10 Perfect Non-Single Tracks By Eminem

5. Puke: Encore (2004)

Eminem has gotten himself entangled in a number of feuds throughout the years. But, the most publicised and commonly referenced in his work has been his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, and mother of his child, Kim Scott.

Out of all the many tracks tacking aim at Eminem's baby mama, "Puke" was one of the least troubling. His vocal tirades at Kim where often inundated with disturbingly violent fantasies. The 2000 song "Kim" was essentially a fictionalised play by play of domestic abusive. For six and a half minutes the listener is subjected to Em's outburst of rage, ending in the sound of Em slitting his ex's throat. Yeah, it's disturbing sh*t.

"Puke" was gross for other reasons. By this time Kim and Em had broken up numerous times and he was clearly sick of the whole thing. Punctuated by the reoccurring sound of vomit hitting the toilet bowl, Em's outrage is less violent and more resigned to how physically repulsed he is by his on-again, off-again girlfriend.

Talk about airing your dirty laundry in public.
