Learn English – the relation between “dark side” and “mic check” in these lyrics

meaningmeaning-in-contextphrase-meaningsentence-meaning

I just listened to The Hills (Remix) by Eminem. People in the Youtube comment section were saying this line was great.

I let you see my dark side, but like a mic check, you got one too.

Lyric video is available here.

I don't understand what Eminem is saying here. What is the relation between dark side and mic check?

Best Answer

When someone does a mic check, they need to say something into the mic. People often say

  • Mic check. One, two. One, two.
  • Testing, testing. One, two. One, two.

One two sounds like one too. The double meaning is that during a mic check, you got (have, hear, say) "one two" and, a dark side, you got (have) one too (also).
