Jam Master Jay's two turntables, our label is just too s-stable (RIP!)
26Your magazine's so motherfucking thin, you're using staples
27To hold it together, it's turning back into a newspaper
Block noteMakes the confrontation explicit
TargetThe Source
MeaningWhat it means: In “Your magazine's so motherfucking thin, you're using staples,” Eminem addresses The Source directly and makes the situation described in the quoted line the point of confrontation. Why it was said: The song belongs to Eminem's public conflict with Benzino and The Source, which produced multiple response records in the early 2000s. Naming or plainly addressing The Source removes the safety of a subliminal and makes the quoted claim something the target can either answer or leave standing.
ContextThe song belongs to Eminem's public conflict with Benzino and The Source, which produced multiple response records in the early 2000s.
