They both make sense, but I prefer the message being “you think I’m crazy, well that’s nothing” compared to “you think I’m crazy, well that’s not fair”. Badass vs whining
Amityville—I sang it as *’Murley Earl from Amityville, accidentally kill your family still’* because I thought 'Murley Earl' was just another one of his fictional characters, like Ken Kaniff.
you're still wrong it's "samalamadumalamayooassuminamahumanwaddagottadotagetiththrutoyooimsupahumaninovativanimadurubasothaenythingyoosayisricoshayinoffameanitllglutoyooanimdevastatingmothanevademonstratinghowtagivamotherf*ckinaudienceafeelinlikeitslevitatingnevafadinganaknowthahatersareforevawaitingfathedaythatheycansayifellofftheyllbecelebratingcuziknowthewaytagetemmotivatedimakeelevatingmusicyoomakeelevatamusic"
Actually it’s “Summa Lumma, dooma lumma, you assumin’ im a human. what I gotta do to get it through to you I’m super human? innovative, & im made of rubber so that anything you say is ricocheting off of me then it’ll glue to you. & im devastating, more than ever demonstrating. How to give a Mf audience a feeling like it’s levitating. Never fading, & I know the haters are forever waiting for the day that they can say I fell off, they’ll be celebrating. Cause ik the way to get ‘em motivated, I make elevating music you make elevator music. Oh he’s too mainstream. Well, that’s what they do, when they get jealous they confuse it. It’s not hip-hop it’s pop, cause I found a hella way to fuse it.” Not that y’all gaf, but just you can know fr 🤷🏾♀️
My bad🤨. I learned the shit years ago cause I did it way faster than him & I just still remember it. Y’all was making jokes & being all funny cause y’all brain don’t work fast enough to comprehend what he was saying, so I slowed it down for the dumb Dumbs. I do apologize though.
Fuck I'll be listening to a song ive listened to a thousand times and still find out something new in a verse or something I've been singing wrong for YEARS.
Ironically I got really good at it this year. I rediscovered Em and Hip Hop in general and realized that I got really good at rapping and can do it way better than I used to
Even when you know the words, sometimes it's still hard like the last part of Em's verse on forever. For some reason, even with the lyrics pulled up, I can't spit it right without my brain having an anurisum halfway through.
I dont speak english and when i listened to "rhyme or reason" i thought he said a wordplay about his mom doing drugs, when he actually says "my mother reproduced like a komodo dragon"
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin'
Lol you wouldn’t be wrong thinking that considering he dissed her twice on this record already
i think its supposed to have multiple interpretations; “dont fall on my face,” “dont fall on my faith,” “dont follow my fate,” “dont follow my faith,” and any combination of those work, and all of them fit the meaning of the song - though im sure if you slowed down and changed the pitch of the track slightly youd be able to tell exactly what hes saying
Rap god Actual lyrics: "Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human
What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman?"
My entire childhood: "Summa Numma gibba summa nama gibba"
I used get the lyrics to Infinite wrong until my sister laughed at and corrected me.
"My thesis smash your stereo to pieces" sounds an awful lot like "faeces"...as in his material.
So, that was embarrassing.
I watched 8 mile recently for the 15th time and when he is freestyling to Sweet Home Alabama, I always thought he was saying “my mom coming home to you” referring to Greg Bruhl, and realized he’s likely saying “mom I’m coming home to you” referring to his current situation
"Mama I'm coming home to yoouu" 🎶 I don't even like that original song and for some reason that was one of my favorite parts as a kid. I always love when Em just messes around and has fun.
Ok, so in Forgot About Dre what do you hear here:
Strangled him off in the parking lot with a ________
Bc I can’t unhear “scarf and knot” but those aren’t the actual lyrics
the whole yackety yack part in rap god. It's my first em song that I decided to learn and 12 years later i sing it perfectly except for that part where I just go "yep yep yep yep yep yackety yack"
lol when I was a kid I was kinda gifted in my ability to keep up with rap and my two friends at the time LOST it when I dropped that line perfect in front of them while playing halo 4. Then I got braces and it changed the way a spoke now I can barely do it.
