The Best Urban Rap: Eminem

Product Description

EMINEM – RECOVERY (Aftermath/Interscope)

On Recovery, his seventh major label studio album, Eminem has reached out to an exciting list of first-time collaborators, including DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin and Boi-1da, among others.

EMINEM releases Recovery just over a year after his last album, 2009’s Relapse. Relapse put the cap on an impressive ten years of recorded output, and contributed to Eminem being the biggest selling artist of 2000-2009. In recognition of this, Neilsen SoundScan named him their Artist of the Decade. Relapse entered the charts at #1 and, at nearly double platinum, was the best selling rap album of last year. It also earned Eminem his 11th Grammy award, winning in the Best Rap Album category. Relapse’s first single, “Crack A Bottle” from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Eminem’s second #1 after 2002’s “Lose Yourself”) and set a SoundScan record at the time of its release for opening week download sales (418,000). The album also spun off two other hits; the Top 10 “We Made You” and Top 20 “Beautiful.”

“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year,” remarked EMINEM. “But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title.”

EMINEM has sold more than 78,000,000 albums worldwide. After 1999’s quadruple platinum The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002) became two of the Top 5 best selling albums of the 2000s, with approximately 10,000,000 copies of each sold in the U.S. alone. 2004’s Grammy-nominated Encore reached #1 and was certified quadruple platinum. The #1, double platinum, 2005 greatest hits collection Curtain Call: The Hits and #2, platinum, 2006 various artists compilation Eminem Presents: The Re-Up followed.

"Bad" Lyrics

Your butt is mine

Gonna tell you right

Just show your face

In broad daylight

I'm telling you

On how I feel

Gonna hurt your mind

Don't shoot to kill

Cause I run UPT.

Cause I run UPT.

Lay it on me

All right...

I'm giving you

On count of three

To show your stuff

Or let it be...

I'm telling you

Just watch your mouth

I know your game

What you're about

Well they say the sky's the

limit

And to me that's really true

But my friend you have seen nothin'

Just wait 'til I get through...

Because I'm bad, I'm bad.

Cause I run UPT.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

You know it.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

Cause I run UPT, you know.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

And the whole world has to

answer right now

Just to tell you once again,

Who's bad...

The world is out

You're doin' wrong

Gonna lock you up

Before too long,

Your lyin' eyes

Gonna tell you right

So listen up

Don't make a fight,

Your talk is cheap

You're not a man

You're throwin' stones

To hide your hands

But they say the sky's the limit

And to me that's really true

And my friends you have seen nothin'

Just wait 'til I get through...

Because I'm bad, I'm bad.

Cause I run UPT.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

You know it.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

world has to

answer right now)

Just to tell you once again,

Who's bad...

We can change the world tomorrow

This could be a better place

If you don't like what I'm sayin'

Then won't slap my face...

Because I'm bad, I'm bad.

Cause I run UPT.

(Bad bad-really, really bad)

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

You know it.

You know I'm bad, I'm bad.

Michael Jackson in "Billie Jean" Video

"Billie Jean" Lyrics

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

She came and stood right by me

Then the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is

Not my lover

Not my lover

Not my lover

Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is

"Man In the Mirror" Lyrics

I'm gonna make a change,

for once im my life

It's gonna feel

real good,

gonna make a diference

Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on

my favorite winter coat

This wind is blowing my mind

I see the kids in the streets,

with not enought to eat

Who am I to be blind?

Pretending not to see their needs

A summer disregard,

a broken bottle top

And a one man soul

They follow each other on the wind ya' know

'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his wa

ys

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love

It's time that I realize

That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me,

pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken h

eart

And a washed-out dream

(Washed-out dream)

They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see

'Cause they got no place to be

That's why I'm starting with me

(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

(Ooh!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

I

'm starting with the man in the mirror

(Ooh!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Change his ways - ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make that..

(Take a look at yourself and then make that..)

CHANGE!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Better change!)

No message could have been any clearer

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)

(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)

('Cause when you close your heart)

You can't close your... your mind!

(Then you close your... mind!)

That man, that man, that man, that man

With the man in the mirror

(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)

That man, that man, that man,

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Better change!)

You know... that man

No message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna m

ake the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself and then make the change

(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah

(Ooooh...)

Oh no, no no...

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good!

Cause I run UPT!

(Change...)

Just lift yourself

You know

You've got to stop it,

Yourself!

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

I've got to make that change, today!

Hoo!

(Man in the mirror)

You got to

You got to not let yourself...

brother

...

Hoo!

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

You know - I've got to get

that man, that man...

(Man in the mirror)

You've got to

You've got to move! Come on!

Come on!

YOu got to...

Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!

(Yeah! - Make that change)

Stand up and lift yourself, now!

(Man in the mirror)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Aaow!

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

Gonna make that change...

come on!

You know it!

You know it!

You know it!

"Beat It" Lyrics

They told him don't you ever come around here

Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear

The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear

So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can

Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man

You wanna be tough, better do what you can

So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can

Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man

You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared

You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare

They'll kick you, then they beat you,

Then they'll tell you it's fair

So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

International Hip Hop superstar Nas and Grammy-winning artist Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley join creative forces to release this highly anticipated and exciting 2010 collaboration. This is an album created by the two serious artists to explore and celebrate the correlations and deep-rooted connections between reggae and Hip Hop, tracing both sounds back to the African motherland that is both the cradle of humanity and the wellspring of mankind’s music. The project features the signature instrumentation and musicianship of Marley with the hard-hitting beats and lyrics of Nas. Distant Relatives traces the direct line from Dancehall Reggae’s breakthrough moment 40 years ago to the rise of Hip Hop several years later.
