Dec 31, 2014 Stan is an 11/10 song. But so is Power I'm not saying that one is better than the other, they're both equal to me.
Dec 31, 2014 I sorta of know how you feel, the Shiny Suit Era might not have been from a purist standpoint the most celebrated time but it was my introduction into hip-hop and all the songs from that time are timeless to me. Em's heyday was crazy looking back at it now and in retrospect it would have been more praised if he still made music of that caliber as far as the last 5 years go. He's had his moments tho
Dec 31, 2014 dumb f---ing d12 actually turned power beat down...that alone tells you how s--- they are
Dec 31, 2014 I didn't hear it ten years later lol, but I get your point You're kind of proving MY point though. That it's context etc thats still keeping the song so high in your eyes. Not the quality it self (not saying it's bad, it's still a good song. Eminem didn't really make bad music at that time)
Dec 31, 2014 eminem doesn't make bad music now his music is excellent now besides kangay produced the worst song on d12 world
Dec 31, 2014 music stringed with a timeline should be excluded from the "Aging" argument to begin with yes i know about the timeless music argument...but when music is so attached to the culture, you shouldnt judge its aging years later...i know im explaining this horribly but i hope you get what i mean when marshall made his albums...he knew it was cultured influenced...so ofc it will not age as well as TES for example...so imo the arguments against it is invalid
Dec 31, 2014 eminem is the goat 'Til I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em 'til the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing 'em Cause when I am not, then I'mma stop penning 'em And I am not hip hop and I'm just not Eminem Subliminal thoughts, when I'mma stop sending 'em? Women are caught in webs, spin 'em and hock venom Adrenalin shots, the penicillin could not get the illing to stop Amoxicillin's just not real enough The criminal cop-killing hip hop villain A minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners You're coming with me, feel it or not you're gonna fear it Like I showed you the spirit of God lives in us You hear it a lot, lyrics to shock Is it a miracle or am I just product of pop fizzing up For shizzle my wizzle, this is the plot, listen up You bizzles forgot, Slizzle does not give a f--- Music is like magic, there's a certain feeling you get When you real and you spit and people are feeling your s--- This is your moment, and every single minute you spend Tryna hold on to it because you may never get it again So while you're in it, try to get as much s--- as you can And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end Because I'm at the end of my wits with half the s--- that gets in I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy So when I'm not put on this list, the s--- does not offend me That's why you see me walking 'round like nothing's bothering me Even though half you people got a f---in' problem with me You hate it but you know respect you got to give me The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney, Nate, hit me Soon as a verse starts, I eat at an MC's heart What is he thinking, how not to go against me, smart And it's absurd, how people hang on every word I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve But I'll never be served, my spot is forever reserved If I ever leave Earth, that would be the death of me first Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers But I don't want to go forth and back in constant battles The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers So this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at 'em The track is on some battling raps, who want some static? Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters A plaque and platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest game set match
Dec 31, 2014 No I defintely get what you're saying...but that's why it gets so hard to compare it to kanye's albums. They were both different artists trying to accomplish different things