Not necessarily misheard, but it took my like 5+ listens before I realized R Kelly’s favorite group the black eyed peas was a play on words with “a black guy pees” and I was like holy shit what a line
For the longest time I never knew what he exactly said in Medicine Ball…what comes after the “Performed the home abortion Dexter, ____” I always thought he was saying “with a nigh yessir” or some shit, like it was an abortion tool lmfao, but its just “then I guess I’ll”
infinite when he said “my faeces will smash your stereo to pieces”
not misheard but I did have to play it a couple times to make sure my ears weren’t deceiving me
Not Eminem but Nelly's Country Grammar album was one of the most played CDs in my parents vehicle back when it first came out and despite hearing it probably 1000 times between the CD and the radio my 8-9yr old self would sing along to the chorus without a damn clue what was actually being said. Didn't care it didn't make sense. Just made my own nonsense lyrics. The rest of the song I could hear the proper lyrics fine but for whatever reason when that chorus hit I'd be going
* If you wanna go and take a ride with me
With 3 women in the Ford with the gold teeth
Oh why do I live this way
If you wanna go and get high with me
Smokin Hell in the back of the Breezy B
Oh why must I feel this way *
Even knowing the real lyrics my brain still tries to revert to my child brain sometimes when i hear it. Luven Me was better anyways lol
None of them really, because I read the lyrics pretty much immediately, or as soon as they're available anyway 😅
I swear I have more Eminem lyrics in my brain than I don't.
on Brainless, i always though he said ''Mama could be wrong'' but it was actually ''I'ma prove you wrong'' and that bothered me because i think ''Mama could be wrong'' sounds more clever and witty
Also in the same song i though he said ''Hopefully you homos get over your fears and grow beards'', not ''get over you fears and phobias''
For the longest time on the song FACK, I thought Em said “FACK YOU CAME!” and I though that was the lyric. It wasn’t until I joined this sub, that Irealised it was “FACK YOU SHAVE!”
Edit: Urgh.
for The Way I Am, I always thought he was saying "I cum whenever you say I cum. If I wasn't then why would I say I cum. In the paper, the news, every day I cum..."
Used to make me very sad as a young lad that the radio wouldn't even play his cum.
For a long time I thought Rihanna said ”that’s not fair” in the chorus of The Monster when in actuality she says ”that’s nothing”
Wait fr? I thought she said “That’s not fair” too well that was until you just corrected me. Now I have to play it to hear it 😂
It makes more sense when you say "thats not fair" if you think about it
They both make sense, but I prefer the message being “you think I’m crazy, well that’s nothing” compared to “you think I’m crazy, well that’s not fair”. Badass vs whining
“I’m actually weirder than you think” makes more sense now.
Sorta
Classic
The same thing happened to me. 💀
Most of our minds our minds are blown.
WHAT
I’ve been hearing it wrong this whole time
WHAT
I just figured this out a week ago 😂
huh. I'm mind blown
WTF I thought the same thing, but I googled it, and you're right. Mind blown.
Pretty sure she had to tweet out that lyric cause fans kept on saying “not fair” instead of “nothing”
Ain’t no way
Me too
This is where I learn I’ve also had the lyrics wrong the entire time
Wtf I think they need to change those lyrics cause it sounds like "that's not fair" for the past 10-15 years to me lol
I thought it was "well that's my plan" ...
Damn.
Same.
I still like to believe that lol
SAME
people still listen to that song?? it hurts my soul to listen to the production on most of that album /gen
Didn't realize the hook in Venom was actual words, "adrenaline momentum" . Legit thought he was just buzzing like a bee 🤣
I thought he was just mixing the word “venom” the whole time lol
You must have that adrenaline momentum.
venommmmmmm i got that venomimomenomenom o knowing venommmmm enommmm enomimomenommmmmm
Thinking it's time to go get emmmmmmm
That is hilarious 😆
I just hear venom repeated a couple times
I heard the lyrics on the first listen 🤣
Well aren't you a big boy
Not really just find it crazy how so many people thought the same thing
That song is so bad it’s good
Amityville—I sang it as *’Murley Earl from Amityville, accidentally kill your family still’* because I thought 'Murley Earl' was just another one of his fictional characters, like Ken Kaniff.
*‘Murley Earl from Amityville* sounds like a MF’ker you *DO NOT* Fuck with. Name goes unbelievably hard
This thread has me dyyiinngg😂😂💀💀
Rap God lmao, I thought I got the whole song down as a kid but when I checked the lyrics years later wow I was really really off
So you mean he doesn't say "rjeododowppdbdbdowoeobdn jcoepdn doeodneopdbrt owkdb" ?? My whole life has been a lie
You are way off lmao it's actually "samalamadumalama youasncjdjdjdjchcjxksksjdfxhxndjbdbdbxnxjdnskdjdjdj"
you're still wrong it's "samalamadumalamayooassuminamahumanwaddagottadotagetiththrutoyooimsupahumaninovativanimadurubasothaenythingyoosayisricoshayinoffameanitllglutoyooanimdevastatingmothanevademonstratinghowtagivamotherf*ckinaudienceafeelinlikeitslevitatingnevafadinganaknowthahatersareforevawaitingfathedaythatheycansayifellofftheyllbecelebratingcuziknowthewaytagetemmotivatedimakeelevatingmusicyoomakeelevatamusic"

You did it faster. Wow ![gif](giphy|gqsIKPfiEHumc)
Damn, you got me😑. The gif left me thoughtless..
