Business

Eminem's song 'Business,' featuring interjections from Dr. Dre, is a track from his album 'The Eminem Show' released in 2002. The song is a bold statement of Eminem's place in the rap industry, likening himself and Dr. Dre to superheroes coming to rescue hip-hop, which they perceive to be in a state of emergency. The lyrics are filled with bravado, wit, and a sense of urgency to reinvigorate the genre with their authentic and raw talent.

The song opens with a call to action, as if there's an emergency in the world of hip-hop that requires the intervention of Eminem and Dr. Dre. Eminem positions himself as a savior of the genre, ready to 'shut the shit down on these clowns,' referring to other rappers who he feels are not as genuine or talented. The circus metaphor suggests that the rap game has become a spectacle, and it's time for serious artists to take the stage. Eminem's flow and lyricism are highlighted as unparalleled, and he boasts about his and Dre's ability to captivate audiences and deliver quality music.

Throughout the song, Eminem and Dr. Dre's partnership is celebrated as a powerful force in the industry. Eminem compares their collaboration to other dynamic duos and emphasizes their longevity and impact. The song concludes with a promise that they will remain in the game, continuing to produce music until they are old and gray. The repeated mentions of 'Marshall' by the female voice serve to underscore Eminem's personal brand and his central role in the narrative of the song.
