The War of Words - MC is 'Obsessed' with Eminem?

Mariah Carey is talking aim at Eminem in her new single after the rapper suggested he'd bedded the singer in the lyrics of his track "Bagpipes From Baghdad." His crude remarks upset Carey's husband Nick Cannon, who attacked Eminem publicly, sparking a war of words between the two stars. The rap star rhymed, "Mariah, what ever happened to us, why did we have to break up... Nick Cannon better back the f**k up. I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk."

But now Carey is keen to have the last laugh, calling Eminem "delusional" on her new track "Obsessed" - the first single from her upcoming album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel."

Carey really slaps Eminem with the line, "You're a mom & pop, I'm a corporation/I'm a press conference, you're a conversation," suggesting the rapper isn't a worthy suitor.

"Obsessed" is certainly a change of pace for Mariah Carey who has built one of the most phenomenal pop music careers of all time out of songs primarily about love, sex and inspiration. The new single is a very direct, bordering on nasty, dis reportedly of Eminem but probably of others as well. Lyrically "Obsessed" is interesting, but musically it just doesn't hold up with the standard of Mariah Carey's other work. She sounds surprisingly bored for the words she is singing.

On the other hand, MC deserves extra kudos for the funny and creative video, in which she plays an Eminem-look-a-like-fanatic who is obsessed with Mariah Carey... adding a good dose of irony to comedy.

FYI: New single, "Obsessed" is available now. "Memoirs of an imperfect Angel" will be in stores 8/25/09.
