I'm disappointed. It's not the type of song I wanted to hear from them... Don't get me wrong, Eminem pen game was sick and that beat switch part was hard, but overall it wasn't something monumental like Nas X Em song should be.

I think the highlight of this track was EPMD back together. Nas verse only took off on the last few bars when he said something about Hip-Hop faking death etc. Em verse sounded like scrapped bars from Kick Off freestyle.

I was hyped after first listen, but hype died pretty quick.

Jay-Z won. He got the better Eminem verse

he has wrote some really clever lyrics in the past 3-4 years (even better than his prime in terms of his worldplay) just needs to not over do it and the fact its usually delivered in a skippy flow kinda masks how good they are. The last verse of Believe is up there with his best. And the violin outro to that song is the most eminem-sounding thing ive heard since tes.

True statement, hate to go down this road
But there's only one route to cross this bridge
So I walk in this b---- with loose change
'Cause all my dues paid, but this booth's takin' its toll

some of his best bars ever imo.

To me, it's between meh and good, but not great or trash.

A song with both Nas and Em on it should never, and I mean never, be just 'meh'. They f----- up.

I want to believe Nas deliberately ended his verse on the word spaghetti.

Nas won with:

Closed casket flow, all you n----s get deaded
They don't give you one single rose while you can smell it
So I pick from my own garden (Garden)
Wanna go out in my garden like Godfather
Grandkids and a Rottweiler got over the block trauma

huge fax. I really wasn't a fan of how Mike mixed Recovery (vocal wise, but i guess part of that was his multi-layered shouting delivery) and most stuff he did up until Revival, lots of compression, but the mixing deffo got better from kamikaze onwards. All recorded on a Sony c800g aswell I believe. Still miss the classic analogue smoothness of when he was recording with the Bass Brothers which peaked in 2000-2002 tho, especially the ones that where mixed by Dre. MMLP is Eminems best album sonically speaking for me, the vocals are amazing and the Mastering is perfect., Who even mastered MMLP was it that Big Bass guy

Interesting post. I respect your opinion

Its I got Noel's (no L's) which is slick af

The chia line is crypto currency

That's alot of bucks flying when I'm making it reindeer.

I got pills tylenol 3's, prolly 2 or 3 molly, "some are E", which reminds me of rap "summary" which is a song by big daddy kane...which ties into the kane refrence coming up.

You're judging the set ups before he even gets to the analogy, or you just don't get or miss the entire refrence
The pill lines are used to get to some are E/ summary to. Not every set up has to be the best godamn punchline ever, but his intertwining rhymes and refrences is incredible. Hes really good at utilizing homophones and alliteration now days. Most people on here cant name many literary devices a rapper can use but feel so confident in judging how he writes and delivers things. Bc if anything sounds different than what you're used to you say it's "off beat" which tells me you have no concept of what on beat means bc his syllables and phrases are always matching percussion and internal rhythms of the beats he's on. But you didnt even get the lines right so of course you're not gonna pay attention. You listen once and judge the first things you catch. Em word play and refrences get pretty dense at times. And yeah I know the response is gonna be " BUT ITS NOT SONICALLY PLEASING TO MAH EARS ITS THE MIXING" when you all dont even know what mixing is. Ppl keep talking about engineers and producers touching his vocals. All of eminems vocals are mixed by him and mike strange, they have been for many many years. When dre mixes a song he gets a vocal print of what em and mike did and just fits them to the rest of the track.

One of the most common posts I see whenever Em releases iffy music.

"It has grown on me". "It's not that bad after a few listens" "It's definitely a grower"

Just say it sucks ffs. If you don't like something on the first couple spins then you don't really like what you're hearing so why try so hard to like it? If it wasn't Eminem you would have just moved on to the next song.
