A hard-hitting rundown of those who’ve faced Eminem’s lyrical fire on his records—friends, foes, celebrities, and anyone who dared cross Slim Shady’s path. From brutal takedowns to poetic revenge, Eminem’s songs have seen countless “victims,” where his sharp words have “cut down” everyone from rivals to pop culture icons.
The rapper has racked up a lot of victims over the years.
Eminem has never been one to suffer in silence. The Detroit rapper’s discography amounts to one decades-long public therapy session, a forum for the ever-aggrieved artist born Marshall Mathers to sort through his complex feelings about his mother, his ex-wife, and women in general—not to mention his childhood tormentors, fame, addiction, wealth, annoying pop-culture figures, so-called rival rappers, and even hip-hop itself.
He’s driven by pain, spite, honesty, revenge, intelligence, love of wordplay, and the desire to shock, though not necessarily in that order.
Along the way, there has been a lot of collateral damage, as Em is prone to depicting vicious assaults and murders in his lyrics. His songs often verge on “horrorcore,” and that makes him worthy of analyzing during Halloween season. In song, Eminem often comes off like a weirdly lovable slasher-flick villain, quick with a one-liner and handy with a chainsaw.
What follows is a semi-comprehensive list of the people and animals—both real and fictional—who’ve been killed or maimed on Eminem’s 12 studio albums. For the most part, we’ve disregarded vague threats of violence (the “Bitch, I’ma kill you!” pre-chorus of “Kill You,” for example) and focused on instances where Em identifies victims with some degree of specificity. The methodology is highly unscientific, and we’ve almost certainly missed some, so cut us some slack as you wade into this lyrical bloodbath.
Pamela Anderson (assaulted)
“My Name Is,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee’s tits off
And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross
The unedited version of the song that introduced Eminem to the masses contains a pretty wild line about Baywatch sex symbol Pamela Anderson, then known as Pamela Lee, as she was married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. Incidentally, Em mentions both Pam and Tommy—and their marital struggles—on 2000’s “The Real Slim Shady.”
DeAngelo Bailey (assaulted)
“Brain Damage,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could
And beat him over the head with it ‘til I broke the wood
Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot
Most of “Brian Damage” is about how young Eminem was bullied by a kid named DeAngelo Bailey, who subsequently sued Em over how he was depicted in this cartoonishly violent song. (Bailey lost.) But at one point in the second verse, Em grabs weapons from the janitor’s closet and enacts some brutal revenge.
Mischa Barton (assaulted)
“Taking My Ball,”, Relapse: Refill, 2009
I think I’ll put a piece of art on my Visa card
Then I’ll go beat Mischa Barton with a Cuisinart
During her stint on the ’00-defining series The OC, actress Mischa Barton was pilloried in the press for her super-skinny frame. (It was a truly disgusting time for celebrity journalism.) Maybe that’s why Eminem comes at her wielding a food processor.
Malachi Boardman (assaulted)
“Bagpipes from Badhdad,” Relapse, 2009
Every minute there’s a sucker born, snuck up on Malachai
Made the motherfucker suck on a shuck of corn
Eminem knows his horror movies. Malachi Boardman is a character in Stephen King’s The Children of the Corn, which has spawned a string of films.
Brenda (abducted and murdered)
“Stay Wide Awake,” Relapse, 2009
Fe-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta
I enter Central Park, it’s dark, it’s winter in December
I see my target, put my car in park, and approach a tender
Young girl by the name of Brenda and I pretend to befriend her
“Stay Wide Awake” comprises a series of chilling rape and murder fantasies, but only one of Em’s victims gets a name. In an annotation from 2015, Genius user @raulmarquesRJ speculates that Eminem chose “Brenda” in reference to the 2Pac classic “Brenda’s Got a Baby,” which seems plausible.
Christie Brinkley (murdered?)
“Framed,” Revival, 2017
She’s unaware in no underwear, she’s completely bare
Turns around and screams, I remember distinctly
I said “I’m here to do sink repairs.”
Chop her up, put her body parts
In front of Steven Avery’s trailer and leave ‘em there
The lyrics actually don’t make it clear whether Eminem slays supermodel Christie Brinkley or simply fantasizes about doing so early in the verse before killing and dismembering another woman. Either way, it’s pretty bonkers.
