'Em is just being Em, hate it or love it,' one fan says of 'The Warning.'By Jocelyn Vena

Soon after Eminem released his track "Bagpipes From Baghdad," which takes aim at Mariah Carey, there had been speculation that Carey's single and the video for "Obsessed" were a counterattack on the rapper. Everyone in Carey's camp denied the rumors, but it seems like Eminem responded with another dis track, "The Warning."

Now fans are taking sides, saying Mariah needs to own up to her reported relationship with the rapper. "Eminem just OWNED Mariah," QUEST IS ABDC wrote on MTVNews.com. "Play with fire, you'll get burned. She needs to admit and face the truth about the relationship. If they ain't really have a relationship, Eminem wouldn't go this far. He's the TRUTH."

Meanwhile, jpowell06 wrote, "I like Mariah and all, but she kinda had it comin'. If you had a relationship with the dude, just say it and be over it. Don't deny it. Em is just being Em, hate it or love it. I think he went a lil overboard with the name callin', but I still love him, cuz he's always being real and tellin' it like it is. I wanna see what Nick Cannon gonna say about this one."

Despite the song's racy content, Liss2504 can't help but love Em for making "The Warning." "I love Em!" she wrote. "But dis is HARSH! I still love him!"

But there are a few fans who don't think too highly of Em's song. "Eminem has officially fell off," Bashmatic wrote. "When Rick Ross ... says he's not what he used to be, Em is as quiet as a mouse. Instead, he goes after an R&B singer. Never in the history of rap has this been cool."

Zoidburg took Mariah's side: "We will only be talking about this until Mariah's next single. Eminem don't matter!"

But there are still the fans who think the whole thing is just about publicity. "I think it's all for sales," Andrew told MTV News in Times Square. " 'Cause when you hear Mariah going at Em, everybody's going to wanna hear it."

Antwone Wright agreed, saying, "It's all a publicity stunt."

And some felt that the track confirms everyone's suspicions: Mariah's "Obsessed" was, in fact, all about Em. "I guess that was Eminem in Mariah's new video, because he sure sounds pissed off on that dis record," Asonye88 wrote. "If I was Mariah, I would leave Em alone! Dude is really crazy!"

Chelle06 added: "He went hard on this track, but this dude seriously got voice mails from, like, nine years ago. That sounds a lil obsessed!"

What do you think about Mariah and Eminem's back-and-forth? Did Em take it to far? Let us know!
