Mariah Vs. Eminem

Doesn't sound like an even match, does it?

Eminem took umbrage with Mariah Carey apparently dissing him in her track, "Obsessed".

It's also the only R'n'B song I'm aware of (can't say I'm intimately familiar with the genre) that includes references to blogs.

Here's a snippet from her song:
All up in the blogs
Saying we met at the bar
When I dont even know who you are
Saying we up in your house
Saying Im up in your car
But you in LA and Im out at Jermaines.
Im up in the A
You so so lame
and no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed. It must be the E
Cause you be popping hood
You get it popping, Oh

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that youre sexing me (when everybody knows)
Its clear that youre upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldnt impress
Last man on the earth still couldnt hit this
Does it refer to him? Who knows.

But it prompted him launch a freestyle rap against her:




It contains subtle lines like this:
Listen, girly. Surely you dont want me to talk about how I nutted early 'cos ejaculated prematurely and bust all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel youre stomachs curling.
Or maybe you do.
But if Im embarrassing me, Im embarrassing you and dont you dare say it isnt true.
There's also stuff to make paparazzi cream their pants with joy:
I can describe areas of your house you wouldnt find on an episode of Cribs,
A blow below the ribs if I hear another word so dont go opening your jibs cos every time you do its just another load of fibs,
I aint saying this shit again, ho, you know what it is.
Its a warning shot for I blow up ya whole spot,
Call my bluff and Ill release every fucking thing I got,
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top,
What was Mariah Carey's husband, Nick Cannon's, response to to Eminem's churlish attitude towards his wife?

Bible quotes on Twitter. Hmmm.

The same article also includes her response to the allegation that she dissed Eminem in her music video clip:
Mariah has previously insisted she is not mocking Eminem in her Obsessed promo, saying: "Everybody started having their own speculations about who the stalker in the video was. When I look at that stalker and me with the beard, I look like my brother and my cousin Chris. So basically, you know, all the speculation about who I'm playing in the video, it's not accurate."
Question is, did Eminem get all worked up over nothing...or did his shot hit home and thus encourage her to "shut the fuck up"?

You decide.
