Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed' Aimed at Eminem?

R&B diva Mariah Carey doesn't need Nick Cannon to fight her battles when it comes to Eminem -- she'll do it herself. The 39-year-old recently released the song 'Obsessed' about a "delusional" acquaintance who won't leave her alone. Sound familiar?

Last month Em dropped 'his comeback album 'Relapse,' which featured 'Bagpipes over Baghdad,' a track in which he clearly calls Carey out, even pondering why their fling didn't last. If the rumors are true, Carey's 'Obsessed' makes the rapper look as though he imagined the alleged "fling."

"I was like,'why are you so obsessed with me?'" Carey asks as the song begins. From there the lyrics run suspiciously close to her alleged encounter with Em. "All up in the blogs/ Say we met at the bar/When I don't even know who you are/Say we up in your house/Sayin' I'm up in your car/ But you in LA, I'm out with Jermaine."

Then things get even more interesting. "I'm up in the A you're so so lame/and no one here even mentions your name/It must be the weed, it must be the E/cuz you be poppin', hood, you get it poppin.'" (Em has talked about his drug addiction to prescription pills resulting in two stints in rehab.)

As the hook drifts in and out, Carey throws a little reverb on her voice as she continues to confront her stalker. "Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me?/Boy I want to know- lyin' that you're sexin' me/when everybody knows it's clear that you're upset with me."

Carey never publicly addressed Em's lyrics in 'Bagpipes over Baghdad' in which he threatened her husband and stated that he "wanted her back." Cannon did not find the song the least bit entertaining and took to his blog to threaten Em with, of all things, a rap battle.

'Obsessed' is currently streaming on Carey's website. The songstress is set to release her latest album 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' later this year.

Look,its obvious that Em is carrying a "thing" for MC,and he just can't get over the fact that she's moving on with her life! He did the same thing w/Christina...Em,GET OVER IT! Cutting her down in your song only makes YOU look stupid,pathetic,and DESPERATE! Go back to ya baby momma!

Urban dress IS a uniform. Worn by those afraid of non-conformity.

the youth do not dress hip-hop for comfort. They are simply uncomfortable with non-conformity. It's mainly an urban "uniform." People that claim to "love everybody" usually don't from my experience.

Margaret your one ignorant ass son of a bitch. Let me tell you something black people have accoplished way more then white people have. for example how many black *clebritys* have you seen in the news drunk, and half naked. Lindasay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Amy Whinehouse the list goes on to how many white clebritys have been in and out of rehab. Whites created style? No i dont think so. More white people are trying to dress like black people. Urban style is not trashy. Look around you. look on youtube and look how white people dress exposing their bodies with hoochie skirts and revealing tank tops. I use AOL all the time and i find most white people murdering and raping their children and killing others aswell then Black people. Most people think oh black people are so ghetto they are so violent. so is white people. we both have out equal share of crimes in the united states. i am neither black or white. i have no problem with either race. Everybody has their own style and you will mostly find the majority of people with a pair of Nikes, Jordans,Air force 1s, Air Max etc. White people who dress like Black people are not ignorant. They dress like that because its comfortable to them. Urban style can be classy it depends on how you wear it. so dont come on here talking on all sides of your face. you fucking ignorant ass mtoher fucker

Thanks Kelli for making this a "race" thing. Let me guess, you have no dad and no job. Of course they are going to sell to people that "pay" for it. Stupid ass, keep living in the past, why you can't get anywhere now. World don't care about your sob story. Way worse in the world, read a newspaper
