Em sought so hard to be recognized and respected in the rap game, that like a nomad, he took different avenues. Rapped on different topics, touched different emotions, but no matter what he did, he just couldn’t seem to succeed. It finally drove him mad, to the point he said fuck it and just did him. He spazzed like Taz on these tracks and now has the respect of everybody.
Notice how in the previous lines his temper started rising, but when he gets to “but I never wanna show that” he calms down. Nice literal manifestation of the line in-song.

Two meanings, literal and symbolic:
Literal ~ The fact that parents unhappy with their kids being exposed to the bad language which Eminem is so fond of. But the kids love annoying their parents anyway so they keep listening to him.
Symbolic ~ Kids are attracted to not only the bad language in his songs, but also his skills as a lyricist and his pride in rarely holding anything back. However other people who listen to his music are able to see past the language and understand and often even relate to the meaning of his songs.

What the fuck is up ? I'mma tell you.
The first “up” is he at your neck, like the common expression “Up to the neck” as in deeply involved in something. He got you deeply involved in his raps by listening to him.
The second “up” is a simile to the previous one, “like a pendleton”. Pendleton Woolen Mills is an American apparel manufacturing company. Kendrick is at your neck just as a signature Pendleton blanket or shirt is when laid upon someone.
Also notice that “pendleton” resembles “pendant” in pronunciation. Another thing to put around the neck.
Oh and this too :
The guy Kendrick’s sitting next to, came up with something that you also put around your neck, and let Kendrick’s rap get “up to your neck” with.
Also, Pendleton is a “THE” choice flannel to wear in cholo culture.
Cholo’s style their flannels by buttoning it up all the way to the neck, which is the witty reference by Kendrick. Having grown up in L.A. where the Chicano Cholo culture started, he witness this first hand.
Camp Pendelton is also a Marine Corps base in Oceanside not too far from LA. I’m sure I don’t need to explain much here

In addition to being a staple in Los Angeles streetwear when Kendrick was coming of age, the Pendleton wool flannel shirt look was also notable for its popularity in L.A.’s gang culture.
“At your neck like a Pendleton” might specifically be refering to the image of Mexican gangsters wearing these flannel shirts and fastening only button the TOP button, right “at the neck”.

Living in California during the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s, Pendletons were mainly referred to as the Pendleton thick jacket that was popular among youths and was considered gang attire. Tons of knockoffs were sold at Swap Meets that had the Pendleton ‘flannel’ look which everyone still refers to as a Pendleton.
Pendleton is also a prison and includes a juvenile prison across the street in Indiana. He states at your neck like a pendelton, Nigga

Pendleton is also sweater brand that has a pretty pricey catalog.
