Relapse came out in 2009. His last CD before that was Curtain Call: the Hits, released in 2005. His last album of new material was Encore back in 2004.

And in case you’re wondering “B” is an abbreviation of “brother” or “bro”.

@martinhp yes, but that wasn’t an album of Eminem music. It was a compilation album from the Shady 1.0 gang with some input from Em.

Off of Cage’s 2009 album, Depart from Me.

The typical subject matter of being at a club is underscored by his depression and lack of enthusiasm. Although he has some ingredients for a good time (drinks and a girl that wants him), he doesn’t sound all that happy to be there.

“Course” can mean route or direction, and is also a part of a meal, as in “your first course will be…”

“Pulled pork” is a popular BBQ dish, but P.O.S. uses the term here to refer to the police.

The 2 words that he plays off of both have meanings associated with food, which adds another layer of depth to this line.

“Pulled Wool” Refers to the saying, “Pulling the wool over their eyes” which means deceive someone.

It also continues the “sheep” metaphor from the previous line, as the wolf’s clothing is made out of sheep wool.

I feel like by saying “with rose coloured lenses on my store bought frames, to see something other than these blues and greys” He is saying that he is trying to buy happiness, buy something to distract him from the usual sadness or disappointment he feels in his day to die life. Its like his rose coloured lenses are a distraction and cover from what he sees in reality

“rose colored lenses” comes from the french expression “La vie on rose” which translates to “life in pink” but basically means seeing things the way you want to see them instead of the harsh reality of things which is what my man Frank is doing right here in this verse.

Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, Big L…Dead.

Jay-Z (Shawn Carter), Diddy (Sean Combs)…Money.

Big Sean is both a “Big” and a “Sean” though! So who knows what’s going to happen…?

Similar to his line from the 2010 G.O.O.D. Music B.E.T. Cypher

The last two lines have some wordplay with the numbers, which are all repeated twice. Even though his odds are “50/50”, with his perfect “20/20” vision he’s counting “a hundred 100’s” which is $10,000.

He’s the best on YouTube. This is also a reference to the original ‘Forever’, which was on the soundtrack to More than a Game, a documentary about Lebron James.

The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by the Atom Bomb on August 6th and 9th, respectively. The bombings convinced Japan to surrender which ended World War II.

As the post war rebuilding of Hiroshima began, the closest surviving building to the location of the blast’s epicenter was named the Atomic Dome, and was incorporated into the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

To “break a leg” is an idiom which means to put on a good show, and “third leg” is a euphemism for his dick.

It’s a play on words as he wants to both “break a leg” in terms of success, and break his penis (his third leg) by fucking so much/hard.

By referring to it as a third leg he’s also bragging about it’s size.
