    I have no problem with Em’s verse on the song though tbh. In fact, I wish it was longer.

    True. Marsh is one of my favorite posters and this is one of the reasons

    The song is good, Em’s verse is good, so that’s understandable

    Most of the complaints here aren’t actually about the track itself, it’s more so what surrounds it which casual fans won’t really care about

    Where/how does it fit on the album? Why are we getting an Eminem feature where he only gets a 90 second verse as a second single? Why the chainsaw & Jason Mask in the music video/teaser?

    I feel like the reception would be completely different and more universally positive if this was just a feature on the Lyrical Lemonade album, like it was supposed to be. This doesn’t feel worthy of an album placing, let alone as a single…and that’s just my honest take. I still like the song though.

    Em flows nicely & sounds hungry. With this being towards the end of the album at track 17 and him calling himself the GOAT on this verse, if the next few tracks are him cementing/realising his status as the GOAT, then in hindsight I guess it could be a good fit for the album. Otherwise it seems like a random Big Sean/Baby Tron song with an Em verse stuck to it, which seems kinda lazy & not in the direction of the cohesive, themed album we all want

    It doesn't flow at all. It sounds like a couple of throwaway verses mixed together and glued with saliva. For years, I've heard Em was choppy on MMLP2. No. This verse is the real definition of choppy. It has no natural melody to it. As for the content, it was alright, but sounds ridiculous. Even unintentionally comical at times.

    This is an OK track. But it's not single or even album worthy. Should of just stayed on the lemonade album

    After hearing the mixed opinions here, I expected worse. It's at least atmospheric. It's definitely a weird single choice, but imagine this in the midst of an album, it could fit somewhere well.
    On the downside, it does just sound like yet another MTBMB/2021-2023 feature verse from Em. It's a completely different sounding Em compared to Houdini. Doesn't bode well for the cohesion of the album.
    Thank God we only have to wait another 10 days. It would feel like s--- to hear this questionable song and then have to wait another full month.

    this song is hilarious
    baby tron and eminem together is already the funniest thing ever
    tobey maguire got bit by no f---ing spider
    the only thing connecting baby tron and big sean's verses is actually a line about Star Wars (he says he's obi wan and big sean says then I must be yoda)
    eminem opens his verse repeating the d--- stupid line

    and that's it. this is why Tobey Maguire today woke up from his mid day nap with a song dedicated to him

    His mom must be giving him a generous allowance for him to be able to afford all that merch.

    Proof Eminem had the best verse, but big Sean was close
    Red Highlight = Fire
    Orange Highlight = Nice
    None Highlight = Mid
    Purple Highlight = Trash

    Verse 1: BabyTron]
    No español, I’m allergic to rojo and legally blind, all I’m seein’ is gold
    D to the A, there and back, if we ride with the Drac’, can’t smoke from the T to the O

    Upped in the b----, you can keep what you owe
    Granny told me, “Boy, you reap what you sow”
    Do the most, we over, even the score
    Steady on the run, glued his feet to the floor
    Up in my Tesla, I’m rollin’ up ‘Ishers, I stopped at Valero, think I should quit smokin’
    Life is a gamble and I’m playin’ slots, pull it down, close my eyes and I pray I win tokens
    All Wock’, no pop, how we drive, you can come and take a baby sip, still tasted just potent
    One of one, sittin’ ’round the stars, double R, finna race, hit the Wraith, like a spaceship it’s floatin’
    All this drip, think I am below sea level
    Cut your own wrist off with that weak bezel
    Ride around with the iron giant, make ’em eat metal
    Watch unc’ break a rock down to three pebbles
    Bam-bam, down three, hit the grand slam
    Four pockets full, fully switched, go wham-wham
    Pants cramp, pull it out, I’m countin’ ’til my hands cramp
    Road DSM on the beach, not a sand stand



