Nick Cannon Falls Into The Eminem's Trap

Posted Mon May 11, 2009 5:23pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training
Looks like Eminem successfully enlisted Nick Cannon to help promote his new album Relapse which is slated for a May 19 release.

 

Nick Cannon went on a rampage Friday when he heard Eminem's Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon diss track "Bagpipes From Baghdad." On the leaked song, Eminem jokes about his previous short-lived dating stint with Mariah.

Eminem sarcastically suggests that he wants "her back" while making derogatory slants about Mariah and her newlywed husband of one year.

Nick's angry blog response no longer appears on his website, however, it was cited by several news sources.

According to MTV, Nick initially thought "Bagpipes From Baghdad" was a joke. "I thought it was old material that had been dug up from when dude 'fantasized' about having a pretend fling with Mariah," the music television channel reported. "But all of a sudden I hear my name in the verse! My first reaction was like, 'This is his new sh-t? Wow, that's too bad.'"

Nick argues that Eminem's attack on Mariah is indicative of negative comments he made about Black women on the song "Foolish Pride" recorded prior to the release of his Interscope 1999 debut The Slim Shady LP. "How did we let him get away with that in the first place? He is a natural born racist is disguise," Nick wrote, hip hop blog Brokencool.com noted.

Nick says Eminem never got over Mariah. "I feel sorry for him because he must really be stuck in the past," Nick says, according to US magazine. "Not only has his music not evolved, but also homeboy is still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from eight years ago."

"What type of grown...man lies about getting with a chick? Only Slim Lamey! LOL!" Cannon added.

Mariah addressed her relationship with Eminem on the song "Clown" from her 2003 album Charmbracelet. Mariah sang, "You should've never intimated we were lovers, when you know very well we never even touched each other."

Nick Cannon should have spoken out. Mariah is his wife, and he needed to defend her. But Nick's approach is all wrong. This isn't a real beef. It is an album set-up strategy within Eminem's shock-value platform. The more people get riled up and complain the bigger Eminem wins.

By getting irate, threatening Eminem, and digging up his old dramas, Nick has done exactly what Marshall Mathers hoped he would do. Eminem is the bad guy people love to hate. Nick has spent too much time on the subject.

Nick should have simply said that he did not appreciate the song and would discuss it would Eminem.

People are mocking Nick's long, play-by-play plan of attack. He just needs to contact Eminem, make a response record, or just move on. Otherwise, he is just fueling the hype of Relapse just like 50 Cent's preoccupation with Rick Ross helped Ross' Deeper Than Rap secure another No. 1 debut.

Nick Cannon is an idiot. He says that Eminem is racist? Thats his way to get people to hate him is with slander??? Grow some balls Nick. Stop acting like a child.

92. Yahoo! Music User -
Eminem's a douchebag that should have quit making music a while ago. It's sad that all he has to fall back on is childish name calling and hookups that probably never happened.

93. __A_YAHOO_USER__ -
Indian princess your so full of it. You cant seem to understand the business side of it. This aint about who said whta its about selling records. And things like this will sell records. you can hate em but are now likely to pick up his new album to hear who his ripping art now. Knowing eminem he is going to have some great material.

94. Shawn B. -
Em hasn't evolved!? Nick you made "I'm A Gigilo"....Ya, that's the cue for you to shut up Nick, you've been duped by the angriest man in music today....

95. jenda -

96. Yahoo! Music User -

97. Ash -
Are you serious!!! Nick you are so stupid!! How can Eminem be racist when he is really good friends with 50 cent and Dre. Come on.. all his friends are black so how can he be racist?? It's okay for you to dis people on your lame ass show but you get pissed when someone disses on you. Grow up and get over yourself.

98. Yahoo! Music User -
Nick's just jealous, can't say that he's done anything close to Em. Nick thought he would ride on Mariah's tails and then found out she don't have them .

99. Nesha -
UM NICK IS STILL A LITTLE KID IF YALL DIDN'T KNO SO DUH HE'S GONNA STILL ACT IMMATURE AND DO CHILDISH THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE

Nick & his wilding out self need to get back under Mariah's skirt. Where he belongs & keep is talentless mouth shut. Mariah can sing & already rebutted Em's 1st attack on her, albeit unsuccessfully. Eminem is a legendary rapper & he is no racist. He also is now probably going to destroy Nick Cannon on another diss track. Nick Cannons candy ass should have never opened his mouth..