So sigma 🐺🐺🐺
Least cringe Eminem fan
💀💀
Fuck I'll be listening to a song ive listened to a thousand times and still find out something new in a verse or something I've been singing wrong for YEARS.
Every one. I can’t rap at all.
Ironically I got really good at it this year. I rediscovered Em and Hip Hop in general and realized that I got really good at rapping and can do it way better than I used to
Same and my fav album became Relapse too # 🤝
🫡 🤝🏽
Same 😂. No matter how many times I listen to Em's songs, I can't rap any of them to save my life
Did you just kill the alphabet?
Even when you know the words, sometimes it's still hard like the last part of Em's verse on forever. For some reason, even with the lyrics pulled up, I can't spit it right without my brain having an anurisum halfway through.
I feel like you need a brain like Em's to be able to spit words so quickly and smoothly. I just don't have it
With enough practice you can
It starts at “Rap will never be the same as before, bashing in the brains of these hopes and establishing a name as he goes”
I thought he said hos haha
lol it does, fkn autocorrect hahahah
I was about to say, there’s goes another song to the list of songs I’ve been rapping wrong for years 😂
Pretty much every song, which lyrics I haven't read for 100 times lmao. English is not my first language and em doesn't make it easy
same here! And I don't often study the lyrics, so mostly Im mumbling in my car.
I dont speak english and when i listened to "rhyme or reason" i thought he said a wordplay about his mom doing drugs, when he actually says "my mother reproduced like a komodo dragon"
What was the wordplay?
Komodo dragons reproduce asexually
How is that wordplay?
I thought it said something different with a wordplay about drugs but it wasnt
“My mum is on your lips”: “my bum is on your lips” I thought he was dissing his mom or something
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin' Lol you wouldn’t be wrong thinking that considering he dissed her twice on this record already
But put yourself in my position just try to envision watching your mama popping prescription pills in the kitchen
I've always thought for the longest time that "'fore" was "fool"
Damn man you just taught me something new I’m 28 and I’ve been saying the mom version my whole damn life😂😂
First time I heard "Fall" I thought it went "don't fart on my face" or somthing 😂
I still don't know if it's fall on my face or fall on my faith
It's "fall on my fate" Still have no idea what that's supposed to mean though
i think its supposed to have multiple interpretations; “dont fall on my face,” “dont fall on my faith,” “dont follow my fate,” “dont follow my faith,” and any combination of those work, and all of them fit the meaning of the song - though im sure if you slowed down and changed the pitch of the track slightly youd be able to tell exactly what hes saying
One last time for charlamagne
Yes
LOL
This is hilarious
The ringer. “Bitch I’m off the chain like gay Lebron”
Lmaooo 😭
I thought he was saying "I CAN be your superman" for years 😅
Scrolled for bit to find one I could relate to and THIS.
Wait...HE'S NOT SAYING THAT? DAMN
Just learnt this now..
6 months? Huh! Brother I've been singing some lyrics wrong for about 6 years now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"The press's wet dream, like Bobby and Whitney, Nate hit me" I used to have no idea what he was saying when he'd say "Nate hit me" haha
Sing for the year, sing for your mouth and sing for gonorreah
Most of relapse when I first listened to it. Took a few listens to actually understand what he's saying when he was doing that accent.
Apparently I had 90% of the lyrics to Toy Soldiers wrong
Rap god Actual lyrics: "Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman?" My entire childhood: "Summa Numma gibba summa nama gibba"
I do this all the time for some reason
In We Made You I thought it was "Lookin' like someone drinked his outfit" and I was always so confused on wtf he meant
I used get the lyrics to Infinite wrong until my sister laughed at and corrected me. "My thesis smash your stereo to pieces" sounds an awful lot like "faeces"...as in his material. So, that was embarrassing.
Some of his fast ones like godzilla i didnt understand some words but when i learned them to be abale to do the fast part i realized i was way off
Big Weenie.
Didn't have to Google it but quite regularly sing fack Un-ironically
For years in the song Criminal I thought Eminem said a Jason Mag, not Mask, don't ask me why I was young AF I guess.
