《Crack a Bottle》的創作計畫於2008年12月被曝光,該曲名稱在混音專輯《4th Quarter Pressure Part2》中的《Number One》中最初泄露,而最終於2009年1月6日完成完整版。對於歌曲被泄露,埃米納姆表示很不高興,他說:“這首歌根本還沒有完成,只是先由我在歌曲中主唱,以此來給德瑞一些建議,給他靈感,使其對歌詞的韻律有一個更好的發揮。”
之後媒體報導說,該首歌是埃米納姆專輯《Relapse》的第一主打,而唱片公司則表示該首歌只是一個宣傳單曲。之後《滾石》的相關人員表示這首歌到底會由那位說唱歌手來客串還未定。儘管混亂,唱片公司表示這首歌會收錄在《Relapse》中,雖然它成不了主打。這首歌採樣自Mike Brant的《Mais dans la lumière》。
歌曲歌詞
英文
Ooww Ladies and gentlemen
The moment you've all been waiting for
In this corner : weighing 175 pounds'
With a record of 17 rapes' 400 assaults' and 4 murders'
The undisputed' most diabolic villain in the world :
Slim Shady
Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle' let your body waddle
Don't act like a snobby model you just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh' bitches hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got close
Now where's the robbers Whose got the robbers
I noticed there's so many of them
And there's really not that many of us
Ladies love us and my butt is kicking up dust
It's on till the break of dawn
And we're starting this party from dusk
OK let's go
Back when Andre' the giant' mister elephant tusk
Fix your must' you'll just be another one bit the dust
Just one up my mothers son who got thrown under the bus
Kiss my butt Lick from under cheese from under my nuts
It disgusts me to see the game the way that it looks
Its a must I redeem my name 'n' haters get mushed
Bitches lust Man they love me when I lay in the cut
Fist the cut The lady give her eighty some paper cut
Now picture us Its ridiculous you curse at the thought
Cuz when I spit the verse the shit
Gets worse and worse cuz your soft
If I could fit the words as picture perfect' works every time
Every verse' every line' as simple as nursery rhymes
Its elementary The elephants have entered the room
I venture to say with the center of attention its true
Not to mention back with a vengeance so heres the signal
Of the bat symbol The platinum trio's back on you hoes
So crack a bottle' let your body waddle
Don't act like a snobby model
You just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh' bitches hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got close
Now wheres the robbers Whose got the robbers
I noticed theres so many of them
And there's really not that many of us
Ladies love us and my butt is kicking up dust
Its on till the break of dawn
And were starting this dusk party from
Ladies and gentlemen' Dr Dre
They see that low rider go by there' like Oh my
You ain't got to tell me why you're sick cuz I know why
I dip through in that six trey like sick em Dre
I'm an itch that they cant scratch' they're sick of me
But hey' what else can I say I love LA
Cuz over and above all' its 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 fucked around and crashed my Benz
Driving around with a smashed front end
Lets 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' decision