    [Verse 2: Big Sean]
    They wanna bleed me and lead me to act like they need me, but f--- it, I do it alone (Woah)
    She wanna touch me and rub me and go back to hubby, he probably could smell my cologne (d---)
    I was immersed in the Merce, I show ’em no mercy, I really was watchin’ the throne (For real)
    n----s ain’t turnin’ me down, when my baby asleep only time that I’m watchin’ my tone (Shh)
    We don’t want chips with a chip on our shoulder
    If he Obi-Wan, then I gotta be Yoda
    Don’t need no promoter, we pull up, they know us
    I’m the Ayatollah snatching your controller

    I don’t give a f--- about you when I’m focused
    f--- all the drugs you take, I’m takin’ over

    I paid attention, don’t need no payola
    Can’t take ‘way from me, you just need to take cover (Frr)
    I can paint a picture like I made the stencil
    f--- your whole image, I’m with Cole Bennett

    I don’t know what the f--- they done told n----s
    I put all of my heart and my soul in it
    I met you in person, you so different
    I can’t listen to you for a whole minute
    Took a blood test, ain’t no ho in it
    Watch your motherfuckin’ mouth ‘fore I go in it
    They like, “No, he didn’t,” got ’em more invested
    If it’s one thing I make, I make no exceptions

    I got new addresses, I got no reception
    I got love and hate comin’ from both directions
    b----, I come from the D where they BMFing
    Where they movin’ them keys like a chord progression

    b----, I’m omnipresent, I got no reflection
    Made a livin’ off bars, I need no correction
    (No)
    Grindin’ s--- out, gotta stay patient
    While you outside, we on staycation
    Locked the f--- in, ain’t no playin’ for real ‘less you playmakin’
    I take the chances you hate takin’
    f--- it, dog, I’ma go Wes Craven
    I’m at the safe, f--- a safe haven
    They play with my name and I can’t take it


    Eminem
    Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, me? Must’ve got bit by a goat (Yeah)
    I used to dream as a kid I would grow (Baa)
    To be one, I hope that I inspire hope (For what?)
    For you to go get what you desire most (Yeah
    )
    Spit fire, b----, I was just flyin’ coach (Yeah)
    Y’all thought you was sick, you were misdiagnosed (Nope)
    I’m dope and you’ll never have this high a dose (Nope, yeah)
    Now my estates in the buildin’, and b----, I done slept on more floors than the Empire State (‘Pire State) Building
    I got so many stories, but I hate ceilings (Haha)

    Ain’t feelin’ your top five favorite rappers (Woo)
    So I know they ’bout to be pissed at me (Why?)

    But this, to me, is a mystery
    How rappers I’ve already ripped could be (What?)
    Higher up on a list than me (Ha)
    Yet here I sit on your list though at five (Hm), which still was fine
    But just know inside, to me, that s---’s hilarious, so when I (Haha)
    Get dissed though and by a pioneer
    Who was one of the reasons why I am here
    They tell me I should just let that s--- go and slide (Why?)
    “Melle Mel shouldn’t get no reply” (Why?)
    “That man is a legend,” b----, so am I (Haha, yeah)

    And anyone else who thinks it’d be wise and easy as pie
    To beat me and tries, can treat me just like poison (What?), they can eat me and die (Hehe)
    Middle finger stuck up, but I never conceded
    When have I ever retreated? (Never) You never seen it

    Every dream that I ever dreamt, I exceeded
    Cement my legacy, I definitely did controversy, I always said all I needed

    Treat it like a truck, hit it head-on, I meet it (Krrk)
    I get on a beat and it’s like that “Eye of the Tiger” song is playin’ on my head on repeat
    I been knocked down so many times, can’t count (Ugh)
    Sometimes, s--- does not pan out
    That’s just the way that the card hand’s dealt
    Jon Manzel, odd man out (What?)
    But heavyweight, word to Scott Van Pelt
    I can’t help but feel like a victim of child abuse
    ‘Cause I am ’bout to get that g.d. belt (Now strap, man)

    Way beyond crazy, Shady gone, but hey, maybe, I am the GOAT
    With Big Sean and BabyTron, and that’s why they be on the s--- they be on, ’cause (Ugh)
