Jun 2, 2024 I mean, the TRSS hook is literally sampling a famous line from a gameshow that had been out years.
Jun 2, 2024 how good is 25M for a music video in 3 days? I know it's a lot of views, I just don't know what it means when it comes to buzz and that kind of s---
Jun 2, 2024 I think I said its about the only song I may consciously be inclined to go back to listen to out of the whole of Side A and B. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's nothing special though. I wouldn't call Houdini pure trash but its boring and sounded stale very quickly.
Jun 2, 2024 The one thing I’ll say about the song that frustrates me is: All this time. All, this time. You could adjust your flow back to that and you choose not to? Lol Like, salute for trying new flows even if it made everyone mad, but, hearing “Houdini” on repeated listens the flow stood out to me. That s--- to me sounded effortless like it use to be. Same s--- when it was “Revival” to “Kamikaze”. Like d--- you had that in you the whole time? Lol. You have a golden gun stop being afraid to use it more.

Jun 2, 2024 Caught sleepin’ and see the kidnappin’ never did happen Like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini, I vanish into thin air as I’m leaving
Jun 2, 2024 Considering shape of you is Ed’s biggest song, and Eminem got better views than it, it’s really f---ing good bro
Jun 2, 2024 I agree somewhat and I was feeling a bit mad over that s--- too like "it's not that you couldn't, you didn't want to" but I have a feeling we would've talked s--- about how he's always doing the same s--- and never evolving if he'd done this for the last decade (not defending his shittier decisions when it comes to post hiatus music and I'd cut off my d-ck before I ever defend Revival)
Jun 2, 2024 Can definitely hear that the Guess Who’s Back is re-recorded, but a bit harder to notice with the da da das lol
Jun 2, 2024 I think it's great yeah, especially considering em's been around for almost 3 decades, that's crazy
Jun 2, 2024 That’s why I always say “Recovery” was a gift and curse. A “Necessary evil” When I first seen that tracklist I thought it was fake. Lol. But, then the realization kicked in and I was like: “Oh no” But, had he not gone in a completely different route, would we care as much or complain ironically that he never did anything new? Crazy when you think about it.
Jun 2, 2024 Ok maybe that rules out my point of it being 100% original but still. Is that really a comparable sample? He took a bit of a phrase and twisted it in his own way. The Houdini hook was just an exact replica of Abracadabra, even in the same key.
