[ WP ] Shakespeare and Eminem get into a rap battle ...

**Eminem: ** 
 
 `` Billy Shakes uses the Queen's English in his prose, in his stories and it goes, 
 
'Hath, doth, thou and thee...' 
 
 Thinkin' you deep cus you write tragedy? 
 
 Well it's just me, but I think you're as snot-ty as one- could- be. HEY! 
 
 And, hey, Will how many characters did you have to kill off for it to be a good play? 
 
 Because I just dropped a platinum record and only offed Dre. 
 
 But, bitch, continue to drop them words that no one knows, 
 
 And act like you pushed the envelope as far it goes. 
 
 And, please, continue to act like you some classic, 
 
 When, motherfucker, you and I know you just some bastard.'' 
 
 
 **Shakespeare** 
 
 I suppose if I were to sit and ponder your thoughts, 
 
 It would show that your words could tie me into knots. 
 
 But be gone, heretic and lowly knave! 
 
 For I am still talked about in this age of day 
 
 Even after all these years in the grave, 
 
 The common-folk still know the name! 
 
 Harken now, Marshall, I hope you can understand. 
 
 That never did I have to belittle women to be remembered or feel like a man. 
 
 And come back and talk to me 500 years after you're gone 
 
 And we'll see who remembers an Eminem song.
