I was looking up something completely unrelated to music online and I came across lyrics of Eminem in his song “I Remember”.
I read the lyrics and wondered what he meant. What do you think it means? This song is dediated to Everlast (a former member of House of Pain, who is Irish and a muslim revert.)
Eminems lyrics go as follows:
“But you’re a homosexual, white rappin’ Irish Muslim
Man I wish I was Irish, I could be a Muslim too
Then I’d be confused as you, and I wouldn’t know what to do”
Is he suggesting being muslim is akin to being confused, or am I reading this wrong?
he's saying how many white irish boys do u see being muslim..basically irish boy and being muslim dont go hand in hand so he's confused..he doesnt know what he is..
Would you care to post a link of the site you quote lyrics from? As far as I know, Eminem doesn't have any song "I Remember." Title song, "Remeber Me" I heard of it.
Maybe I haven't heard of the song "I Remember ", therefore, I'd like to see the link. :) Also, don't take Marshall's words seriously. He likes to kid around, make fun of celebs, politicians most of the time.

Pakistani Tiger, I checked three sites last night but dont remember which ones they were. All you have to do is go to yahoo and type in Remember and Eminem and lyrics and you will see several sites pop up. They all had it, except one where the words were taken out and the word "unknown" was written in.
I know all about Eminem, read his bio, his lyrics, etc. Hes an intelligent guy but theres something we need to realize and that is that millions of ppl listen to his music and are influenced by it. If I can take something to mean one thing, so can a lot of other ppl. smile

Yeah, been there done that......
Munni, it depends on people how they take the lyrics. Marshall likes to target specific people with his lyrics. Be it the Govt. of America in "White America", Sep. Hijackers in "911" song or Celebrities in almost every song. He didn't even spare his Mother, his wife Kim nor Homosexuals and Women. Most of the people I chatted with describe Marshall quite insane but if you meet him, he's not what you think he is.
There's a song Stan in which he asked his fans not to act like him. The Way I Am tells that he gonna ain't sign an autograph for you if you find him feeding, eating with his daughter some place, or taking a piss in the bathroom. Doesn't matter if you call him A-hole. For Eminem, he just wants to have fun and not to take things seriously. His lyrics means nothing. That's the way Eminem is.
There was a program on VH1 channel couple of weeks back. When M was asked what's the message does his lyrics carried. He replied: There's a positive message in music. That is "F You"
