Nick Cannon wants to fight Eminem; calls him out

Follow @douchelarue More from Shawn Norris >

Nick Cannon (aka Mr. Mariah Carey) apparently has some beef with Eminem (who doesn’t?) and has decided to re-open the wounds and take the feud to the boxing ring. Sounds like “America’s Got Talent” is trying to get a new job on “The Contender.”

And the last episode of this season’s Entourage doesn’t seem as far fetched now…

Eminem makes fun of everybody, does he not? He has parodied everyone from superheroes to Osama Bin Laden and yes, even the diva herself, Mariah Carey. This is not news to anyone, as the rapper is known for an oft serious demeanor that seems to go out the window the minute he hit’s the studio to record lyrics or music videos. It’s parody. It’s art. So why out of all the people Em has taken shots at over the years is Nick Cannon the person to take it personally enough to escalate his beef into a fist fight? Probably his crazy wife that has no sense of humor and can never let anything go.

You remember this year-and-a-half-old beef, right? Eminem’s “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” off his Relapse album, took some shots at Cannon and his wife, Mariah Carey. Cannon shot back: He dissed Em’s skills and clowned on his boasts of bedding Mariah, calling the attack “racist bigotry.”

Yeah, so this comes down to the fact that at one time when he was the greatest-rapper-in-the-game, Eminem slept with your wife and now your pissed about it. Well, why the hell would you want to fight about this when you could be using that training time to build a time machine and go back to stop it from ever happening? Or you could just get over the fact that other men have slept with your wife and stop trying to use that as a catalyst to help the generate publicity so that people will know you less as Mr. Mariah Carey and more as that guy that hosts that one show where the guy dressed as a 17th century gay clown opera singer.

Cannon reignited the fuse in July, when he reportedly attempted to confront Shady at the BET Awards, making fun of Em for allegedly hiding out behind his security detail. Then, earlier this month, Cannon threw another haymaker, dropping “I’ma Slick Rick,” in which he called into question, um, Eminem’s ability to get ready for game time.

Come on, guy. Dissing Ems skills on the radio and erectile dysfunction in a musical number seem a bit on the ridiculous side. This seems like it may end up being one of those skits from Chapeele’s Show about when keeping it real goes wrong. You’ve seen others with beef get smoked by Eminem in the past, so why poke a sleeping, sober bear when you know he’ll just end up lyrically destroying you in a few months time? Let it go, man.

A clean and sober Eminem told Vibe in August that he was done with all that, saying, “I really don’t want to talk about [Carey] anymore. I don’t want to keep beating a dead horse … I’m not even going to comment about it. I’m done with that whole situation. I said what I had to say.”

Well, I guess that means no fight or new track. Nick will just have to find a new way to reinvent himself without getting into the ring with Eminem. I hear Lindsay Lohan need a new sponsor…
