Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) apparently (re)started the war of words with himself and Mariah Carey, with the song "Bagpipes from Baghdad", released via his latest album Relapse. The song prompted a musical response from Carey with the song "Obsessed", where she described Mathers' behavior as "delusional". Listen to Obsessed below or check lyrics here.
The rift between the two, which has apparently been going on for a few years, has placed a spotlight on the maturity levels (or lack thereof) for both parties. Taking the mantle from Carey, Eminem continued the attention-seeking attempts to remain relevant and create a buzz for their upcoming albums. Mathers released a song named "The Warning", which is reminiscent of the songs which he wrote when both he and his audience were younger, back in 1999-2004. Showing that he isn't concerned with revealing information even about himself and his sexual encounters with Carey, he fittingly rhymes "If I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare say it isn't true."

What is the logic behind Mathers' rehash of his feud with Carey at a time when it was largely forgotten? Listen to "The Warning" below, or check the lyrics here. Be warned.... the song contains expletive language.
