It started as a joke. Then Em turned it into a funeral verse. 📿⚰️
The 2019 track “Lord Above” was supposed to be a throwaway feature for Fat Joe’s album—but Eminem turned it into a lyrical body bag. And the target? Nick Cannon. Again.
At the time, Nick had been throwing jabs for years—mostly jokes, wild interviews, and playful diss tracks. But Em’s verse flipped the tone.
“I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note / But that other dude’s whipped—that p**y got him neutered.*”
The internet exploded.
Nick responded with several diss tracks in a week. Em didn’t reply.
But in 2025, fans are revisiting “Lord Above” as one of the most savage “passive” diss tracks ever, where Eminem chose to bury his opponent with precision, not aggression.
“It’s the art of the controlled kill,” says hip-hop historian @TheRapArchivist. “He didn’t waste time. He made it final.”
Nick has since softened his tone, admitting in interviews:
“That man writes with blood. I was writing skits.”
The “Lord Above” saga is a classic example of what makes Eminem feared—he doesn’t attack often, but when he does, it’s over.
