** In 2000, Eminem put out a Ken Kaniff skit on his own album ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP'' featuring Kaniff receiving enthusiastic oral sex from two men at the same time, who Kaniff refers to as J and Shaggy, the names of the two members of Music/InsaneClownPosse. 19 years later, ICP released "[[Music/FearlessFredFury Be Safe]]", in which Shaggy gets so into his rap that he blurts out, "[[HoYay I might suck a dick]]--", followed by a RecordNeedleScratch as Shaggy realizes what he just rapped and then says, "--[[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday uh, I would never suck a dick]]!"

** "Eminem is [[Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower Sauron]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]It was initially reported by fan social media accounts that the SDCC 2022 trailer shows off Sauron's "Annatar" guise, a fair-skined elf. Unlike prior depictions of Annatar like in ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar'', ''The Rings of Power''[='=]s version supposedly had short hair and an appearance that some critics unflatteringly compared to rapper Music/{{Eminem}}. Later it was clarified that it wasn't Sauron but an original character, with "Partings" revealing the character to be a woman called the Dweller.[[/labelnote]]

*** Emi specifically threatens that Moby will "get stung by Obie [Trice]", which is hilarious in its own right given that Moby remains a successful and well-liked musician whereas Obie Trice's career never took off and he's only really remembered for his appearance in "Without Me".

** "Murder, Murder" off ''Music/TheSlimShadyEP.'' The second stanza sees him looting a house for, among other things, a UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 (to sell it at triple the price once shops run out) and some Beanie Babies.

** "Ass Like That" mentions Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen who haven't been very mainstream in several years, plus they're mentioned to be young adults, and even more noticeably mentions Music/HilaryDuff is underage.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Eminem was responsible for making white-rappers to be taken seriously after Music/VanillaIce and other one-hit-wonders made them into a joke, as he was also praised for his technical ability and highly offensive and disturbing lyrics.



* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Eminem was responsible for making white-rappers to be taken seriously after Music/VanillaIce and other one-hit-wonders made them into a joke, as he was also praised for his technical ability and highly offensive and disturbing lyrics. Far too many rappers, both white and non-white rappers, have taken a cue from Eminem even since, such as Music/{{Macklemore}}, Music/TylerTheCreator, Music/{{Hopsin}}, Music/{{Logic}}, Music/TechN9ne, and the equally-as-influential Music/LilWayne. Despite all this, Eminem ''still'' remains the best-selling rapper of ''all-time''.

** And other PeriodPiece songs can find resonance even today. His blasting of the hipocrasy of the US government and the country as a whole on "White America" has, to some, seemed prescient.
