eminem-like toy soldiers » uitleg??

[DG]

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down...

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

[Verse 1]
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this shit be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I help build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
Like fuck it i understand this is business
And this shit just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
But now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
Well fuck it, that mutherfucker can get it too, fuck him then
But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
To have Runion Avenue Soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered
There ain't words that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin'
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz

[Chorus]

kan iemand mij uitlegge waar het in de clip/lyrics om gaat:

ik kom niet verder dan dat iemand iets over Hailey zegt en dat er een word doodgescote.
mijn vragen zijn:
-wie rapt er wat over hailey?
-is dat dezelfde persoon die word gekilled( zo nee wie is het dan wel)?
-hij rapt ook iets over 50? wat precies dan,(probeerde 50 m tegen te houden, of hebbe ze ruzie in de clip?)

It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'

dit gaat erover dat ze eerst tegen 50 cent zeiden dat hij ja rule maar moest laten praten, todat jarule 50 in de pers zwart ging maken, en toen zeiden ze ga je gang maar?

ofzo

[DG]

ok das alvast 1

[qghp]

Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it



dit gaat dus weer over ja rule ( ja )


en ik heb geen zin om de hel tekst te lezen dus de andere verzin j zelf maar

[Deux]

Sway: There's some real beef you address on the album, particularly "Like Toy Soldiers." You break down the whole saga of the war of words between your camp, Ja Rule, the Inc. Records and The Source.

Eminem: "Toy Soldiers" is about walking away from the beef. Just like, "Look, I'm done. This is the last thing I've got to say, let me get this off my chest, and from our side, we're walking away from it. You guys can keep saying what you want to say and keep attacking us. Do your thing. If that's what you feel, if you want to spend all your energy and place it into one person instead of focusing on yourself, then do that." But that's my way of saying I'm turning my back on it.

Sway: In the song, you also say that you and Dre actually sat down with 50 before you signed him and told him he didn't have to respond to Ja.

Eminem: Yeah, we did. We sat down with 50 and we asked about the beef between him and Ja and he said everything was cool from his end. One of the things Dre said that stuck in my mind: "We don't want to buy a problem." You know, we're not really looking to start no beef. We're usually not the beef-starters, despite the little stabs taken at pop singers and all that stuff. That's not real beef; that's ha-ha-ha funny.

Sway: On "Like Toy Soldiers," you talk about how your crew is so tight that you picked up 50's initial beef with Ja, and 50 picked up your beef with The Source.

Eminem: I got my beef over here, 50's got his beef with Ja. All of a sudden it seemed like everyone who hates us is teaming up. So then we started inheriting each other's beef. 50 inherited mine, so now he can't be on the cover of The Source magazine 'cause I got this beef over here. He's being attacked by Ja. Ja is saying things about me, then all of a sudden comes out and says a line about my daughter — and when it got to that level, that's when it got crazy to me. That's when it got crazy. But "Toy Soldiers" is a song saying how serious the beef can get, and people can die over this sh--.

Ken t hele nummer niet maar ik verveel me dood dus:

Ja (zal Ja rule wel zijn) rapt over Hailie

Nee, het is ene Suge wat ik eruit opmaak.

Ja rule disste 50 cent, en eminem haalde hem over om zich er niks van aan te trekken, maar toen Ja rule in een interview ging vertellen hoe eminem en dre hem "gestabbed" (zal ook wel gedisst zijn ofzo) hadden moedigden ze 50 aan om er tegenin te gaan.

waarom besteed ik hier moeite aan

bedankt allemaal voor de info

Suge was tog ook de man die bij tupac in de auto zat, toen ie vermoord werd?

[qghp]

[aansteker]

Nee, Suge Knight was de baas van Death Row records. Een platenmaatschappij waarbij B.I.G zijn platen uitbracht.

ja suge zat ook in de auto van 2pac toen die vermoord werd. Hij zat onlangs vast, en hij is inmiddels vrij/of komt binnenkort weer vrij weet het neit precies. Das die dikzak



@aansteker

wtf, big was eastside(NYC) en suge/pac/dre/snoop enz waren allemaal westside(LA). Dus het lijkt me niet bepaald logisch als BIG zn platen bij deathrow uitbrengt

[NERD]

Volgens mij wil Em ons alleen laten weten dat hij vroeger fan van Martika was. En terecht...

Nee joh, hij is die rapper bij de beatles

[Vinzz]

:/ kort gezegd

Em behandeld enkele "beefs" waarin hij verwikkeld was/is

Grootste gedeelte gaat over Ja Rule en Ray Benzino (knaap van de source magazine). Benzino en Em hebben diverse diss tracks tegen elkaar opgenomen een tijdje terug. Benzino claimde oa. dat Eminem slecht voor de hiphop wereld was, hij begon over de racistische oude tape van Em, en sprak ook over zijn dochtertje

Daarnaast zegt ie dat ie nooit suge knight in zijn carriere genoemd heeft en daarom is zijn naam in het nummer ook weggelaten, Dre wou niet dat Eminem zich bemoeide met iets wat hem niet aangaat (Dre en Suge kunnen niet zogoed met elkaar meer).

50 komt er in voor omdat hij diegene was met problemen met Murder Inc records (irv gotti, ja rule,blackchild etc.) en Em deze problemen dus "ge'erfd" heeft aangezien hij 50 signde

Het komt er op neer dat Eminem al dat gezeik zat is ;p

lol wat een onzin ;x

[DG]

ok bedankt aan alle mensen die me verder hebben geholpen

en tegen dat ongedierte dat rap verafschuwd en dat ook duidelijk laat merken, moet een keer uit die suicide scene komen

fijne kerst allemaal

[Plo]

Tupac is/was:

In 1991 de kerstman die van het Empire Statebuilding sprong met parachute.

In 1992 degene die Kurt Cobain hielp met zelfmoord, ook de suicideletter tekst komen bij hem vandaan.

Een fan van borrelnootjes.

In 1995 de man die met een mountianbike de Mt. Everest wilde beklimmen.

[was] levend.

[is] dood.

[is] de grondlegger van het "u-ism", de grondlegger van steenkolenengel's grammatica dus.







Over mezelf, ik [heb]: het meeste van deze ongein uit me duim gezogen.
