    I can respect that. I think Love Game is playful and maybe impressive in some techinical manners but it's probably an example of the worst Kendrick and The worst Eminem ever musically. It's really wack sonically and one of the most unlistenable songs on MMLP2 I can think of right after a------ (because of that beat)

    I love Rap God. I feel like people only praise it or trash it because of the fast part. Which is kinda stupid. He uses different flows and it's a pretty fun record. It's also dope live.

    Always hated it. The way he raps, the beat. The only thing I kinda like is Sky's hook.

    The beat is f---ing garbage lol. Rap God is pretty much a combination of the worst parts of MMLP2. s-----y beat, and way too much rambling. Like why did he bring up the Ray J and Fabolous beef that no one cared about?

    My opinion about this song is exact opposite: great flow, bars, beat could be better, but this hook sounded like it was made by a crackhead trying to act romantic

    The whole point of the song is to make a statement about how easy it is for someone in a warped state of mind to commit terror when the current laws say “sky’s the limit” as far as gun control. The parallels in the writing between him & the shooter when it comes to drug use is just added for effect.

    The song is brilliant, artistically the best thing he’s done in a long a--- time but it still doesn’t touch what Kendrick does. You could write a book about the layers of concepts intertwined within To p---- a Butterfly’s writing alone — can’t say the same about Em. Like I said, different levels. Em’s more interested in being an emcee than a poet, is what it is.

    I’m not sure I really understand where you’re getting the angle that Em’s a psychologist from when his critiques of self & others seem to be very thinly veiled/surface level? He’s great at tongue n cheek commentary but I wouldn’t label that as psychology, maybe you could expound on that point?

    I think it's Em's version of the songs Wayne used to drop like A Millie or 6 Foot 7 Foot.

    Everybody loved it when it dropped until social media started doing challenges with the fast part and they started to hate it for no reason.

    I still would remove more songs, but it's better.

    I also never had a problem with Survival, some lines are bad but I don't hate it.

    I forgot what Vegas sounds like tbh, I would have to listen to it. And I own the CD.

    I'd swap Rap God with Guts Over Fear but this would be em's best album since TES no contest

    I just feel like Rap God is a moment for one & also the content matches that era. I think Guts Over Fear could be added somewhere by itself, great song. I thought man’s was retiring when I heard it for the 1st time, got teenage me f----- up.
    Let’s find the stems & mix it properly. That song has classic potential!
