    Square Dance

    Album: The Eminem Show
    [​IMG]
    When I first heard “Square Dance,” I thought it was a brilliant beat and a brilliant concept, that weird country/rap mash-up. After all, here was the world’s most popular and important white rapper (ever); who else could mix these genres in a meaningful way? And when he began using his “cracker” white-guy voice, too, telling the audience to doe-see-doe, etc., it didn’t feel like he was making fun of white people, necessarily, but instead making fun of those white people who were scared of rap. The suburban moms and dads. The senators who’d called him out for easy political gain.

    With “Square Dance,” Eminem was simultaneously appropriating white-people music, and lashing out at the criticism he’d faced from the insulated white establishment. One of the first lines in the song, after all, is “No friend of Bush,” and in the second verse we get “a plan to ambush this Bush administration/ mush the Senate’s face in/ push this generation of kids to stand and fight/ for the right to say something/ you might not like.” (And then there’s my favorite line, when he seems to be speaking to his army of suburban followers: “You just a baby/ Gettin’ recruited at eighteen/ You’re on a plane now,/ Eating their food and their baked beans./ I’m 28, they gon’ take you ‘fore they take me.”)

    Rabbit Run

    Album: 8 Mile
    This song was off the soundtrack to the movie 8 Mile and essentially is a veiled parallel between the lives of the main character, Jimmy Smith (a.k.a. “Rabbit”), and Eminem.

    The name alludes to John Updike’s classic novel Rabbit, Run. In fact the screenplay for 8 Mile with begins a quote from Rabbit, Run: “If you have the guts to be yourself…other people’ll pay your price.” Real F'n Talk

    Deja Vu

    Album: Relapse
    1. On this song Eminem recounts his descent into drug dependency, during which he gained weight, grew depressed and lost his creative spark. Em explained to the Observer Music Monthly May 2009: "Honestly, I never really put the mic down. The problem was, as I'm going to be explaining over and over again for a while, is that I had a pretty bad drug problem. I was messing with Valium, Vicodin, Ambien and anything to [help me to] sleep. Basically I'd take Vicodin to get me through my day."
    2. The murder of Eminem's best friend and D12 member, Proof, in April 2006 did nothing to help his downward spiral. On this track, the rapper mentions Proof by his birth name, DeShaun. Em raps that his mourning helped him spiral out of control. In the Relapse liner notes he pays tribute to his fallen friend, writing: "Proof, no matter how much time passes, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. If it weren't for you, I would not be where I am today, and we both know it. I tried to write a song for you, but nothing was good enough, so I'm dedicating them all to you - and you'd be happy to know that I spazzed out on 'em again! I know you wouldn't have it any other way! F--- 'em all - let's get 'em!"
    3. It was reported in late 2007 that Eminem was stricken with pneumonia. On this track, he clarifies the story saying the cause of his illness was his immune system being weakened by drugs. He raps: "That Christmas, you know that whole pneumonia thing. It was bologna, was it the methadone, ya think?"
