Mariah fires back on Eminem on new single: Obsessed!

So Mariah's back. A mere 14 month after her platinum selling E=MC2, with the hit lead single Touch My Body that became Mariah's 18th number one hit, tying her with Elvis and leaving only the Beetles with more number ones than her. This time she returns with a racy response to what we'd assume Eminem has been saying and especially the song Bagpipes from Baghdad, where he goes on about wanting Mariah back, calling Nick Cannon, her husband a punk and other unsavory words, he references one of Mariah's ex's as well Luis Migel, but this is all made very irrelevant with Mariah's hard hitting response - the best part is she manages to maintain an element of fun & randomness, she opens the song with a quote from the chick flick, Mean Girls, 'I was like' why are you so obsessed with me?''. The blows start dropping from the very first line, and they dont stop. There are so many lines i love, i'd end up quoting the entire song, so i'll just add the lyrics on here so you can read them for yourself. She manages to deliver these with ease, instead of sounding angry she merely sounds bemused. Sung in a auto-tune tinged voice, and layers synth beat, the song is pure radio magic, and I know it'll be a hit - Her album titled Memoirs of an Imperect Angel drops Aug 25th, which means we'll probably be getting a second single before the release date - oh its on, the Mariah train has begun and its not about to stop anytime soon.
OBSESSED
(Mariah Carey - C. Tricky Stewart - Terius "The-Dream" Nash)

I was like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?"
So oh oh oh oh x4
Will the real MC please, step to the mike?
So oh oh oh oh x4
All up in the blogs - Saying we met at the bar
When I don't even know who you are
Saying we up in your house - Saying I'm up in your car
But you in LA and I'm out at Jermaine's.
I'm up in the A - You so so lame
and no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed. It must be the E
Cause you be popping- hood
You get it popping, Oh

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you're sexing me (when everybody knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth still couldn't hit this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy you're losing your mind
It's confusing yo, you're confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

You on your job - You hating hard
Ain't gon' feed you - I'm gonna let you starve
Gasping for air - I'm ventilation
You out of breath - Hope you ain't waiting
Telling the world how much you miss me
But we never were - So why you trippin'
You a mom and pop - I'm a corporation
I'm the press conference - and you a conversation

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you're sexing me (when everybody knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth still couldn't hit this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy you're losing your mind
It's confusing yo, you're confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

  1. why does Eminem never pick on other rappers instead of females? Glad she did this.
