Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour.
If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
Despite what I say in my songs, its never okay for a man to put his hands on a female.
My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
Follow me and do exactly what the song says Smoke weed, take pills, drop outta school, kill people And drink and jump behind the wheel like it was still legal.
The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.
Slim Shady is just the evil thoughts that come into my head. Things I shouldn't be thinking about. Not to be gimmicky, but people should be able to determine when I'm serious and when I'm f... around. That's why a lot of my songs are funny. I got a warped sense of humor I guess.
You know how it is - you make songs, and as you make the new ones, the old ones get old and you throw them out.
You're not going to hit it every single time, and that's why, when I record an album, I do probably close to 50 songs. Each song I record has to get better. If it's not better than the last song that I made, it'll usually linger for a couple of months, and then it'll be put on the backburner, and then there'll be another song that I do, and then it often doesn't make it on the album.
If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that lifestyle, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.
With every song, all the elements have to work. First, the beat has to be great - you start there. You start with the music, and then the ideas follow. Then you start thinking of rhymes, and then you record it, and sometimes - this happens to me a lot - it doesn't come out as good as it did in my head when I first wrote it.
It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn't recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober.
I have a hard time memorizing stuff. I'm always in the process of writing a new song, so trying to learn a new one takes a minute.
