* CowardiceCallout: It's very common for Eminem to call his father a coward whenever he is referenced. One of the [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech many insults]] on "Leaving Heaven" has Eminem claim his father's only guts come from his stomach fat.

** On ''Slim Shady EP'' and ''The Slim Shady LP'', some of his songs come under this genre (as something of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness). "Murder, Murder" is about Slim stealing a UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 and some Beanie Babies and getting shot for his trouble; "Rock Bottom" is a more dramatic song about Slim being pushed to crime by crippling poverty; "I'm Shady" is about Slim as a drug dealer. Generally, though, he engages in LowerClassLout behaviour without gangsterism because he doesn't have a gang. (Or any friends).

* BlankStare: While promoting ''The Marshall Mathers LP 2'', Music/{{Eminem}} was doing a persona where he'd spend his TV appearances gawking vacantly at the camera with his eyes blinking slightly out of sync - a sort of parody of [[Music/TheBeastieBoys Ad-Rock]], whose music inspired a lot of the content on the album. Most viewers just reacted with concern for his mental health.

* WholePlotReference: "Bad Guys Always Die" dramatises Dre and Slim meeting, in a lyrical pastiche of Music/BeastieBoys's "Paul Revere".

** Matthew represents an entire litany of Eminem's sins, as the ScriptWank at the end of the song explains, but also the former fans who turned on Eminem for the rotten social politics in his early work.
