Mariah Carey: Eminem's The Warning - Got Ya!

“Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me

Now I’m pissed off….”

From that first line, in the first verse, from his latest release, The Warning,” Eminem, the king of beef, shows that in four years his signature beef-style lyrics has merely been on simmer.

Despite very public denials in 2004 that he’d burned beef in his songs, it appears Mariah Carey’s taunts in her release: “Obsessed,” which some believe is about the rapper, has triggered Eminem to return to his old successful rapping style.

Eminem’s career was built on beef. From day one Eminem came out of the gate embroiled in one public feud after another, taking on the likes of Christine Aguilera, Ja Rule, Clow Posse and anyone else who dared cross his path those early years.

!!ATTENTION!!:

The lyrics of eminem’s new song ain’t pretty. "The Warning" is downright X-rated. You can listen to them in this YouTube Video.




Read "The Warning" lyrics below.
CAUTION: X-rated

Eminem disses Mariah Carey leaving nothing hidden, holding nothing back from their liaison.

From veiled threats of blackmail “Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures”? and “…the voicemails right before you flipped your top,” to giving advice to Mariah’s newest husband, Nick Cannon on how he can end the feud: “Nick, is that your (wife)Well tell her to shut her mouth…”

Eminem’s still got it…
… the beef’s back.!

Listen to :The Warning" here.

By Eminem
Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me
Now I’m pissed off
Sit back and relax homey, kick back and relax, grab a six pack while I kick facts
Yeah Dre’s sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the exact same tat that’s on Nick’s backI’m obsessed now
Oh gee, is that supposd to be me in the video with the goatee
Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the f**k up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild n’ out before Nick
When you was on my d*ck and give you somethin’ to smile about
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don’t want Nick finding out
You probably think cuz it’s been so long if i had something on you I woulda did it by now
On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the f**k I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do and that goes for you too, Nick, fa**o t
You think I’m scared of you?
You gonna ruin my career you better get one
Like I’m a sit and fight with you over some sl*t bitch c**t who made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once
Yeah, what you gonna say? I’m lucky? Tell the public that I was so ugly that you f***ing had to be drunk to f**k me?
Second base? What the f**k you tell Nick, punk?
In the second week we was dry humping. It’s gotta count for something.
Listen, girly. Surely you don’t want me to talk about how I nutted early cuz I ejaculated early and bust all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel you’re stomachs curling. Or maybe you do.
But if I’m embarrassing me, I’m embarrassing you and don’t you dare say it isn’t true.
As long as the song’s getting airplay I’m dissing you.
I’m a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued.
I was gonna stop at 16. That is 32. This is 34 bars. We ain’t even a third of the way through.
Damn, Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who?
Oh did I say ”wh*re”, Nick? I meant a liar too.
Like I’ve been goin off on you all this time for no reason.
Girl you out yo alcoholic mind. Check ya wine cellar Look at all the amounts of all the wine.
Like I sit around and think about you all the time.
I just think this is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme.
But f*** it now I’m about to draw the line.
And for you to cross it that’s a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb.

I can describe areas of your house that you wouldn’t find on an episode of Cribs
A blubba load ribs if I hear another word so don’t go opening your jibscuz every time you do it’s just another load of fibs
I ain’t saying this shit again, ho, you know what it is.
It’s a warning shot for before I blow up ya whole spot
Call my bluff and I’ll release every f***ing thing I got
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
When me and Luis were tryin’ to stick two CD’s in the same spot
(Slim Shady I love you)
I love you too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say?
(It’s nothing)
Guess what I’ll do?
Is refresh your memory when you said ”I want you”
Now should I keep going or should we call truce?
(You think you’re cute, right? Hahaha)
You bet your sweet ass I do
(I’m Mary Poppins, b)
And I’m Superman, mmm(Mary P. Slim Shady)
Comin’ at you
So if you’ll still be my (babygirl)
Then I’ll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.)
Yeah, I’m right here
(You like this)
Nope. Not anymore, Dear.
It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life)
But I’m movin on with mine
Nick, is that your (wife)
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I’ll leave her alone
If she don’t (sing this script?) then I’m a just keep goin
(I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann’s saying ”cut the tape, cut the tape”. Knife!)

Smart Power Strip
Reduces Home Energy Bills

The typical American home has 40 products constantly drawing power, and those products — when not in use — represent 10 percent of residential energy consumption, reported energy experts at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California.

These "Vampire'' or "Phantom'' loads — is the standby electrical power that televisions, microwaves, computers and other appliances draw while plugged in unless fully switched off.


Treehugger Tv's ghoulish look at “vampire” loads.

"Any gadget you can turn on that goes into full-power mode immediately takes idling energy to initiate, and you'll pay the price. It guarantees you'll have a vampire presence," said Tom Reddoch, executive director of energy utilization for the Electric Power Research Institute, a non-profit funded by the electric utility industry that conducts research on key issues facing the power industry. "We're the fast-food generation. We want everything now."

Smart Power Strip
So if you have an insatiable appetite for possessing the next best, newest, electronic appliance, gadget or device no trouble. Experts advocate the use of a smart strip energy saving power strip to help you shave dollars of your energy bill, while prolonging the life of your appliances.

A smart power strip is essentially a “smart” home surge protector that automatically turns off power to all devices plugged into it when it senses they aren't in use. There are various types of energy-saving power strips, as an example, some power strips automatically switches devices on and off and uses less than one watt of power when fully energized, and reduces the wattage even more — less than 1/4 of a watt — when the automatically switched outlets are off.

