Late Night Video: Eminem Disses Cranbrook

The Wrap points us to this scene from Eminem’s surprisingly good movie, 8 Mile. In this scene, Eminem’s character is in freestyle rap battle with his archenemy who Eminem destroys by associating him with Cranbrook.The words are sometimes hard to discern, so here are some lyrics. BTW, this is totally not safe or work.

Don’t never try to judge me dude
You don’t know what the fuck I’ve been through
But I know something about you
You went to Cranbrook, that’s a private school

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!” says everyone in the crowd. B-Rabbit continues:

What’s the matter dawg, you embarrassed?
This guy’s a gangster; his real name’s Clarence
And Clarence lives at home with both parents
And Clarence’s parents have a real good marriage
This guy don’t wanna battle, he’s shook
‘Cause ain’t no such things as half-way crooks’
He’s scared to death, he’s scared to look at his fucking yearbook, fuck Cranbrook

It should also be noted that Eminem did more for the US auto industry with this commercial than anything Mitt Romney has ever done.