Garth Brooks (assaulted)
“Role Model,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
(We did it) My mind won’t work if my spine don’t jerk
I slapped Garth Brooks out of his rhinestone shirt
Maybe we shouldn’t expect an Eminem country album anytime soon.
Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman (murdered)
“Role Model,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Me and Marcus Allen went over to see Nicole
When we heard a knock at the door, must’ve been Ron Gold
Jumped behind the door, put the orgy on hold
Killed them both, then smeared blood on the white Bronco
No wonder the glove didn’t fit.
“Not Alike,” Kamikaze, 2018
Don’t make me go in, I O. J. the flows
And I’m insult to injury, Rolaids to Goldman
I’m throat spray and Motrin, I throated Nicole
As they both there to choke and my whole blade is soakin’
A double-edge sword, it cuts both ways, I poke and
I stick and I turn in a rotating motion
Em’s second reference to the O.J. Simpson trial is an extended metaphor for murdering rhymes. So the hunt for the real killer continues.
Hilary Clinton (assaulted)
“Role Model,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Hilary Clinton tried to slap me and call me a pervert
I ripped her fuckin’ tonsils out and fed her sherbet (Bitch)
Assuming Hilary didn’t need a tonsillectomy, this was just rude.
Dr. Dre (murdered, assaulted)
“The Real Slim Shady,” The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
And Dr. Dre said
Nothing, you idiots, Dr. Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement (Ha-ha)
Dr. Dre essentially discovered Eminem and made his career. This is the thanks he gets.
“Criminal,”, The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
Oh, that’s Dre with an AK to his face
Don’t make me kill him too and spray his brains all over the place
I told you, Dre, you should’ve kept that thang put away
I guess that’ll teach you not to let me play with it, eh?
“That is my 5th attempt at trying to kill Dre,” Eminem wrote in a verified Genius annotation. “I’m kinda surprised he still wants to be my friend.”
Eminem (murdered, assaulted, overdosed)
“My Name Is,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
I lay awake and strap myself in the bed
With a bulletproof vest on and shoot myself in the head (Bang)
‘Cause I’m steamin’ mad (Grr)
Critics of Eminem’s violent lyrics may have a point, but it’s worth noting that nobody dies more often in Eminem songs than Eminem does.
“Brain Damage,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin’
And had me in the position to beat me into submission
He banged my head against the urinal ‘til he broke my nose
Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat
The “he” here is Em’s old nemesis DeAngelo Bailey, a bully who—in this song, at least—didn’t act alone. A couple lines later, Em claims the school principal helped Bailey deliver this beatdown.
“As the World Turns,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
I went to grab my gun, that’s when her ass put it on me (Stop)
With an uppercut, hit me with a basket of laundry (Ooh)
I fell through the glass doors, started causin’ a scene
Slid across the floor and flew right into a washin’ machine
In the second verse of “As the World Turns,” Eminem tries to rob a woman in a laundromat. She temporarily gets the upper hand but can’t escape the grotesque fate that awaits.
“I’m Shady,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
The ill type, I stab myself with a steel spike
While I blow my brain out just to see what it feels like
Another example of Eminem using humor to mask very real pain.
“Insane,” Relapse, 2009
My stepfather said that I sucked in the bed
‘Til one night, he snuck in and said
“We’re going out back, I want my dick sucked in the shed”
Can’t we just play with Teddy Ruxpin instead?
“After I fuck you in the butt, get some head, bust a nut, get some rest”
Em uses casual language to level some heavy accusations against his stepdad. He later claimed the song is “pretty much all fiction.”
“Insane,” Relapse, 2009
The next day, my mother said “I don’t know what the fuck’s up with this kid!
The bastard won’t even eat nothing, he’s fed
He just hung himself in the bedroom, he’s dead!”
In the aftermath of the horrific abuse alleged a few lines earlier, Eminem attempts to take his own life. Still, he can’t help but present the whole thing as a farce.
“My Darling,” Relapse, 2009
Marshall…” — What?! — No one’s gonna love you like I do”
Chainsaw starting up
If anyone’s going to kill Eminem, err Marshall Mathers, it should be his alter ego Slim Shady, the one wielding a chainsaw at the close of this song.
“Bad Guy,” The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013
Well, gotta go, almost at the bridge
Ha ha, big bro, it’s for you; Slim, this is for him
And Frank Ocean; oh, hope you can swim good
Now say you hate homos again
In this sequel to his word-coining all-timer “Stan,” Eminem is murdered by Stan’s brother, Matthew, who blames the rapper for the loss of his sibling.
