>>211735608 (OP)Clarence (of The Free World) presented himself as a gangster. However, Clarence actually had a middle-class upbringing. Nick Broomfield's documentary "Tupac and Biggie" exposes the fact that Tupac and Biggie also had normal, middle-class upbringings. This scene was really about Marshall claiming the top spot of all time in the rap game by sonning Tupac and Biggie. He revisited this in his song from MMLP2, "Evil Twin," wherein he stated
>Fuck top 5, bitch, I'm top 4 And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore And I got an evil twin, so who you think that's 3rd and 4th spot's for?This line is commonly interpreted as "Eminem and Slim Shady are 3rd and 4th," but he actually doesn't specify. Eminem believes himself to be better than Biggie and Pac. He actually grew up in the ghetto, poor, unlike those poseurs - and unlike Clarence.