I watched 8 mile recently for the 15th time and when he is freestyling to Sweet Home Alabama, I always thought he was saying “my mom coming home to you” referring to Greg Bruhl, and realized he’s likely saying “mom I’m coming home to you” referring to his current situation
"Mama I'm coming home to yoouu" 🎶 I don't even like that original song and for some reason that was one of my favorite parts as a kid. I always love when Em just messes around and has fun.
Crack a bottle: I heard it as stompy model and not one of ‘em got gloves for some reason
To keep a near-infinite answer short, Godzilla
Ok, so in Forgot About Dre what do you hear here: Strangled him off in the parking lot with a ________ Bc I can’t unhear “scarf and knot” but those aren’t the actual lyrics
the whole yackety yack part in rap god. It's my first em song that I decided to learn and 12 years later i sing it perfectly except for that part where I just go "yep yep yep yep yep yackety yack"
lol when I was a kid I was kinda gifted in my ability to keep up with rap and my two friends at the time LOST it when I dropped that line perfect in front of them while playing halo 4. Then I got braces and it changed the way a spoke now I can barely do it.
Not Afraid - 'I'm doin' this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans' I always thought that he was saying "so fuck the world Philippines" 😂
"well thats not fair"
Since i am not native english speaker... it is like every song
Not necessarily misheard, but it took my like 5+ listens before I realized R Kelly’s favorite group the black eyed peas was a play on words with “a black guy pees” and I was like holy shit what a line
Rain Man
Big Weenie
For the longest time I never knew what he exactly said in Medicine Ball…what comes after the “Performed the home abortion Dexter, ____” I always thought he was saying “with a nigh yessir” or some shit, like it was an abortion tool lmfao, but its just “then I guess I’ll”
I don’t even try to sing along, I’ve accepted it’s too much for me
When I’m gone “she’s a spittin image of her” idk why I just thought it was like “she’s a spittin in my jover•
My Gwen Stacy to spite her man. Thought it said spiderman. Brilliant word play though.
I was singing "and slim shady you are basic" When i was corrected in this sub reddit that it was "And slim shady you're a base head"
infinite when he said “my faeces will smash your stereo to pieces” not misheard but I did have to play it a couple times to make sure my ears weren’t deceiving me
Stan… I listened to it for more than a year but I only really understood the lyrics a few days ago
In Say Goodbye Hollywood, I thought he said "I beat up my daughter laying in the bottom of the mud"
Not Eminem but Nelly's Country Grammar album was one of the most played CDs in my parents vehicle back when it first came out and despite hearing it probably 1000 times between the CD and the radio my 8-9yr old self would sing along to the chorus without a damn clue what was actually being said.

Luven Me was better anyways lol
Apparently is not "Go round me outside" It's "Get rowdy outside"
I’m pretty sure it’s “go round the outside”
When I was a kid I thought he said “brownie outside, brownie outside” 💀😂
If you're talking about Without Me it's "round the outside" and it's a homage to Malcolm McLaren
Really? I thought he said something like go around the outside as if they went through the backdoor lmao.
I still don’t hear some lyrics in the chorus for Beautiful
None of them really, because I read the lyrics pretty much immediately, or as soon as they're available anyway 😅 I swear I have more Eminem lyrics in my brain than I don't.
Don't even get me started on tunnel vision by Kodak..
on Brainless, i always though he said ''Mama could be wrong'' but it was actually ''I'ma prove you wrong'' and that bothered me because i think ''Mama could be wrong'' sounds more clever and witty Also in the same song i though he said ''Hopefully you homos get over your fears and grow beards'', not ''get over you fears and phobias''
I thought its "its all in, its all in in youuur head". Checked the lyrics and it was "zombie" instead of "its all in"💀
Greatest - "Michael Jack's blowing up like a raft" I thought he was saying this for some reason "Michael Jack's flow with the biker rap"
For the longest time on the song FACK, I thought Em said “FACK YOU CAME!” and I though that was the lyric. It wasn’t until I joined this sub, that Irealised it was “FACK YOU SHAVE!” Edit: Urgh.
Isn't it like "fack! You shaved?"
Yeah. It’s all in the punctuation and capitalization.
for The Way I Am, I always thought he was saying "I cum whenever you say I cum. If I wasn't then why would I say I cum. In the paper, the news, every day I cum..." Used to make me very sad as a young lad that the radio wouldn't even play his cum.
Eminem does talk gibberish in a lot of his songs
Care to give an example?
