    I kinda wanna agree but then I play 'I'm Shady' and I dunno anymore. Sslp really is great. This is out 2 days its way to soon for me.

    Elimination starts today though. Bit early but u only have to delete 1 song every 24hr so time enough to let it sink in

    Good beat, great hook but the rapping is absolutly not like I want and expect it from Eminem. The rapping drags it down for me like on a lot of tracks on Side B.
    Man its so crazy cause his rapping was the best on Kamikaze while most of the beats drag it down for me. Here with Side B it was the other thing.
    On A it was well mixed but nuthin blew me away either. Believe stays Em's best song since hiatus for me.
    I still need to give this more spins to give a properly review but yeah Side B feels rushed while production gets better and better.

    I'll explain the rules but basically every 24 hours we all pick our least favorite song

    Then the one w most votes is out and we move on. Until there's one song left

    Basically what it is lol.. gonna be really s-----y at the end though

    you say dont come over cuz you got pink eye
    But I think i/ got just the thing
    Why dont I bring my FKN BAT AND JUST SWING BY?

    Lol. I dont mind the song but sonically with the production and some of the distortion/ saturation choices in the vocals it was definitely different.

    Sorry bro but disagree. And thats not a diss to this album but gnat is one of my least favorites on here... still like a 8/10 for me but bottom half

    Im Shady is a 10/10

    In all seriousness, as of rn I also rather listen to this but I'm pretty sure once it sunk in for a while I'm gonna have sslp above this. And thats no diss because I love SSLP and this one is dope too.

    But when I see people write sslp off as goofy or just funny I disagree.

    Yeah he plays this cartoonish character w funny lines and some are really goofy but if u look at the actual content its like really serious mixed w some fun. Em is brutally honest on every song and thats what made and still makes me appreciate his music. So glad he went back to that since the chloraseptic remix!

    Like,

    - Brain Damage is storytelling at its finest! Same as guilty concience and bad meets evil. Altough BD is a lot better.
    - I'm shady is 100% honesty mixed w clever lines
    - Role Model is funny but also is the truth how people will do anything their idol does, so its more than just fun
    - c-m on everybody, my fault etc are playful tracks w clever and funny s---
    - if I had & rock bottom are 2 of the deepest yet depressing songs he made (but in a good way).

    So all of that together I think its a great balance of serious songs (or at least serious messages) and fun. Which kinda summarizes prime Eminem for me.

    @Donkey Kong Cuntry pls read w me over my shoulder and give notes. Keep ur distance though!!

    Come get this truth I'm gonna give you a 70 page essay about how SHADYXV, Southpaw and Revival were the best em has ever sounded and how Side B and MMLP are actually his worst albums next to TES

    Only thing I can say as a potential point of critique on some new songs, because of the packed lines and quick delivery. Farewell for example has this sing along vibe tough.
