    It was listenable up until Ems part. That flow is trash. It does not sound good at all which ever way you look at it.

    The beat is dope, but the mixing is horrible. You can barely hear what they say.

    That’s no excuse. Eminem would have heard the whole song before adding his verse.

    Also I dont think he did that for lord above and moon man either. They are dope.

    Mixing on this is also terrible lol. We can all blame em but Nas and his mixing team f----- up here too. Other songs dont have this problem

    Verse was ok (minus the "taco and nachos, burritos and Cheetos" stuff) ... but the last 30 seconds was completely unnecessary and taxing on my brain. He needs to chill the f--- out.

    Mixing is normally an issue when Eminem is involved for some reason lol

    How do you get on a Nas song and put out bars this corny?

    Wtf are these bars
    "I got more shells like Taco Bell"
    "I got no elves like Christmas"
    "I'm makin' it rain, dear"
    "Green on me but no weed" (isn't that like the 5th time he used this line)
    "I got pills, Tylenol 3"
    "I'm eatin' you B-I-T-C-H-E-S like tortilla chips"
    "Chia green is on Chia Pet"

    This is the Em feature formula. A bad verse with a choppy flow and cringey punchlines. Followed by really fast flow at the end so people can say "well at least he has his technical ability".

    Saturation can be great on vocals. But I don't think it works well with Eminem's voice, in excess. The distortion sort of muffles out the inflections and passion in his voice.

    The mixing of the vocals on Eminem Show and Encore were much better.

    In 2 minds here...

    As an Eminem fan, it's very disappointing. The usual, beat-killing extended verse with very little of interest said. Familiar, corny vocabulary, no synergy with the artists he's working with, and the beat is suspiciously s---... like it's been tinkered with and made worse by Eminem himself, something he seems to do a lot. The whole song is weird, a remix/sequel to a song from a movie soundtrack. It feels like it landed on this album because of star power.

    But on the plus side, it's a far cry from Eminem's worst, and not really bad, just disappointing because of the potential. It's probably the weakest song on a good album, but listenable and something scratched off the collab list.

    I quite enjoyed it tbh, but I know it's a song I won't be listening to in a week.