“Survival,” The Marshall Mathers LP2, 2013
And if there should ever come a time where my life’s in a rut
And I look like I might just give up, eh, might’ve mistook
Me for bowin’ out, I ain’t takin’ a bow, I’m stabbin’ myself
With a fuckin’ knife in the gut while I’m wipin’ my butt
‘Cause I just shitted on the mic and I like gettin’ cut
Don’t get it twisted. Em’s not done. But he is twisted.
“Legacy,” The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013
I had a bad day at school so I ain’t talkin’
Some cocksucker shoved me into a fuckin’ locker
‘Cause he said that I eye-balled him
The scars of childhood never really go away. Em wants everybody to see his.
“Brainless,” The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013
This kid just took my stick of licorice
And threw my sticker books in a picker bush
I wanna kick his tush, but I was six and shook
This fucker was twelve and was six foot, with a vicious hook
He hit me, I fell, I got back up, all I did was book
Now there’s usin’ your head, momma always said
The bullying of young Marshall continues.
“Remind Me,” Revival, 2017
Turn the volume all the way up on your boombox
And excuse the locker room talk, I’m just too raw
But apparently, so are you, ma
‘Cause you just kicked me in the balls and told me to screw off
And that’s why—
It probably says something about Eminem that his dream woman is someone who’ll kick him in the groin.
“Tragic Endings,” Revival, 2017
Who would think she’d actually have the balls to do it?
As soon as I hopped in it, she doused the car with lighter fluid
She’s standing there with a rag, ‘bout to put the lighter to it
Lit the fucking thing on fire, then she threw it
When the relationship described in this song blows up, it really blows up.
“Castle,” Revival, 2017
I’m sliding down a slippery slope
Anyways sweetie, I better go
I’m getting sleepy, love, Dad–shit, I don’t know
After pouring his heart out to his daughter, Eminem relives the 2007 overdose that caused him to miss Christmas and nearly claimed his life.
Eminem’s cousin (murdered, dismembered)
“3 a.m.,” Relapse, 2009
I remember the first time I dismembered a family member
December, I think it was, I was having drinks with my cousin
I wrapped him in Christmas lights
Pushed him into the stinkin’ tub, cut him up into pieces
And just when I went to drink his blood
I thought, “I oughta drink his bathwater, that oughta be fun”
It’s not actually Eminem’s cousin, since he’s playing a serial killer, but the first Mathers family Christmas after this song dropped was probably pretty weird.
Eminem’s dad (murdered in a dream)
“My Name Is,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
And by the way, when you see my dad (Yeah?)
Tell him that I slit his throat in this dream I had
Em never met his father, who left the family shortly after the future rapper was born. He died in 2019 at the age of 67.
Eminem’s dog (murdered)
“Stepdad,” Music To Be Murdered By: Side B, 2020
Our dog pissed on the carpet, he stomped it so hard
Doctors had to put it down
He killed my chihuahua, this motherfucker!
As with “Insane,” this song might be largely fiction. Even so, it’s sad to think about that little pooch.
Eminem’s guinea pig (murdered, microwaved)
“As the World Turns,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
It all started when my mother took my bike away
‘Cause I murdered my guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave
His mother seems justified here in revoking his bicycle privileges.
Eminem’s mom, Debbie (sexually assaulted)
“Kill You,” The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
Shut up, slut! You’re causin’ too much chaos
Just bend over and take it like a slut—okay, Ma?
“Oh, now he’s rapin’ his own mother
Abusin’ a whore, snortin’ coke and we gave him the Rolling Stone cover?”
You goddamn right, bitch, and now it’s too late
I’m triple platinum and tragedies happened in two states
This might not even be the wildest thing Em ever said about his mom. Interestingly, Em asked for forgiveness 14 years later via “Headlights” and its heartwarming music video, directed by Spike Lee.
Eminem’s stepdad (murdered)
“Stepdad,” Music To Be Murdered By: B, 2020
Slammed the door and hid behind it with an aluminum bat
He kicked it in
I swung it hard as I could at his head
His noodle went splat, he fell right at the foot of my bed
I’m a little bit scared but my anger’s overtooken the fear
I threw down the bat and just started whoopin’ his ass
Beat him with my bare hands, the big bad wolf ain’t so bad
“Ding-dong,” the pussy is dead, the bully finally gets his
Stomped him until he pissed enough to fill a two-liter with
Then buried him next to my dog
Justice for the chihuahua?
