

#42. Ain't nothin' but a whole lot of suckin' goin' on in rap.

Eminem

#43. Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

Eminem

#44. There are poor white people who hear rap music and feel it is about them, because it is. That's why you have an Eminem and a Bubba Sparxxx and rappers like that.

Russell Simmons

#45. See it's easy as cake, simple as whistling Dixie
While I'm waving the pistol at sixty Christians against me
Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics
In holy water, no wonder they tried to hold me under longer.

Eminem

#46. What if Eminem was black? would he have sold five mil.
Or would he be 1 out of 5 million rappers with no deal?

Fredro Starr

#47. You may be gone but you're never over.

Eminem

#48. Rap was my drug.
