 == It should look Like this: == 

 First off, I want to mention that I am a fan of both Everlast and Eminem. I never had any intentions of promiting one's music over the other and was just looking to improve Everlast's entry when I started editing it. 

 In my opinion, the verse from the Dilate Peoples track should remain in there as it was the start of the war between them. I believe I present it in a ""Look, here it is"" kinda way that is not disrespectful, nor is it biased toward Everlast. Mind you, as I say that, this IS Everlast's entry. If anything, it should be biased toward Everlast. See the movie ""Notorious""? See what a punk they made 2Pac out to be? Anyway, is it a copyright violation to reprint the entire verse if it is properly acredited? The source is the Dilated Peoples website. 

 Anyway, this is what I think: 

 ==Lyrical war with Eminem== 
 Shortly after both artists contributed tracks to the End of Days soundtrack, a feud erupted between Everlast and Eminem. Eminem and Everlast crossed paths before a concert in early 1999. Eminem says Everlast didn't acknowledge him, and said he didn't greet Everlast because he didn't recognize him right away. Everlast's version is that he tried to congratulate Eminem on his success, and Eminem blew him off. Either way, Everlast's verse from the Dilated Peoples all star track ""Ear Drums Pop (Remix)"" contains the following:    
      
 I read the New Testament and gave it up for Lent 
 All the places I went just to pay my rent 
 Used to keep me bent, on a ritual daily 
 Cock my hammer, spit a Comet like Haley 
 I'll buck a three-eighty on ones that act shady 
 I'm original like Grady, check my Sanford, Son 
 You know you ain't the one that rep peckerwood status 
 I'll bust that ass, keep your eyes on the floor 
 What you comin here for? Son, you know the law 
 Let's take it back to the house, slide off your blouse 
 Lift up your skirt and expose your panties 
 For the world to see, you can't rep it like me 
 I'm Communist, terrorist, vandalist 
 Catalyst, scandalous, masochist, never miss battalist 
 You must be crazy, or just plain dumb 
 You might catch a beatdown now where I come from 

 Eminem, in turn, ripped Everlast several times in public and on the song ""I Remember (Dedication To Whitey Ford),"" released as a b-side to the D12 12"" vinyl single ""Shit On You."" In it, Eminem talks about how he remember's Everlast's music, however, ""Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along now/Don't nobody wanna hear your old ass sing no more."" 

 Everlast responded with the track ""Whitey's Revenge,"" released only on his official website. Whereas the song contained references to Eminem's strained relationships with his wife and mother, it was ""Better run and check your kid for your DNA"", again referring to Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, that set Eminem off. 

 Eminem & D12 responded with a take off on 2Pac's ""Hit Em Up"" (a diss song aimed at The Notorious B.I.G.), entitled ""Quitter."" In it, he warns Everlast, ""If you talk about my little girl in a song again I’ma kill you."" The track ends with the spoken words, ""Fuck him, that’s it, I’m done, I promise, I’m done, that’s it/I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I promise/I just believe in kickin a man while he’s down/God damn! I quit,"" and again warning, ""Mention my daughter’s name in a song again you fuckin punk."" Everlast has echoed similar sentiment on the status of this feud, stating in various interviews that he felt everything had been said and he would now refrain from further responses.
