    I was mad as f--- on the first couple of listens (mostly considering we came from Houdini as the 1st single) so I gave it a 4, had to bump it up to a 5 after listening to it again now, not that it's growing on me but it's that middle of the road "I'll forget about this track" type of joint rather than something I would consider terrible

    Still can't comprehend why they picked this one as the 2nd single, especially a throwaway from a mediocre album but that's besides the song itself I guess

    I mean my main complain is just how short Em part is, but we are gonna get probably more than 1 hour of music in 10 days so I’m ok with that.
    Also Tron and Sean did amazing.

    Not what I expected but I’m happy with it.

    Nah hardly new fam. Sounds similar. It all sounds similar, this for example is not a million miles away from say his vibe on From the D 2 the LBC, which was 2022.

    This is definitely the longest and most distinct lack of new style from Em. As in... mmlp to tes was pretty stark, musically, an evolution; tes to encore, he smoothened out... encore to relapse is insane... relapse to recovery is insane... mmlp2... revival not so much, just more of the same but worse; Kami... pretty nice switch-up, then he got smoother with mtbmb era and has kinda stayed in that zone since. He's never doing much new with his voice now.

    But, I don't really care if the content is new or compelling. But, something has to be. Can't just be rapping similarly, and about the exact same s--- as the past... 6 years obsessively.

    I'm not sure if this will be a instant classic, but I know I'm gonna absolutely love it. ***The album I mean***

    My main complaint after a few listens is that it doesn't seem like an eminem song, I don't hate the song but you can tell it was for the lyrical lemonade album. So to me I dunno how it's gonna fit, but whatever don't gotta love everything on an album

    Someone’s theory that they just made this a single because they already had the lyrical lemonade video filmed is the only thing that makes sense to me right now

    My guess is it's Eminem killed Slim Shady and realizing he doesn't need Slim to be the GOAT.

    Always gonna be a spread.

    Biggest shock to me was popping on Boxden for once, which I mainly stopped going on cos Em breathes and they say it's trash - to see 4 pages of people saying it's the first Em song they've f----- with in ages.

    Just trying to give some balance, cos there's a few who had been dreaming of some Dre and 50 Cent throwback or something - so think their disappointment equals how the song is perceived out of section 80.

    I kinda sit through the other 2 even if they are not bad. But I love eminems energy without trying ti be impressive

    Houdini was amazing but he can keep this style the album can be f---ing gr8 imo

    I see what you mean. Eminem doesn’t normally rap on beats with minimal drums like this. There’s also not a whole lot in the verse that relates to the concept of the album. Plus, Eminem’s verse feels shorter than the others to me for some reason even though I know they’re all probably the same length

    I don’t know who’s verse I like better but the fact that he held his own with Eminem on a track is awesome

    I'm just glad the features did their thing, a good rap feature that isn't Royce is pretty rare these days on an eminem album