Evelyn (murdered)
“Buffalo Bill,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
Evelyn, why you trying to fight? You will never win
Severin’ legs, arms; damn, there goes another limb
Pull the lever, then; trapdoor, death is evident
Em goes full Silence of the Lambs, and that means curtains for the fictional Evelyn, who doesn’t get much of a backstory on this track.
Kim Kardashian (assaulted)
“3 a.m., Relapse, 2009
I cut and I slash, slice and gash, last night was a blast
I can’t quite remember when I had that
Much fun off a half-pint of the Jack, my last Vic and-a-half
A flashlight up Kim Kardashian’s ass
“Taking My Ball,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
In my Spider-Man mask, man, just imagine the
Fun I can have with a strap-on
Stick it up Kim Kardashian’s ass and make the bitch run a triathlon
Despite it all, Kim is still a fan.
Kim Scott (murdered)
“’97 Bonnie & Clyde,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
And Mama said she wants to show you how far she can float
And don’t worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It’s just a little scratch, it don’t hurt
Her was eatin’ dinner while you were sweepin’
And spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama’s messy, ain’t she? We’ll let her wash off in the water
“Kim,” The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
Don’t you get it, bitch? No one can hear you
Now shut the fuck up, and get what’s comin’ to you
You were supposed to love me
Now bleed, bitch, bleed! Bleed, bitch, bleed! Bleed!
It’s safe to say Eminem was working through some unresolved hostility with his ex-wife. Amazingly, the couple remarried in 2006, though they only made it 41 days. On the bright side, Kim has more recently described them as “really close friends.”
Kim’s new man and his son (murdered)
“’97 Bonnie & Clyde,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Now we’ll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help Dad with two more things out the trunk
“Kim,” The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
How could you let him sleep in our bed?! Look it, Kim
Look at your husband now! (No!) I said look at him
He ain’t so hot now, is he? Little punk
There’s a year old little
Laying dead with a slit throat, in your living room
Some of the grisliest lines in the Eminem catalog. That last one even had to be censored.
Heidi Klum (assaulted)
“Taking My Ball,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
Shady, what are you doin’ chewin’ on a human?
Grab an aluminum bat, hit Heidi Klum in the back, boom!
Seriously, who doesn’t like Heidi Klum?
Freddy Kreuger and Edward Scissorhands (assaulted)
“Underground,”, Relapse, 2009
Walked up Elm Street with a fuckin’ Wiffle bat drew
Fought Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands too
The plastic yellow bat won’t do much against three three deadly claw hands.
Lindsay Lohan (murdered)
“Same Song & Dance,” Relapse, 2009
”Hello, Lindsay, you’re looking a little thin, hun
How ‘bout a ride to rehab? Get in, cunt!“
But starting off on the wrong foot is what I didn’t want
“Girl, I’m just kidding, let me start over again, hun
See what I meant was, we should have a little intervention
Come with me to Brighton, let me relieve your tension
You little wench, ya, murder wasn’t my intention
If I wanted to kill you, it would’ve already been done”
Slowly she gets in and I begin to lynch her with 66 inches of extension cord
Lohan was a good sport when Eminem roasted her as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the 2004 VMAs. But that wasn’t enough to save her from strangulation in this song.
Madonna (assaulted)
“Medicine Ball,” Relapse, 2009
Spray perfume in the sauna room, crazy-gluin’ Madonna
To the La-Z-Boy sofa, fold her in two, then sit on her
And this after Madonna stuck up for Eminem in the L.A. Times.
Molly (murdered)
“Lucifer,” The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), 2024
I think someone messed with my meds probably (Yo, who took my—)
I bet it’s my ex, Molly, that I’ve bludgeoned to death
Already severed the head, I smell the fresh scent of flesh rotting
These lines pull double duty, describing a murder and alluding to drug use via the dead woman’s name.
Christopher Reeve (assaulted, pushed into quicksand)
“Medicine Ball,” Relapse, 2009
Put Christopher Reeves on a unicycle with a kickstand
Kick it up and push him and lead him right into quicksand
Here, you need a hand, big man? Grab hold of this branch
With both hands, man, they don’t understand, I’m just a sick man
Now everybody’s pissed at me
Like it’s my fault his name rhymes with so many different words, jeez
For whatever reason, Eminem has a very long history of dissing Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who was famously paralyzed in a horse riding accident in 1995.
