Seduction Lyrics

Lyric discussion by jaymc 

Cover art for Seduction lyrics by Eminem

it is a song about other rappers. When I first listened to it i thought it was about a chick..then he started ussing Jay-Z's trademark on Blueprint 3: The "Aughhhhh"...So I did some research and looked around on the internet...This whole song can be interpeted as a message of shots at Jay for something he said about him on a song called "A Star is Born"

firstly remember Jay-Z is always saying hip hop is his chick...

Jay-Z on blueprint 3 'A Star is Born': "but what Em did was silly, the WHITE BOY blossomed after Dre endorsed him, his flow on Renegade, f-cking awesome, Applaud him," (its a shot saying eminem is famous because of his skin color and saying he beat him on the song renegade but eminem isn't better than him..he just had sick flow on that one song they shared)

Eminem on 'Seduction': "You wear your heart on your sleeve, I sport that WHITE tank BOY But you got a hard on for me, what you hollerin' my name for?" (notice the hidden white boy reference)

He starts the song with saying: Psychological Warfare (A hint at an underlying meaning) (and if its a song about a chick why is he talking about competitors?)

Throughout the song he does Jay-Z's trademark from Blueprint3 the "Aughhh"

I’m the logo on that Dallas Cowboy helmet, a star (The song Jay mentioned him on was a star is born)

And I’m not about to sit back and just keep rhyming one syllable, nah (Jay-Z once said he chooses simplicity over lyricism because people understand it better)

And things just ain’t been the same since the day that I came forth (Ever since eminem out-shined Jay-Z on renegade its not so easy to put Jay over him)

That hater alarm is sounding off, and Obama took the bomb from my name, aww (Jay-Z hung out with obama at the white house)

Switch it up and watch them haters not give it up, cause they’re just not good enough But I’m not giving up til I get my respect, and I won’t stop til I get enough Cause I’m not living up to my own expectations, aww (This random rant just doesn't fit unless he's talking about hip-hop)

So quit crying that I took your dame, homie she’s my dame, aww (Maybe also hinting at Dame Dash)

She brings my name up constant ur boys are like she f**kin wit dude she want son (Eminem is always on the ever debatable list of best rappers)

u better get a clue (People often think Jay-Z was making his best music when he was with DJ Clue)

And lastly the hook: Ain’t nobody who’s as good at what I do Cause one minute she loves you, the next she don’t She’s been stolen from you, it’s like a…(verbal seduction)

Basically what I get from this is that hes saying he's taking hip-hop from him. Fans are easily persuaded and one minute everyone is raving over you (BP3) and the next they aren't because em dropped recovery and now nobody is even talkin bout Jay.

Its very debatable, gathered a lot of this randomly off the internet. Figured it was worth sharing. Aughh!

and I figured also:

"It's quicker to count the things that ain't wrong with you than the things that are" hes talking about his rap career. He's been a freestyle battler, sold millions of records, hes by far a lyricist..

let me just that ur ENTIRE analysis is a well-thought out, beautiful, analytical & metaphysical assessment on what this song truly means. just had 2 say that i much appreciated & enjoyed ur deep thoughtful input!!! TANKIES!!

and yes i know this was random as shit. LOL

This song is not dissing Jay-z. Eminem and Jay-z have a "Renegade" concert tour together both in the Yankee Stadium and in Detroit. How can they be feuding.

Secondly, Eminem cites Jay-z as a rapper that he looked up to, upon excepting an award in 2002, Eminem read off a list of rappers that he inspired...Jay-z was one of them.

Thirdly, on the "A Star Is Born" track, Jay-z was praising Eminem. He was paying homage to Eminem. Jay-z said "The White boy blossomed after Dre endoresed him", this in no way was a diss. In other Jay...
