    The expectations were really high. I think it's a solid song, but still eh. Everyone saw one other rap feature on the album, none other than Kendrick, and expected something groundbreaking (rightfully so). Then we got a decent song that seemed more like filler than the classic we wanted.

    I agree, @Michael Scott, I love this song. Third verse is probably as close as we will get to a modern day As The World Turns, storytelling-wise. I think this and Rap God are a close 1-2 on this album

    Edit: tbh I also love The Reunion's storytelling too

    I think part of the reason I love this so much is because I'm a huge fan of the song sampled

    I confess I'm a static addict I guess
    That's why I'm so clingy every girl I've ever had either says
    I got too much baggage or I'm too f---in' dramatic, man what the f--- is the matter? I'm just
    A f---in' romantic, I f---in' love you, you f---in' b----!

    Love that part

    Love the sample, and I like the song. Probably top 5 on mmlp2 for me too but not sure, especially if I include bonus.

    Eminem was very clever at using samples in MMLP2.
    I really love Kendrick's verse. Everything is good. Honourable shout out to the rhyme scheme​

    Agree with the sample part, also love the sample on ROR. Kendricks verse is nice but like others said I like Eminems 2nd verse the most

    ROR with Time of Reason is the song sampled many times in his story. The song Rolling Stone of Black Hippy was also sampled from.that, under Em's permission.
    Em's second verse is masterpiece.

    Man. Just listen to it again and it's funny as f---.
    Em's second verse > Kendrick verse> Em first verse, plush it's So Far flow. d---. It's incredible.
    I laughed a lot at this.

    I wouldn't expect them to fart down the mic for 4 minutes. That doesn't make it good

    been saying this since mmlp2 leaked
    the wayne,andre,kanye,lebron,akon etc part, kendricks voicemail, the chorus (when they sing together) and Ems second verse are like on the top 5 moments off mmlp2
