Rap-Up.com || Mariah Carey Throws Punches at Eminem

The stilettos are about to come off. Mariah Carey is firing back at a certain “Obsessed” rapper on her new single.

The pop diva may be giving Eminem a taste of his own medicine on “Obsessed,” the first single off her new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Mariah and Eminem were rumored to have had a romantic relationship in the past. Since then, the rapper has made songs about their alleged affair, most recently on his new album Relapse (“Bagpipes From Baghdad”). The “Touch My Body” songstress has remained relatively quiet about the topic until now, despite her husband Nick Cannon’s outspokenness.

The-Dream, who helped pen the new single, spoke to HipHopDX about the answer record. “I don’t think anybody is going to expect her to come out punching like she is going to come out,” he said. “It’s going to light the blogs up too because you don’t know who she talking about, what she talking about, but she talking about something. Mariah Carey has a record, and somebody’s going to be very upset.”

Mariah recorded a track called “Clown” for 2002’s Charmbracelet that addressed her relationship with Eminem. “You should have never intimated we were lovers/ When you know very well we never even touched each other,” she sang.

Find out who’s subject to Mariah’s fury when “Obsessed” officially goes to radio on Tuesday, June 16.

as a fan or both artists, i say mariah and her hubby need to take a joke. eminem is a comedic rapper, he says things to get a rise & seriously if he can rhyme something with your name hell put it in his song… just look at christopher reeves. im sure he didnt do anything to em but his name is in many songs… more than mariahs name. get over it already.

Maybe Mariah and her hubby feel the need to respond the same way Eminem feels the need to insult people in his lyrics? if someone called you a c*nt and a wh*re, you would either walk away and ignore it or fight back… Mariah and Nick obviously feel it necessary to respond. good for them!

Eminem wouldnt call Beyonce a c*nt or a wh*re because he knows he would get Jiggas meat whistle slapped on his lips. Em only attacks women or individuals he knows are not brave. More power to Nick and MiMi

Mariah’s single with Dream bombed. Look at her movie. This girl is lucky he decided to mention her again. She jumped at this opportunity quickly. First single? Eminem will be flattered. Not even Eminem dedicated his first single to one celeb. Now he will have one.

OMG!! Who still cares about this ish? I’m sure Eminem doesn’t. I mean after Nick Cannon went crazy on him, i’m sure all he did was boost Ems album sales. I mean come on Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have become laughing stocks in the music industry, they have cash but no respect. Whereas Ems fanbase as been solid ever since 1999. The man is respected by millions, that’s why he can get away with what he does. Mariah and Nick need to learn to take everything and brush it off like everyother self respecting celeb that em has dissed has done. And to people saying Em needs to go after “real emcees”, Eminem is an elite. Jay Z, Nas, Andre 300. Jada Kurrupt, Redman are elites … Elites respect eachother. They don’t get into petty fueds with eachother. Also to people saying Eminem only ever disses celebs and his mother. You have obviously never really listened to his music, you’ve only ever heard the singles so don’t give opinions on an artist you know nothing about. Whatever Mariah Carey comes out with Em will destroy 10x harder. He may not have the god given talent that she was given to sing but he has the god given talent to write the way he does. I mean, he failed school yet he can twist the english language the way no one else can. That deserves repsect.

Eminems already said that the record was harsh and he’s over that ish so Mariah Carey of course being the attention seeking wannabe 19 year old needs to let go as well. This ish is just a way for her to get talked about again. I mean really, no one cares about Mariah, let alone her peadophilic relationship with Nick Cannon.

Mariah’s been silent for too long, it’s only fair that she puts him in his place. He wanted the attention, he got it. And don’t be fooled by the “raw lyrics” of Eminem, at the end of the day, he’s a broken and INSECURE human being putting a face on. How long is he gonna b*tch about their so called relationship? She’s married and happy and he’s obviously jealous. I can’t wait for this song.

NICK AND MARIAH’S LEVEL OF RESPECT WILL NEVER BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH FEMINEM.LAUGHING STOCK ALL OVER THE WORLD IS EMINEM WITH A MALE BUTT ON HIS MOUTH ON LIVE TV.(LAST GRADE OF RESPECT).
HE KNEW HE WAS GONE,SO HE HAD TO SAY ANYTHNG ABOUT NICK AND MARIAH TO MAKE CHEAP PUBLICITY. THE FAN BASE DROP CAUSE HE SOLD LESS ON THIS ALBUM IN FIRST WEEK THAN THE LAST(CHECK YOUR FACTS).HE WAS EVEN LUCKY THAT HE AND THE OTHER GUY SAID THEY WERE TOOLS TO NICK AND MARIAH AFTER NICK WENT HARD ON HIM.
IF YOU DONNOT CARE ABOUT NICK AND MARIAH,WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THEM.NO REAL MAN MAKES CAREER BY GOING AFTER WOMEN.SO RATHER THAN HIM CRYING ABOUT MARIAH,HE SHOULD GO AFTER MALE MCEES OR SHOULD STAY WITH HIS MILLION OF FANS(EVERY STAR HAS THEIRS) AND KEEP PPLE’S NAME OUT OF HIS SONGS.
WHEN ITS COMES TO RESPECT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY,LETS SEE CRIMES WITH POLICE, DRUGS,DIVORCE,BABY MAMA DRAMA,INTELIGENT,CONFIDENT, HAPPY MARRIAGE,NUMBER OF HITS SINGLES E.T.C. BRING OUT ANYBODY’S CV THAT WILL MATCH NICK AND MARIAH.
FEMINEM AND HIS FANS NEED PRAYER. SPENCER FROM THE HILLS IS ARTIS OF THE DECADE AND BEST RAPPER ALIVE.
NICK AND MARIAH KEEP IT UP AND LET THEM HATE.THEY HAVE HEARD IT ALL,WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY HATERS.

