Stephen Thomas Erlewine marked it as one of the best tracks on The Eminem Show. The introduction-" Obie Trice, real name, no gimmicks"-is sampled from Obie Trice's own track " Rap Name". The opening lyric "Two trailer park girls go round the outside" is based on the country rap single " Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren. A line also attacks his mother Debbie Mathers for the lawsuit she filed for the lyrics of his debut single " My Name Is". It also lampoons comparisons of him to Elvis Presley as a white man succeeding commercially in a predominantly black art form. The song mocks a number of Eminem's critics, including then-Vice-President Dick Cheney (including his recurring heart problems) and his wife Lynne, the FCC, Chris Kirkpatrick (of NSYNC), Limp Bizkit and Moby, as well as parodying Prince's decision to change his name to a symbol. It also refers to Eminem's role in the music industry and his effect on culture. The song was Eminem's return after the successful The Marshall Mathers LP, intended as a sequel to " The Real Slim Shady" and essentially says that he is back to save the world.
