Talk:Business (song)

Untitled

"..but we, ain't fuckin' around round here, yo Dre? can i get a hell yeah?..." Is Eminem talking about Snoop Dogg? Can anyone confirm?

Disses?

I might be wrong, and maybe this has been discussed/solved elsewhere but is the word "disses" really appropriate for an encyclopedic entry? Personally, I am thinking not. While it is an obvious colloquialism to me, the author, and perhaps the vast majority of music listeners, it is still just that - a colloquialism. ; perhaps the line "song contains many disses directed towards them" would be better said: "song contains many lyrics attacking them" or "song makes many references toward them. I'm not going to make the change myself (at this moment) but leave it for consideration, if uncontested I will change it later. --Theava (talk) 14:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm

Eminem does NOT poke fun at ICP just by saying "shut this shit down on these clowns". He's talking about the majority of the Rap industry in general. - Which is what the entire song focuses on.Tainted Drifter 17:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

You're right. If that really were an ICP diss it would be completely out of place. I'm editing it out.Avenger1000 23:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Original 8-mile song

OK so back before eminem's movie had a name at all, I heard rumours floating around that this was going to be "the theme song to eminem's movie". Any truth to this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.44.134.8 (talk) 05:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

No there is no truth to that. --Theava (talk) 14:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

It's Andre 3000 not Dr. Dre.

It is easy to mistake "Dre" for Dr. Dre. On the page it states that "Eminem talks about him and Dr. Dre working together like Batman and Robin". That's wrong. In the song he often refers to "Dre" as being a sort of Robin, but he is not talking about Dr. Dre. He is talking about Andre 3000. This is shown in the beginning of the song when Andre 3000 says "Marshall, sounds like an SOS." to that Eminem replies "Holy unlyrical lyrics Andre, you're fucking right!" If you do not believe me, feel free to look at Andre 3000's Wikipedia page. It specifically states in the background information section that he is also known as "Dre". If you still don't believe me, go to azlyrics.com and search Business. It will show you the lyrics say Andre, and refer to Andre 3000 and not Dr. Dre.
