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.

That is funny because no one even cares who Nick Cannon is except that he is Mariah's man! And since when does she need anyone to speak for her anyway? Eminem don't give a @#%% and is probably happy to get the publicity Lol!

F Cannon. What has he done lately in his career almost nothing but his stupid TV show on MTV that isn't even that great. Give EM credit he pulled himself out of the music industry for awhile now and is trying to get back in not the easiest thing to do. If Nick has a problem with EM than he should listen to a lot more other rap artists because what eminem is saying isn't nothing compared to what's out there now.

175. Zo Yo -
I just they should leave them alone. They didn't do nothin to em'

176. Yahoo! Music User -
Eminem is a washed-up drug addict loser just like his mom that he hates. Move on Nick & Mariah...

177. JerricaW -
Honestly, how can anyone even still be an Eminem fan unless they are 13 and haven't matured. His music is horrible, and none of it holds any real meaning. His teenybopper beats and lame celeb jokes are overplayed. Thats how ALL of his songs are. It is old now. Not to mention the lame videos where all he does is bad celeb comedy. And his attitude is just childish as well. He flat out says that he is only out to piss ppl off. It would cool if he was actually making good music while he did it. He should have stayed retired. He sucks. Bad.

178. Petra -
they both need to grow up

179. Marty M -
haha Eminem is NOT a ****** racist. and if u say he is, then i guess u r...

EMINEM WINS!
EAT IT!
