Eminem and Rihanna….what? Right from the start I had some kind of a shock. Eminem and Rhianna singing together??? I said ok, maybe it’s not THAT bad. It’s worse then I ever imagined Eminem would get. Everyone is going insane for this new song, I turn the tv on and Bum! there it is on Mtv, at the radio and aaaaaaaallll over the internet. So well, I said it deserves a little more attention.
If we take a look at the video, he is a jerk who beats his lover, she fights back because that’s human nature and after they break each other’s faces he gets mad because she is leaving him…..hmmmm. Sure, why would you want to get out of a relationship that is like a boxing ring? “Life is no Nintendo game…” well, from the video we understand something else, guys. Then, after we see the two of them fighting, screaming and hitting, “Juliette” leaves “Romeo” but at the same time she loves the way he lies, she loves the way she burns, she loves the way it hurts…so basically she asks for more pain, that sounds like an S&M relationship to me! The part that I most “like” is the “window pain” thing….what??? You beat the shit out of her, then you feel “window pain” and ask her back because….?! Oh, I know! Because you couldn’t find another idiot to take all your shit and punching therapy. Oh and the explanation that we get comes at the end of the song : “this is what happens when a tornado meets a volcano…”, dear Eminem, trust me, when a tornado meets a volcano it doesn’t happen too much between the two of them because no one would care about some taugh wind when they have lava on the ground. But “la crème de la crème” comes when he promises “If she ever tries to fucking leave again, I’mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire!”…. have you ever heard something more romantic, more sensitive and more sweet? Hard to believe…But that’s what happens when “TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT” or when “A helpless stupid woman meets a jerk who steals alcohol from stores and then he gets home with a desire of killing her”…THAT, my friends has not a single thing in common with love. And if the purpose of this song was to give an explanation to what they call “Taugh love”., well, taugh love is something very different….
The msg of this song is as simple as it is wrong : You are unhappy? Does your man have no respect for you? Does he lie to you?…You fucking hate him? Then, you should stay together because that’s the way people are dealing with love. They are punching each other, they are fucking their brains out…they are trying to reach their limits…NOT!!!
So I let you listen and I am sorry for the ones who love this song but…it is one of the worst songs Eminem ever had. Rhianna lets say she is used to that….not to mention that the song even applies to her if we recall that she was beaten by her boyfriend and after being in the hospital and getting the police involved, she said she forgives him….somehow I expected more from Marshall Matters III.
