    like my headlights thread, this thread is to talk about a song that was supposed to be classic

    again, amazing beat...amazing hook...and probably has the best poetic lines Eminem ever rapped

    So feel the fire beneath your feet as you barely even perspire
    From the heat
    Exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief
    And as you say goodbye to the grief
    It's like watching the walls melt in your prison cell
    But you've extinguished this living h---
    Still a little piece of you dies as you scream

    this is pure raw talent...the imagination involved is amazing, yet...the same song has these lines
    It's like an enormous asth-ma
    Thunderstorm has passed ya
    You weathered it and poked it's eye out
    With the thorn bush that you
    Used to smell the roses
    Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose is, stuffed

    asides from the lyrics, you should listen to the flow of it..by far the worst flow on all of mmlp2

    Although today you may weep cause you're weakened
    And everything seems so bleak and hopeless
    The light that you're seekin'
    It begins to seep in
    That's the only thing keepin'
    You from leapin' off the mothafreakin' deep end

    i cringe everytime this part comes in..esp the motherfreakin part

    overall..the verses were very very lazy...up until the masterpiece that was the third verse...and the annoying part is that the song msg is POWERFUL...he just completely dropped the ball

    tbh I think Ems biggest problems with songs like Beautiful Pain, Monster, KND ect is that before his emotional songs had emotion behind them such as The Way I Am. Now he sounds like he's making the song just to make it, He now does edit and blend together his takes to make it seemless maybe that takes away the emotional aspect idk.

    I made my thread where i thought it was better than any song he has made since recovery basically. You are right in some aspects. The song honestly had the potential to be one his best songs ever. With that said, I still think its an amazing song

    I wouldn't really call it a waste, sure it has some flaws but I thought it was a pretty solid song.

    I 100% agree, had the potential to be something absolutely beautiful but was ruined by lame punchline attempts and bad flows.
    The "mothafreakin..... DEEP END" part hurts me because it's like the cringiest thing on the entire album

    I agree with you, it feels that he's not putting any emotion on the song. But i still like it.

    lol agree with that entire post. The deep end lines are so bad... and that ending to the verse is so good.

    But honestly, this could apply 80% of MMLP2 ... glimpses of greatness, s-----y parts and overal decent/average.

    idk, y'all go to deep into s--- sometimes lol, thats like one of the best songs on the album, that whole album was a let down an I was happy af that we at least got a few good songs on 2nd disc, I thought it was a good song. his weird new flow actually worked on that song imo
