Triple entendre here:

Slim to none:

  • The odds are highly against you,

  • Eminem (Slim) to nothing (none), he’ll be the reason you don’t return

  • An anorexic nun-Mother Teresa was a nun

Nowadays these new kids are on the New Era snapbacks and some even think it just came out, but snapbacks have been out since the 90’s, they’re just coming back in style.

Here’s Ice Cube rocking a vintage Raiders snapback.

Behind this metaphor, Eminem is implying that Recovery and MMLP2 are nothing alike. The “Love The Way You Lie” songs part 1, part 2, along with an original by Skylar Grey (which features the original verse Em put on part 2). To some aspect Em has already made that track three times. A track that shows a more compassionate side of him many don’t see.

The discovery is you’re not getting that type of emotion this time. Christopher Columbus discovered what we now know to be the U.S. However it wasn’t on purpose seeing as he was a using a compass that pointed to magnetic north, not true north because it of the lodestone.

This time he moves onto a Honda (has no ‘ho’ in it) full of rust. Bondo is used for automobile body repair smoothing its surface. He may be implying that he wouldn’t he give her the luxury of getting banged in a nice car.


Anyways, Bonnaroo is a music festival which Eminem performed in, back in 2011, and Bono is the lead singer in the group U2. He plays on their name in “fuck you too.” Booing someone on stage is basically the equivalent of saying “fuck you” to whoever is performing.

Long string of wordplay here:

  • Continuing the SUV theme, he doesn’t drive a Ford Bronco, which still has a “ho” pronunciation in it but the hard ‘c’ makes it sound like “co”.

  • The horse he’s referring to is a bronco, known for their bucking. He plays on the word to mean money (buck), insinuating that you won’t get a dollar from him.

  • Tonto is the the fictional Native American sidekick to the Lone Ranger. He was know to ride a horse. This further exaggerates how much money you will get from him, Nada.

Continuing the comic book theme from the last line, Onyx is a DC Comics character.

More literally, Eminem wants to blast some music by Onyx, the hardcore rap group from South Jamaica, Queens, New York.

Sticking with the Marshall Mathers LP 2 theme, Sticky Fingaz of Onyx was on the track “Remember Me” from the original MMLP.

Eminem is a noted fan of Onyx, whose “Last Dayz” beat was used in rap battles in 8 Mile.