Garage looks like precision collision
Or maico beats quake like Waco
Just keep the bass low speakers away from your face though
So crack a bottle' let your body waddle
Don't act like a snobby model
You just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh' bitches hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got close
Now wheres the robbers Whose got the robbers
I noticed theres so many of them
And theres really not that many of us
Ladies love us and my posses kicking up dust
Its on till the break of dawn and were starting this party from dusk
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
Its what we into its 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 marajaun do what you want
Nigga on and on till the break of what
Get the paper man m caking you know i don't give a f-ck
I spend it like it don't mean nothing
Blow it like its supposed to be blown
Mother fucker I'm grown
I stunt i style i flash the sh-t
I gets what the fuck I want so what I trick
Fat as- burgundy bags classy shit Jimmy Choos shoes
I say move a bitch move
So crack a bottle' let your body waddle
Don't act like a snobby model
You just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh' bitches hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got close
Now wheres the robbers Whose got the robbers
I noticed theres so many of them
And there's really not that many of us
Ladies love us and my butt is kicking up dust
Its on till the break of dawn
And were starting this party from dusk
譯文
女士們,先生們
所有人在等待的時刻
在這個角落,重達一百七十五鐵鎊
有著十七個犯罪記錄,四百次襲擊,四起謀殺案
無可爭議這是世界上
最殘忍的惡棍
打開酒瓶共飲,讓你的身體搖擺
不要顯得很努力,你只是玩了一個遊戲
噢,噢在太浩湖跳躍
有一個騎著獵槍的人,沒有戴手套
此刻橡膠鞋在哪裡,誰有橡膠鞋
我注意到他們中很多人
不是我們當中的
女士們愛著我,武裝隊踢著灰塵踏步而來
一直持續到黎明
黃昏我們開始聚會
讓我們一起
當安德烈這個總統騎著圖斯克先生的大象
你只是另外一個而已
我媽媽的一個朋友的兒子被扔在公車上
滾吧,去死吧
我很討厭看到像這樣的遊戲
我必須贖回我名字中的字母N,因為它是我仇敵的名字中的一個字母
當我出席時,人們愛著我
女士們把手中的紙撕得粉碎
當我們拍照,想想都覺得可笑荒唐
當我撕裂衣服時
更糟的是衣服沾辣椒醬
如果感覺照片還不錯
每首詩,每行字,簡單押韻
大象湧入房間
我站在中心大聲說
猛烈地說,這就是導火線
就是這個導火線
打開酒瓶共飲,讓你的身體搖擺
不要顯得很勢力
你只是玩了一個遊戲
噢,噢在太浩湖跳躍
有一個騎著獵槍的人,沒有戴手套
此刻橡膠鞋在哪裡,誰有橡膠鞋
我注意到他們中很多人
不是我們當中的
女士們愛著我,武裝隊踢著灰塵踏步而來
一直持續到黎明
黃昏我們開始聚會 讓我們一起
女士們,先生們
他們看到低俗的騎馬者來了
你不想告訴我難免生病了,但是我知道為什麼
她們厭倦了我
但我還能說什麼呢
我愛洛杉磯
總之,有將是美好的一天
在上次結束的地方繼續開始
在跌倒的地方再次爬起來
我心情不好
開國在一個看不到心頭的地方
讓我們現金支付吧
抓住另一個
該死
如果我知道
我想要皮質座椅還是塑膠呢
做決定吧
賈拉傑看下來像出了車禍
像出了車禍
不要對這些低聲說話的惡人們
找開酒瓶共飲,讓你的身體搖擺
不要顯得很勢力
你們只是玩了一個遊戲
噢,噢,在太浩湖跳躍
有一個騎著獵槍的人,沒有戴手套
此刻橡膠鞋在哪裡,誰有橡膠鞋
我注意到產中很多人
不是我們當中的
女士們愛著我,武裝隊踢著灰塵踏步而來
一直持續到黎明,黃昏我們開始聚會
我要隆重的介紹,五十美分
一瓶又一瓶
當我們一起玩的時候錢不是什麼
其實很簡單
我們放棄了就像你不再相信了一樣
我是凝固汽油的炸彈,不,我是金剛
新的統治又來了
儘管越南敲響警鐘我仍然很冷靜
肖恩消失在黎明,做你想做的
黑鬼一直在那裡
我在凝固,你知道我很厲害的
對我來說沒有什麼意義
搞砸它
媽媽說我長大了
我的表演風格很驚人
我得到了我想要的
吉米選擇鞋子
我說離我遠點
打開酒瓶共飲,讓你的身體搖擺
不要顯得很勢力
你只是玩了一個遊戲
噢,噢,在太浩湖跳躍
有一個騎著獵槍的人,沒有戴手套
此刻橡膠在哪裡,誰有橡膠鞋
我注意到他們中很多人
不是我們當中的
女士們愛著我,武裝隊踢著灰塵踏步而來
一直持續到黎明
黃昏我們開始聚會
歌曲鑑賞
《Crack a Bottle》是專輯中最柔弱的歌之一,它再次使用了“beyond-stale”的吹噓和對名人的Diss,很符合埃米納姆之前的風格。這首歌是對埃米納姆十年來的一語雙關,歌中完美的歡快的鋼琴環繞著,三位說唱歌手重聚將這首歌完美的演繹。埃米納姆向裡面添加了許多有趣的歌詞,這個習慣他已經丟棄了許多年了。有點讓人失望的就是歌中50美分的部分,不溫不火但是很耐聽。
