20 Of Eminem’s Best Celebrity Name Drops

It’s not that Eminem doesn’t like you, it’s just that he hates you. Okay “hate” is a strong word, but there is a lot of misguided-slash-guided anger towards many a celebrity woven throughout Eminem’s bars. Perhaps he’s not angry at all; he may just give zero fucks about whether or not a celebrity cares that he aggressively throws their name into rap’s conversation.

We’re not talking about rapper beefs either. These are jabs at celebrities and singers who Eminem has named as his targets. Some are no longer alive to contest his references (R.I.P.), while others are very much still are around. With rapper beefs aside, check out some new and old name drops from Eminem in his songs and be thankful your name isn’t in there somewhere. Or is it? --KI

“My favorite color is red, like the blood shed from Kurt Cobain's head, when he shot himself dead.” – “Cum On Everybody”
This isn’t the most savory way we want to remember the lead singer of Nirvana, but Eminem doesn’t really care what you think. You’ve gotta admit though, these are some pretty graphics lines. Wow.

“All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo with the ugly Kardashian / Lamar, oh sorry yo, we done both set the bar low.” – “Berzerk”
Poor Khloe Kardashian-Odom. Just when she thought she escaped the “ugly” Kardashian tag, Eminem comes right back around to resurrect it. Then he throws Lamar Odom into the mix and claims they both have low standards. Ouch.

“60 sluts, all of them dying from asphyxia / After they sip piss through a Christopher Reeves sippy cup.” – “Underground”
Ok, Christopher Reeve gets name checked on several different Eminem songs. He has the late Superman dancing, sitting, and every which way. In the track “Rain Man,” Em claims he has no beef with the actor, but it’s like damn are you sure?

“Damn Slim, Mariah played you/Mariah who?” – “The Warning”
It’s no surprise now that Mariah Carey and Eminem had a “thing,” that resulted in Carey releasing the song “Obsessed.” Eminem fired back and then some on “The Warning.” This is a gentle line compared to some stuff he said.

“Skibbedy-bebop, a-Christopher Reeve/Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin’ some trees.” – “Who Knew”
See? More Christopher Reeve angst, but this one is about poor Sonny Bono who died during a skiing accident when he hit a tree. Wonder what Cher thinks of this line right here?

“So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears?/Yo Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs. So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst, and hear ‘em argue over who she gave head to first.” – “The Real Slim Shady”
It seems like “The Real Slim Shady” had tons of shots fired all over it. In this line, Eminem entangles himself in the past baby beef between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Then he takes it a step further and throws Christina’s exes into the mix. Drama.

“In my Spiderman 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.” – “Taking My Ball”
Kim Kardashian is another favorite reference point for Eminem. He even calls her a man on one track, but here he’d like to do her with a strap-on. Apparently the force will give her the oomph to run a triathlon. Nice.

“Hey, it's me, Versace! Whoops, somebody shot me! And I was just checking the mail, get it? Checking the male?” – “Criminal”
So 16 years ago, Versace was shot in front of his house, and Eminem makes a play on words that he was checking the mail, but also possibly checking out a guy. Sounds like there will never be a Versace endorsement in Eminem’s future.

“Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't/But it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose.” – “The Real Slim Shady”
Remember Tom Green? Well, he apparently had more leverage on television back when he had The Tom Green Show. Eminem seemed to have had a problem with that, but he should feel better now because where is Tom Green?

“And that goes for Nick too/Faggot you think I'm scared of you?” – “The Warning”
So yeah, as previously mentioned, Eminem went in on Mariah Carey (pun intended). He took the rant further on the track by bringing Nick Cannon into it. In fact, there’s a lot more shots fired at Nick than MC on this one.

“Chris Kirkpatrick you can get your ass kicked/Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards.” – “Without Me”
In like two bars, Eminem threatened to kick NSync’s Chris Kirkpatrick’s ass along with Limp Bizkit. Em’s made some jabs at boy bands in the past, like the Backstreet Boys, so this is expected. He also hates Fred Durst so there’s that too.

“And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie/You 36-year-old baldheaded fag, blow me.” – “Without Me”
The very next line he attacks Moby. But wait, Moby isn’t even deserving of an Eminem ass-whooping. He lets Obie Trice handle it. Making one your posse members handle your biz sounds like Moby isn’t worth his time. After all that Moby said about Em, he probably isn’t. Obie has the time though.

“That would mean I lie and get fucked more than the President does/Hilary Clinton tried to slap me and call me a pervert/I ripped her fucking tonsils out and fed her sherbet.” – “Role Model”
It’s safe to say that even the former President isn’t safe. Not even the First Lady, especially when Clinton’s Presidency was riddled with scandal. It’s like a recipe for the perfect song for Eminem to play all over.

“This coward that we have empowered, this is Bin Laden/Look at his head nodding.” – “Mosh”
Continuing the Presidential theme, here’s a mention to Bush and then Bin Laden. While Eminem is usually one to lace his rhymes with celebrity jabs, this one is a little more politically driven, with some social commentary if you think about it.

“So the vocal cords were swelling, and her voice was more hoarser than Tori Spelling's face.” – “Love Game”
Another play on words for Mr. Shady, comparing Tori Spelling’s face to that of a horse. Yikes.

“Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz/It'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this.” – “I’m Back”
Back when J-Lo and Diddy were a thing, Eminem came through to let Puff know he wanted to tap his girl if given the opportunity. She did end up with a white boy following that love affair, but it turned out to be Ben Affleck. Whoops.

“Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst in the door/And started whooping her ass worse than before.” – “The Real Slim Shady”
Nothing like a good reference on either domestic violence or S&M to really get your day going. Eminem throws darts at Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee on this one in all of their dysfunctional leather swinged goodness.

“I've done touched on everything but little boys/That's not a stab at Michael/That's just a metaphor/I'm just psycho.” – “Just Lose It”
Technically, by making a reference to child molestation and then claiming it’s not aimed at the late Michael Jackson kind of makes it about Michael Jackson in a way, no? Let’s not forget the video either.

“I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley, to do Black Music so selfishly.” – “Without Me”
Elvis Presley is a controversial topic when it comes to Black Music, given his success stemming from replicating it. Eminem puts himself right into the conversation and claims to be the worst since Elvis. Oh good.

“Stuck a pin in Jessica's head and walked away/And as she flew around the room like a balloon/I grabbed the last can of chicken tuna out the trash can.” – “Rain Man”
Remember way back when, Jessica Simpson thought “Chicken Of The Sea” tuna was actually chicken? Yeah, that’s what this is about. Oh, and he’s also calling her an airhead.