Jessica Simpson (assaulted)
“Rain Man,” Encore, 2004
I got it, high-five Nick Lachey
Stuck a pin in Jessica’s head and walked away (Pfffffff)
And as she flew around the room like a balloon, I
Grabbed the last can of chicken tuna out the trash can, and zoom, I
At the time, this was cutting-edge commentary given Simpson’s tuna confusion.
Britney Spears (threats of murder)
“Same Song & Dance,” Relapse, 2009
And just as soon as you pass out in your alphabet soup
I’m ‘bout to make a new outfit out of you
New outfit? Shit, I’ll make a suit out of you, shoot
Now, show me how you move, baby, do how a-you do”
OK, so Em doesn’t actually rap about going Buffalo Bill on Brit. It’s all threats, but it belongs on this list anyway. Despite it all—and this isn’t Eminem’s only disparaging lyric about the pop singer—Spears loves Eminem.
Spider-Man (beat up)
“Rain Man,” Encore, 2004
My spider sense is telling me Spider-Man is nearby
And my plan is to get him next and
Open up a whoop-ass canister
Back in 2004, Spider-Man was played by Tobey Maguire, whom Em would immortalize in song 20 years later.
Stan, his girlfriend, and his unborn child (murder-suicide)
“Stan,” The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000
I just don’t want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
“He’s crazy for real, and he thinks I’m crazy, but I try to help him at the end of the song,” Eminem once said of the titular character of his most famous song in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “It kinda shows the real side of me.”
Susan (overdoses)
“My Fault,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
My God, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
Susan, please wake up, please
Please wake up, what are you doing?!
You’re not dead, you’re not dead
I know you’re not dead
Wake up, Susan, wake up
Oh my God
A fairly whimsical song about a girl suffering a bad drug trip takes a dark turn in the final seconds. While it’s rare, it is possible for someone to die of a shroom overdose, especially if the drugs are laced.
Tonya (abducted, murdered)
“Same Song & Dance,” Relapse, 2009
And sit up front? I’m not asking, it’s a trap
You just got jacked and body snatched, and it’s a wrap
In broad day, and no mask for this attack
I heard ‘em say, ‘Exact opposites attract’
If that’s a fact, it’ll take task force to get you back, come on”
The first of Em’s three victims on the serial killer fantasy “Same Song and Dance” is the fictional Tonya, who’s first introduced in “Tonya (Skit),” which precedes the track. In the verses that follow, Em describes killing Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
Ivanka Trump (murdered, assaulted)
“Framed,” Revival, 2017
Woke up, it was dawn, musta knew somethin’ was wrong
Think I’m becomin’ a monster ‘cause of the drugs that I’m on
Donald Duck’s on, there’s a Tonka Truck in the yard
But dog, how the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?
“Offended,” Revival, 2017
Ivanka, stiff-arm her while I’m hittin’ on Melania
And this song’s for all ya
Eminem doesn’t think much of Donald Trump, so naturally his daughter is a target. The same year Revival dropped, Em delivered a viciously anti-Trump freestyle at the BET Awards.
Unnamed doctor (assaulted with food)
“Elevator,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
I lashed at the doctor in my last operation
Shoved the wiener schnitzel up his ass, hopped away, some-
-body please stop the patient, get the cops to mace him
There are so many questions with this one. What kind of doctor? What type of operation? Why wiener schnitzel?
Unnamed girl in swim class (assaulted)
“As the World Turns,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Grabbed that bitch by her hair, drug her across the ground (Come here, bitch)
And took her up to the highest divin’ board and tossed her down
Sorry coach, it’s too late to tell me stop
While I drop this bitch face down and watch her belly-flop
It all starts when Eminem teases a classmate in PE about her weight. She puts him in a headlock, and he retaliates with the heinous attack described in the lyrics above.
Unnamed kitten (decapitated)
“I’m Back,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
I used to get punked and bullied on my block
‘Til I cut a kitten’s head off and stuck it in this kid’s mailbox
(Hey Ma’, Ma’!)
The real victim here is the mailman who discovered the head.
Unnamed woman at laundromat (murdered)
“As the World Turns,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Whipped that shit out, and ain’t no doubt about it
It hit the ground, caused an earthquake and power outage
I shouted, “Now, bitch, let’s see who gets the best”
Stuffed that shit in, crooked and fucked that fat slut to death
This is the same woman who whooped Em’s ass back at the laundromat. The story ends with grotesque absurdity.
