He certainly did earn that reputation.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
This song is sick. Marshall Mathers is the type of person who says what he wants and gives you the middle finger if you have something bad to say about it.
Much Respect.
Slim anus Damn right slim anus I dont get fucked in my like you two little flaming faggots
That is the funniest line. My friends could barely hold it together after hearing that line. Anyway this is an awesome song. The version I have ends with a song called rock that form motergro, i thinks my version is from a radio cut, i can hear the dj saying all this stuff covering up the beginning of the song.
Bet that dude callin eminem a bitch wigga would never say that to his face, wow how lame can you be, trolling the interwebs, bet you wouldn't even say that in front of a fan neither cuz by then you be catchin a good ol fashioned passionate ass whoopin getting your shoes coat and your hat tooken. He ha
he explains the meaning in the song just like he does with almost every other song he's written. its about ppl not knowing when to fuck off and just leave him be. and about how ppl think all this shit and stuff and he is still just a normal guy that has problems and has to deal with them all. just becuz he's rich doesnt make him better or worse then ne 1 else! thats what he's talkin about!!!
I think the first guy that commented on this song should shut the fuck up. This is the song, again, Eminem explains the meaning in the song. I think he speaks for all stars when he says to leave me the fuck alone. This same message is in The Way I Am.
he does the fag thing for a joke...and all the bullshit ICP started? WTF? he should leave them alone...they've made so many fucking disses on him!!! and the fag thing...lets not all forget that he did a song with elton john...the fuckin gayest gay god of them all. he even hugged him. he has nothin against them...so u should leave him alone!!!
@PepsiCan You calm yet? Gave you 21 years.
@Slammin706 damn
@Fluff_ball14 I am gonna go with yes
@Slammin706 I think so too
in fact...eminem should keep buggin fags and/ like ICP
does anyone know the story of how the "your attorney Fred Gibson's a" got bleeped out of the song??? and how did anyone get ahold of it unbleeped???
i dunno for sure...but i think he was probably gonna get sued if he used it in the song. they're are actually a lot of songs that have words 'bleeped' out! I'm not exactly sure why though...!!!
uhhh, as far as i know, this is the only bleep on the supposedly "uncensored" version of the cd. i'd always wondered what could've been so bad to bleep out, and i'm curious to know the story behind it
