Eminem He's rapping just how he did in BET freestyle, just like you all convinced yourself he wouldn't

    The elephant in the room. Yeah it came off better because there was some type of music in the background, an actual hook, and the record was personal/didn't have any real corny lines.

    But his approach to rhyming and rapping is exactly like the BET freestyle. And everyone s--- on it, and said he wouldn't do that on a real album/a real song. But he did, so what now?

    He's rapping slow because he'll get winded as proven in the Freestyle. Eminem cannot hold a flow anymore. Also, this was the worst song that he has ever made, let alone lead single. Worst Eminem song ever, even worse than Big Weenie and Puke, to be honest.

    He just did back to back shows not even a few months ago didn’t he? And he did all those songs no problem lol
    Quoting myself
    Others have said that if he would’ve went out there and put out a single about how insecure he is and cracking under the pressure and delievered a hit with this amazing beat and flow it kind of would’ve went against the song which makes a lot of sense how are you going to be confident on a song like this lol

    So because he's rapping about how bad he is at rap, that means it's a good rap?

    Sounds like he just got back from running a 10mile marathon on this song

    Sounds exactly like campaing speach. Guess this is his new flow

    Relapse- accents
    Recovery- yelling
    Mmlp2 - stop and go
    Revival - acapella flow

    Like I said to you earlier, lol.

    But this had a meaning with emotion behind it, yeah the cypher had a meaning to, & it was gradually praised by a wide audience as well, but it’s different this time cause he is speaking to his fans, yeah he was speaking to his fans too on the cypher, but nobody really cares about politics and trump, as much as we do with his music & there was no awkward bars or lines.

    With that being said WOW < Cypher

    the most frustrating part is he's definitely doing this on purpose...the man is clearly extremely self-aware (maybe to a fault) which makes me think this is a creative decision. instead of experimenting with different sounds, themes, concepts, song structure, etc. he experiments with his voice and flow. it's sad b/c he may be the most naturally gifted rapper in those departments and i firmly believe he could bring back "the warning" flow if he wanted to...he just doesn't

    Yeah and that's probably the biggest issue with the song, otherwise it'd be real good. Content and lyrics are fine, but it just doesn't sound right and mainly cuz of that imo.

    That's true Kon, it would be good if he sounded normal but this awkward flow makes it sound like a chore. Once the 'new' wears off and people start acknowledging that this is the same weird rapping he did on the BET freestyle well...we'll see when we get there. And if the whole album is like this then RIP Eminem.
