Crack A Bottle feat. Dr. Dre & 50 Cent
Eminem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen
The moment you've all been waiting for,
In this corner, weighing a hundred and seventy five pounds,
With a record of seventeen rapes, four hundred a**aults, and four murders,
The undisputed, most diabolic villain in the world:
Slim Shady!

[Chorus]
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle
Don't act like a snobby model you just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh, b****es hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got clothes
Now where's the rubbers? Who's got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
And there's really not that many of us.
Ladies love us, my posse's kicking up dust.
It's on till the break of dawn
And we're starting this party from dusk

OK, let's go

Back with Andre, the giant, mister elephant tusk
Picture us, you'll just be another one bit the dust
Just one of my mothers sons who got thrown under the bus
Kiss my butt. Lick the wonder cheese from under my nuts
It disgusts me to see the game the way that it looks
It's a must I redeem my name and haters get mushed.
B****es lust. Man they love me when I lay in the cut.
Fist the cup. The lady gave her eighty some paper cut.
Now picture us. It's ridiculous you curse at the thought
Cause when I spit the verse the s***
Gets worse then Worcestershire sauce
If I could fit the words as picture perfect, works every time
Every verse, every line, as simple as nursery rhymes
It's elementary. The elephants have entered the room.
I venture to say we're the center of attention it's true
Not to mention back with a vengeance so here's the signal
Of the bat symbol. The platinum trio's back on you hoes.

[Chorus]

Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Dre

They see that low rider go by they're, like Oh my!
You ain't got to tell me why you're sick 'cause I know why.
I dip through in that six trey like sick 'em Dre.
I'm an itch that they can't scratch, they sick of me.
But hey, what else can I say? I love LA.
Cause over and above all, it's just another day
And this one begins where the last one ends.
Pick up where we left off and get smashed again.
I'll be dammed, just f***ed around and crashed my Benz.
Driving around with a smashed front end
Let's cash that one in.
Grab another one from out the stable
The Monte Carlo, El Camino or the El Dorado
The hell if I know.
Do I want leather seats or vinyl?
Decisions, decisions
Garage looks like Precision Collision.
Or Maaco beats quake like Waco
Just keep the bass low speakers away from your face though

[Chorus]

And I take great pleasure in introducing, 50 Cent!

It's bottle after bottle
The money ain't a thing when you party with me
It's what we into it's simple
We ball out of control like you wouldn't believe
I'm the napalm the bomb the don I'm King Kong
Get rolled on wrapped up and reigned on
I'm so calm through Vietnam ring the alarm
Bring the Shaun Dawn burn marijuana do what you want
N**** on and on till the break of what
Get the paper man I'm caking you know I don't give a f***
I spend it like it don't mean nothing
Blow it like its supposed to be blown
Motherf***er I'm grown
I stunt I style I flash the s***
I gets what the f*** I want so what I trick
Fat a** burgundy bags cla**y s*** Jimmy Choo shoes
I say move a b**** move





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The intro to the song 'Crack A Bottle' by Eminem featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent is an announcement of Slim Shady’s entry. It is an attempt to create some eagerly awaited hype, as it refers to Slim Shady as the "most diabolic villain in the world." It highlights the over-the-top, hyperbolic image of Eminem's alter ego at the time that is a significant draw for his fans. The chorus encourages the audience to let loose, enjoy the party and let their bodies enjoy the rhythm. The song's lyrics reflect the attention-grabbing tactics and exaggerated personas of the three rappers- Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent.


The opening lines in the first paragraph show that this song is meant to be fun and over the top, as Slim Shady's criminal records consist of a significant number of horrendous crimes. The chorus asks the listeners to have fun and not act like snobs, treating their recent luck as a lottery win. In the following sections, Eminem and Dr. Dre show off their skills, wit, and rhyming abilities. Eminem asserts his dominance by referring to himself as an elephant tusk, Dr. Dre raps about cruising around L.A. in a low ride, and 50 Cent boasts about his wealth and possessions. The lyrics are structured to be catchy and easily danceable, with simple rhyme schemes and repetitive hooks. Overall, 'Crack A Bottle' is a fun and lighthearted party song that does not take itself too seriously.

Não se iguale aos outros quando você canta
Você canta com a alma
Sou do Brasil
Ora entender seu som tenho que procurar legendado
Mais quando vejo a letra
Cara pra min você é o melhor de todos os tempos
Me vejo em você
Um pai
Um problemático
Lutando contra o mundo pra vencer e se vencer
Por sua família
Seu som me dá forças mesmo sendo de outro país
Obrigado por ser você mesmo
E por ser tão forte por nós