Unnamed girlfriend in “Normal” (assaulted)
“Normal,” Kamikaze, 2018
No wonder we’re partners
Both got hundreds of charges
Domestic disputes but we’ve always
Swept it under the carpet
Even when 9-1-1 gets the call that
I slipped up and busted her jaw with
A Louisville Slugger ‘cause alls it
Really does is make our love
For each other grow stronger
Even by the standards of characters in Eminem songs, this is an unhealthy relationship.
Unnamed girlfriend in “Black Magic” (assaulted)
“Black Magic,” Music To Be Murdered By: Side B, 2020
We’re volatile, I can’t call it, though
It’s like too large a peg, and too small a hole (Yeah)
But she cheats and I catch her like the common cold (Sneeze)
Last time, I broke her collarbone, she’s intolerable (Yeah)
As I say farewell to the love of my life, I cut and I slice
I give her one last hug goodbye
Wipe the blood off my butterfly knife
Watch her fuckin’ die right in front of my eyes
But in hindsight
Think I just wanted to see what her insides look like
This is basically “Normal” with a way bloodier ending.
Unnamed girlfriend in “Love Game” (assaulted, paved over)
“Love Game,” The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013
Snatch that bitch out her car through the window
She screamin’, I body slam her on the cement
Until the concrete gave and created a sinkhole
Buried the stink ho in it, then paid to have the street repaved
Another romance gone monstrously wrong, this time with possible assistance from the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Unnamed woman in “Buffalo Bill” (murdered)
“Buffalo Bill,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
I keep hearing voices, like
“Wouldn’t you like to go and get your butcher knife
And push it right through her while you put your shish kebab skewers into her
Barbecue her, would you do to her what you usually do to a girl whose skin’s newer?”
In a world of sin you are, this is turning into a
Torment tournament of sorts, Christmas ornament you are
I’ll be sure to Ginsu ya ‘til there’s no more skin to ya
On top of everything, Em tortures his victims by doing his Yoda voice.
Unnamed woman at gym (assaulted)
“Hello,” Relapse: Refill, 2009
You see that chick in the gym, checking me out?
Any second I’m ‘bout to stick her neck in my mouth
Or maybe she’ll clock him with a dumbbell.
Unnamed woman at tractor pull (assaulted)
“Asshole,” The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013
I smacked a girl off the mechanical bull at a tractor pull
For thinkin’ we had some magnetic pull
Then screamed, “ICP in this bitch! How do fuckin’ magnets work?”
‘Cause you’re attractive, but we ain’t attractable
That violence is completely uncalled for, so let’s focus instead on the delightfully inane Insane Clown Posse song Eminem is referencing here.
Unnamed women in “Stay Wide Awake” (murdered)
“Stay Wide Awake,” Relapse, 2009
So patient, see, I try to be, but gee, why does she taunt me?
Pulls the drapes and she goes right to sleep and I creep right through the front, see
So blatantly, but silently ‘cause I know that she’s sound ‘sleep
“Who’s wakin’ me so violently, and why’s he on top of me?
He’s rapin’ me,” she tries to scream, “Somebody please get him off me
He’s tapin’ me, he’s bitin’ me, he’s laughin’ like it’s funny”
How did you figure out I was down in your basement? Now ya
Must’ve just heard the sound of my stomach growlin’ from down there
Prowler, there’s no one fouler, bound ya, that’s how they found ya
Face down in the tub, I drown ya with piles of downers around ya
Most people who are fascinated with serial killers listen to true crime podcasts. Eminem has the opportunity to take things a step further, and so he does, for better or worse.
Vanilla Ice (assaulted)
“Role Model,” The Slim Shady LP, 1999
Grabbed Vanilla Ice and ripped out (C’mere) his blond dreads (Fuck you)
Eminem and Vanilla Ice have had low-simmering beef for years. At one point, Ice wanted to box Em, but the fight never came to pass.
Jason Voorhees (assaulted)
“Bagpipes from Baghdad,” Relapse, 2009
Hit Jason in the face with a hockey puck, and
Told him it’s fuckin’ on, man, what the fuck are ya doin’?
“Underground,” Relapse, 2009
Hit Jason Vorhees with a 40; stuck a suppository
Up his ass, and made him tell me a story
Poor Jason’s getting it on both ends from Em.
