In this case, Eminem simply predicted incorrectly. He was not intentionally trying to be wrong for effect, and his being wrong was the happenstance of fate. He could not have known he would be wrong, at least not definitively, at the time.

Yes you can use Google and copy and paste thd firsr thing that pops up.. but even by your def its still holds weight dude ..

Your right in 2000 it wasn't ironic even though predicting your 17 year old daughter will have children and be out drinking has facetious written all over it ... but I'm sure em was raising her to be that way isn't that how we all raise our children? ... just stop you look stupid

In one sense he was being overly sarcastic at the time which has now turned to irony .. as far as rapping at 40 who knows how he meant it but it doesnt make it any less ironic now
