April 5, 2023

"Under the Influence" by Eminem (ft. D12) is a song that portrays the rappers' lifestyles under the influence of different substances. The lyrics discuss themes of drugs, violence, and general reckless behavior. It is possible that the song is meant to exaggerate the rappers' actions and the effects of the drugs they consume for shock value.

The chorus suggests that Eminem wrote the song while high and doesn't care if people don't like it because of its content. The first verse describes Eminem's drug use, specifically referencing Vicodin pills. He likens himself to a mummy fighting bright light and stinging everything in the hospital like a wasp. The verse ends with violent imagery of stabbing someone with a knife handle.

The second verse by Swifty features more drug-related themes, including selling weed that is laced with another substance. He also discusses violence and the fear he instills in those around him, even stating that they'll fight at a Million Man March.

Bizarre's verse touches on his compulsive lying and reckless behavior, such as setting his preacher on fire, having sex with the superintendent's daughter, and attacking a woman who asks for his autograph.

Proof's verse expands on the drug and violence themes, with him referencing bringing guns to a "Stop the Violence" rally and committing multiple crimes.

Kuniva's verse describes him strangling rappers and physically attacking them, as well as shooting up homes and killing people. He also references a big Chinese man named Bolo in a somewhat nonsensical line.

Kon Artis and Eminem's verses are focused more on their pasts and criminal behavior, specifically selling drugs and getting kicked out of summer camp. They also reference violent actions like drive-bys and smacking a preacher during a sermon.

Overall, the song is a collection of exaggerated tales of drug use and violent behavior, with the chorus suggesting that the rappers don't care what people think of their actions because they were high when they wrote it.
