It’s no secret that Eminem does a fair share of writing for his mentor Dr. Dre. What is more murky is what writing he has done, or continues to do, for other artists in the industry. Outside of Canibus accusing Em of penning LL Cool J’s “The Ripper Strikes Back,” it hasn’t been a topic of concern amongst Hip-Hop heads. But with this new leak, it’s a good bet that Marshall Mathers is dabbling in some side work for his southern peers.
The beat screams Houston, Texas, and even sports a screwed-out chorus. The first verse is about “candy paint” and “riding clean,” exactly the talk you’d expect from someone like Slim Thug or Paul Wall, not Slim Shady. The last verse starts with Bun B inflections before Em goes into his more familiar flows and content.
Strange track all-around. Em references himself in the last verse (“Is Pretty Marshall gonna have to choke me a bitch?”), so we at least know that verse is from his point of view. Nontheless, it’s still interesting to hear him tackle this type of style.
