Hello, everyone. This’s 雪莉Shirley.有没有一首歌曲,听了好几年,每次音乐响起就觉得很振奋人心呢。
好多JR说《rap god》才是巅峰,我表示EM的歌我都很喜欢听
相比以前的痞子阿姆,我更喜欢现在温情一点的阿姆。
不论是给所有人的《beautiful》,给女儿的《mockingbird》,给Dr dre的《I need a doctor》,还是写给母亲的《Headlights》等等,都给我带来了很多正面的影响。

Lately I’ve been hard to reach
I’ve been too long on my own
Everyone has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me and I’m reaching out for you
Everybody has a private world 每个人都有自己的天空
private adj.私有的,私人的;秘密的;内心的
I’ve always kept my private and professional life separate我总是将私生活和工作分开。
I starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to beat this pain
Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
But I just can’t admit
Or come to grips with the fact that
I may be done with rap
I need a new outlet
I know some shits so hard to swallow
But I just can’t sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow
But I know one fact
I’ll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
Copy
Copy
I took my bruises, took my lumps ,Fell down and I got right back up 身上带着淤青和肿块 摔倒了也立刻爬起来
Just to see what I’d be like to
Feel your pain you feel mine
Go inside each other’s mind
Just to see what we find
Looking shit through each other’s eyes
But don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you
在2005年8月的时候,埃米纳姆自爆患有睡眠性药物依赖综合症。他不想就此毁了自己的一生,于是努力戒毒。
歌曲的第一段主歌是他在康复中心的床边写的,由于受到毒瘾的影响,埃米纳姆不能专注地完成其他部分;于是在康复之后,埃米纳姆才能够将这首歌曲完善。
I don’t need fucking man servin’
Tryin to follow me around and wipe my ass
我们每个人的一生都会摔无数个跟头,但别忘了立刻爬起来,无所畏惧的往前走。
Unfortunately I am but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don’t you all sit down
Listen to the tale I’m about to tell
Hell we don’t have to trade our shoes
And you don’t have to walk no thousand miles
I know some shits so hard to swallow 并且我懂有些事情无法吞的下喉
swallow vt.& vi.吞,咽;忍耐,忍受
Nancy swallowed hard and shook her head. 南希用力咽了口口水,摇了摇头
But don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked Just stay true to you sOoOoo

I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each other’s shoes, at least
What size you where?
I wear tens
Let’s see if you can fit your feet
Walk my shoes, just to see
What it’s like, to be me
All be you, let’s trade shoes
Just to see what I’d be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other’s mind
从“痞子阿姆”到“姆爷”,埃米纳姆其实没有太大的变化。埃米纳姆的韵脚依然无懈可击,流淌的说唱就像四季的河流一样多变华丽,天赋让他睥睨群雄霸气不减。
更重要的是,当其他从贫民窟走出来的说唱明星开始炫耀自己有多少车子、票子、马子,或者拥有多国护照,谁都奈何我不得的时候。
中年埃米纳姆却低头审视自己的灵魂,并直面了自己是一个并不怎么崇高的恶棍的现实。当我们从另外一些作品中拾起这些闪亮的人格魅力,我们又会珍惜感动他作为普通人的一面。
Everyone has a private world
Where they can be alone... sOoOoo
总之,埃米纳姆的歌曲带给了我们许多的正能量,让我们可以奋发前行。

Yea... To my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be soon
And to the rest of the world, god gave you the shoes
That fit you, so put em on and wear em
And be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny,
Don’t ever let no one tell you, you ain’t beautiful
SOoOoo
Beautiful
Eminem
