Like Toy Soldiers
"Like Toy Soldiers" is a song by American rapper Eminem. It is the fourth single from his fifth album ''Encore'' and is the fifth track on the album. The song samples Martika's 1989 hit song "Toy Soldiers" and features interpolations from the main title theme from the 1972 film ''The Hot Rock''. The song peaked at number thirty-four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in February 2005, topped the charts in the United Kingdom and peaked within the top ten of the charts in many other European countries, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
==Content==
"Like Toy Soldiers" tells the story of Eminem's attempts to calm a violent community of rappers. Eminem speaks openly about problems with ''The Source'' magazine and its editor Benzino, as well as the situation between 50 Cent and Ja Rule and his label Murder Inc., which Eminem felt went far beyond the Jay-Z–Nas feud. The song finishes as Eminem offers a truce to his enemies. In addition, this song also reveals that Eminem had tried to stop Ja Rule & 50 Cent's feud, but lost it when he heard Ja Rule making fun of his daughter on a track called "Loose Change" - ("The Ja Shit, I tried to squash it, It was too late to stop it, There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it, I heard him say Hailie's name in his song and I just lost it"). In the song Ja Rule says Eminem claims his then ex-wife is "a known slut" and his mother "a crackhead", and then asks him "so what's Hailie gonna be when she grows up?". "Like Toy Soldiers" was later included on Eminem's compilation album ''Curtain Call: The Hits'' in 2005. Throughout his career, Eminem, at most, only alludes to Suge Knight, completing a line in this song, "my intentions were good, I went through my whole career without ever mentioning -." Styles P used the instrumental version in his song "Soldiers Song", in 2005.〔
As a result of this song, Eminem refused to get himself involved in some of 50 Cent's later feuds, including Jadakiss, Fat Joe (both of whom he collaborated with in 2004), and The Game.
