Great song. I love Eminem. But the Devil is NOT in his song.
lol and by the flags 4 others think so too.

I think the deep voice represents his inner greed and he is trying to fight it. The big business record label companies are preying on people's inner demons like greed and materialism in order to make big money while in the process their practices ruin the lives of said artists.
He isn't as mainstream as he used to be, he's remembering how he sold his soul to the devil and how he regrets it in my opinion. There's nothing evil about this song.

Notice how he says "in the shadows of all who are willing to sell their souls for this rap game and it goes 123...123...123..." , that's 666. Subtle hint?

123 ≠ 666

I came across this song a couple of weeks ago on youtube after I've read about it in a book, in this song you will hear him have a conversation with a deep almost evil voice. I'm not completely sure about who he's having a dialogue with but the lyrics and the deep voice that has been used makes me assume it represents the devil.

Just to correct you no one in the hip hop community claims or even thinks he's the greatest. The greatest lyricist yes. The greatest rapper of all time is Tupac Shakur.

Not to downplay amything you said because i agree with half. But that is also your opinion. Hip hop is the culture. It has different elements within hip hop:
1. Art/graffiti
2. MCing/rap
3. Djing
4. Breaking/dance
Rap is the main component of hip hop when combined MCing.
This is coming from someone that saw it in the womb up until its birth and even now as its raped for profit. If a vote is good enough for the POTUS then its good enough to determine the greatest rapper of all time and sir the masses has spoken. 2Pac. Tbh eminem is top 5 at best. If you dont trust my word ask around and do your own research into who the peoples choice is.
