"Without Me" is a song by American hip-hop artist Eminem that was released as the lead single from his fourth studio album, ''The Eminem Show'' in 2002, and re-released on his greatest-hits compilation album ''Curtain Call: The Hits'' in 2005. "Without Me" is one of Eminem's most successful singles, reaching No. 2 in the U.S. and No. 1 in many countries worldwide. It is one of his most well-known and most recognizable songs. ==Content== The song was Eminem's return after the successful ''The Marshall Mathers LP'', intended as a sequel to "The Real Slim Shady" and essentially saying that he is back to save the world. It also refers to Eminem's role in the music industry and his cultural effects. The song mocks a number of Eminem's critics, including then-Vice-President Dick Cheney (including his recurring heart problems) and his wife Lynne, the FCC, Chris Kirkpatrick, Limp Bizkit and Moby,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eminem Explains His Disses Of Moby & Chris Kirkpatrick In 'Without Me' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eminem Goes After Moby, Limp Bizkit On ‘Without Me’ )〕 as well as parodying Prince's decision to change his name to a symbol. It also lampoons comparisons of him to Elvis Presley as a white man succeeding commercially in a predominantly black art form. A line also attacks his mother Debbie Mathers for the lawsuit she filed for the lyrics of his debut single "My Name Is". The opening lyric ''"Two trailer park girls go round the outside"'' is based on the single "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren and mocks underground artist Canibus, while the introduction — "Obie Trice, real name, no gimmicks" — is sampled from Obie Trice's own track "Rap Name". It also heavily samples Michael Jackson's hit song, "Billie Jean". The background saxophone riff was sampled from Drunkenmunky's 2002 club hit . Some of the lyrics are altered on the clean version, such as "This is about to get heavy" replaced "This shit's about to get heavy". Also, "Fuck that, cum on your lips, and some on your tits" is changed to "Jump back, jiggle your hips and wiggle a bit". The censored version also replaces "fag" with "Stan" when referring to Moby, a reference to the popular track from ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' (2000). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Without Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