If Mariah deserves everything she gets from em,
and there is no comparison in their careers as eminem actually made a box office hit and mariah failed in that department also her music career has never been that great she only has the money she has because of who she married and come on the woman is a joke, she is an easy target for eminem.

MC is just what she iS cauSe she has the moneY ?Thats fucking ridiCulouS !!

You Eminem stanS are just pure jokeS..
Fo reaL.

She already dismiSsed him with Clown in 2003 and Im sure he went crazy cause at least she wrote a smart song about her and him without feeling the need to split insults and to cross over his name.

Poeple you betta get real..
MC has more Honors and ReSpect in tha BizZz than Eminem.

First..he won’t neva achieved what she has done regarding sales and recordS..
And then …he doeSn’t have the talent she haS..She’S a BuSineSs Woman.

He ain’t nothing on her…

Em just recently broke a record of fastest selling artist and beat the beatles, so all the corny mariah carey fans can stick that in their pipes and smoke it. dont get me wrong she did have a powerful voice once upon a time b4 she broke down but she is now struggling to keep up. Eminem is a talent that is very rare to find, nobody can freestyle like that. cant wait to hear em’s response to the cheesy lines mc releases, gonna be awesome dude’s!!!

Mariah Carey has influenced people all over the world for DECADES, without having to insult her mama and diss several popstars just for the sake of keeping her name in the press. Mariah Carey has been in the game for 19 f*cking years, she’s the Queen Diva of all Divas, and yall delusional Eminem fans need to give respect where respect is due.

E=MC (Eminem=Mariah Carey) to be squared off when Mariahs “Obsessed” hits the airwaves June 16th/09. As a Mariah fan I have to give the utmost respect and support for my girl. Undisputedly talented, gorgeous and finacially sucessful. I would’nt have even taken the time to get off of the rolly coaster ride of a sucessful career to acknowledge the likes of Eminem in the first place. (having dated him in the past). Was it a mistake? Its obvious they both agree given the current “Nonsense” there both entangled in. This business is is very fickle, here today and gone tomorrow. And everyone needs to fight to stay in the game. But at what cost? Trash talking and pillow talk? Come on Eminem! I’m not a fan but from what your fans say about you and your career, It seems that you are definatly an “Artist” at what you do! But people get tired at some point when all one does is produce material directed at slander and jokes. Remember Weird Al Yankovitch! He’s already coverd the market on that one… but take notice it was all in the name of FUN!. Eminem is talented But maybe he should just direct more of his energy, into gaining the respect of EVERY FAN, perhaps this will give my girl something to really worry about! Good luck to both!

WAYNE SOLD 1M FIRST WEEK W/OUT TRASH TALKING OR ATTACKING WOMEN NOR FREE CONCERT ON ABLUM RELEASE DAY. HE CAN BREAKE WHATEVER HE WANTS BY BUILDING CAREER ON ATTACKING WOMEN IS FAKE AND WACK. HIS MOM HAD SAID 8MILE WAS FAKE AND ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS BS. FEMINEM SHOULD MANNED UP AND DO AN ABLUM W/OUT ATTACKING WOMEN AND LETS SEE HIS TALENT.

I’ve noticed that FEMinem fans are just as tacky as he is. Oh and did I mention delusional?

Oh so when FEMinem disses mariah, it’s ok because he’s a “comedic” rapper and it’s just soooo funny, right? But when Mariah comes out with an agressive track that we haven’t heard or know who all it’s about, it can’t be funny or just for fun..

hmm.. double standards much? Plus, mariah already did “Clown”.. Mariah gon call it like she see it. Like when boxer’s take stuff to the ring, she takin it to a track.

Just know that the industry basically panned Feminem’s past era. He sells on bullshit and blind followers.

Eminem is a monster, who has yet to taste defeat. Not one person has what it takes to do so. The only thing Eminem struggles for is inspiration, cuz the world dont tick on his level. I take Ems word, Em could have a million better chicks than Mimi. Mariah could only be so luck to sleep with the Elvis Presley of our Generation.

Elvis Presley of our generation? Clearly, somebody’s sniffing coke. Elvis Presley had DECADES of career, and his music changed the music game. Eminem didn’t bring anything that had never been done in hiphop and his career is still young. Fans are delusional. Mariah as 19 years of career under her belt. Eminem needs to chill and find someone else to play with…like Jay-Z, oops my bad he’s a rapper, and Em doesn’t go after people who could f*ck him up lyrically.

MARIAH CAREY IS A FLOP..HER ALBUM,MOVIES,SINGLES, FLOPPED ..getting married to nicj=k was a failed publicty stunt to amp up her carreer whcih didnt work..so she doing this for publicity..

Mariah has too much class & no time for that flip-flop wannaB cracker. No, I’m not racist but I mean be who are, accept & cherish it; U can’t force something, someone or yourself into where you, it or they don’t belong. Anyway MC, if this is true she’s wasting her time & she’s better than this. The definition of “Obsessed” shouldn’t be a diss. It rather should be an anthem verbalizing about Domestic Violence/Racism/Cheating-Amours/Redemption & Revenge/etc. For ex like LeToya’s “Not Anymore”…great record and message!

I love MC & I’ll always support her but after the lackluster of E=MC2 (an average MC LP wouldve performed better) I don’t deem being petty and holding a grudge will push her to new heights & then being remorseful cuz U realize your “implementations” were astray. IDK but best luck to MC & LeToya!!!!

Little Marshal needs to grow up, he needs to stop blaming everyone for things that has gone wrong in his relationship. Why is it such a big deal to let the world know that he was in a relationship with mariah carey, is he so piss off that Mariah would not give him any? It sounds to me eminem is sexually frustrated that is why he is so cranking.
