In 2009, upon Eminem’s return from a 4-year hiatus, Eminem and Mariah Carey exchanged mad diss records in which Eminem referenced their past relationship and Carey denied that they ever had one. Eminem’s video for the 2009 song “We Made You” makes fun of several pop and media stars, including Michael Jackson. Outraged at Eminem dissing a woman and mocking the King of Pop, Canibus made this diss track, the only time during his long beef with Eminem that he really came at him hard.

It’s important to note that D12 maintains that they didn’t mean to diss Eminem on this track, and that Canibus tricked them into doing these verses and used them for this record so it would sound it was aimed at Eminem.
