Cheese

Eminem's song 'Cheese' is a playful and humorous piece that diverges from his usual intense and often controversial style. The lyrics are a mix of self-deprecating humor and parody, showcasing Eminem's ability to not take himself too seriously. The opening lines, 'Every body thinks that EMINEM stinks like a piece of yellow cheese but I say that he's ok,' reflect a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of his critics while maintaining a light-hearted tone. This self-awareness is a hallmark of Eminem's lyrical style, where he often addresses his public persona and the opinions of others with a mix of humor and defiance.

The reference to the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle, 'oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener... that's what I'd truly wanna be,' adds another layer of parody. This nostalgic nod to a well-known commercial jingle from American culture serves to further lighten the mood of the song. By juxtaposing this with the more serious and emotional lines from his hit song 'Cleaning Out My Closet,' Eminem creates a stark contrast that highlights his versatility as an artist. The line 'im sorry mommy i nevar ment to hurt chuu i nevar ment to make chu cwi but tonight im cleaning out me one of does closets' is a direct reference to his earlier work, but here it is delivered in a more exaggerated and humorous manner.

'Cheese' can be seen as Eminem's way of poking fun at himself and the music industry. It showcases his ability to blend humor with his signature style of addressing personal and public issues. The song's playful nature and use of cultural references make it a unique addition to Eminem's discography, demonstrating his range as an artist and his willingness to experiment with different tones and themes.