There are smart power strip models specifically for powring computer equipment and peripherals like monitors, speakers, and cell chargers that when programmed automatically shut everything off when your computer falls into standby mode. Excellent for when you turn your computer off at the end of the day.

Initially, the cost of a smart power strip may be a turn off, but consider, along with surge protection for your appliances and devices you'll be increasing its life usage, while saving so much more on your energy bill over its lifetime.

Here are some more tips on how to reduce your home energy bill.

So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009 Tickets

Tickets for So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009 are flying off the shelf after Wednesday's extraordinary show.

The Fox reality show's 100th episode filled with more than the usual "drama" has increased the demand for So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009 Tickets.

On the show, actress Katie Holmes pouted, preened, posed, and peeped all in a valiant attempt to channel the late Judy Garland in A Star Is Born. Enticingly dressed in sexy black, one couldn’t help but root for poor Katie, her lusciously, alluring legs, inspiring hope that somewhere before the end of the song, her lips would catch up with the words. Alas, but to no avail and executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe have come Twittering in Katie’s defence. Read more about Nigel in the Los Angeles Times.

The night before, Melissa and Ade performed a Tyce Diorio profoundly, emotional contemporary piece inspired by breast cancer leaving almost everyone present in tears, the judges and the audience and Melissa, herself. The performance left many at home speechless and breathless with empathy.



What would have been nobler that if the producers of So You Think You Can Dance had thought to include a 1-800 number for donations to a Cancer foundation, introducing a whole new target audince to giving? After all, the producers did know in advance about the routine for one whole week, enough time to cordinate a fundraising drive.

The marriage of a reality show and realty would have been a real sweet union.

Can't you just see it? The charity angle continuing during So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009. What an added boost it wold have been for the So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009 tour tickets...
...and the charity.

Shame! What a missed opportunity.

Evian Roller Skating Babies

A television commercial which appears to feature roller-skating babies has become an internet sensation.



The special effects video of infants in diapers and vests performing skating stunts to hip-hop has been watched over four million times on YouTube alone in the first week it was posted. The video, ranked 3rd overall on YouTube that week (the week of Michael Jackson’s funeral) after two MJ videos.

A child's first steps are a proud moment for any parent but the daredevil 'roller-babies' leap over park fences and railings as well as each other in a city park.

After pressing play on a giant ghetto blaster that is bigger than them, the Evian roller skating babies also execute all manner of flips and somersaults.

The troupe of 96 computer animated roller babies groove to a remix of the Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight in a city park.

The 60-second commercial was shot at London’s Pinewood Studios as part of mineral water brand Evian's 'Live Young' international TV and web video campaign.

The Evian babies were last screened 11 years ago performing an underwater ballet.

Evian's worldwide director of brand Michael Aidan said that the firm was trying to sell drinkers a “dream.”

He said: “In the majority of countries in recent years, our communication has been very fact-based.

“But consumers expect more from a big brand emotion, dream. This is what we want to achieve - hence this breakaway and back to roots campaign.”

Just in case some of you think the commercial is real, CBS news showed how Evian made the commercial - it is 100% computer generated. Professional skaters were used then formed the basis on which the baby bodies were rendered. The only real thing in the entire commercial is the faces of the babies which were pasted on the computer-generated bodies.

T. Boone Pickens Plan

Despite saying that he would be abandoning plans to build the world's largest wind farm in Pampa, Texas, billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens said that his plan to raise energy awareness in America has "made great progress."
The renewable energy advocate discusses the success of his campaign.

"We elevated [the cause] as we wanted to do, into the presidential debate," Pickens told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Chris Cuomo.

He said that President Obama's campaign pledge to reduce dependency on foreign oil helped his cause.

“In 10 years, we will not be importing oil from the Mideast," Pickens said, recalling Obama's words.

It was exactly one year ago today that Pickens had a lot of people scratching their heads.

The Texas billionaire oilman had become an unlikely renewable energy advocate, and unveiled his massive mission on "GMA." The Pickens plan was a $60 million ad campaign to get America to kick its foreign oil addiction by switching to natural gas for the short term and wind for the long term.

Learn more about the Pickens Plan

In the 1950s, Pickens used $2,500 of borrowed money to form Mesa Petroleum, anoil and gas exploration company that led to his fortune.

Pickens said he's pleased that there are provisions for wind and solar power in the climate bill that has passed the House of Representatives and is headed for the Senate.

"We also have bill 1835, which is the House bill, introduced by [Rep. Dan] Boren … and that has the natural gas piece in it, where we're going to now use natural gas in place of foreign oil."

The bill would extend tax credits for the production of vehicles that use alternative fuels, such as natural gas, introduce new tax credits and require 50 percent of all new vehicles purchased or placed in service by the U.S. government by Dec. 31, 2014, to be capable of operating on compressed or liquefied natural gas.

Last year, Pickens said he hoped to make Pampa, Texas, "the wind capital of the world." He said he was aware that a lack of transmission lines or power grids to distribute wind power would pose a challenge but hoped that wind would ultimately replace natural gas as the energy source for many of the country's power plants.

"We've got more wind than anybody else in the world, just like they have more oil," Pickens said at the time. "I think that's the future of this country."
