    I would give it a 5...

    I am a MASSIVE Eminem fan but his recent work has me less and less interested in hearing new stuff from him. I don't care about the "I wish he would rap like MMLP" type of arguments, I don't want that because I know it's not possible. I do feel however, that Eminem has lost his ability to reach me.

    Technically, he gets better ... i guess? But who cares, it's not enjoyable to listen to any more.

    Sigh.

    *EDIT* There are glimpses of good work in this song, but it's too few and far between. I also hate is apologetic sentiment.

    If the mixing was better on Recovery,Bad Meets Evil,MMLP2 & Shady XV, i think subconsciously people wouldnt of hated them as much.

    No way this is better than a 6 at best.. The beat sounds unmastered, and the Mixing makes the vocals and hook come off as unfinished. However the hook is best part of the song and I personally like the beginning of the 2nd verse the most. Overall flow and delivery wasn't as bad as XV but the verses were very very average, and I think this should be expected at this point in his career.

    Maybe, but it doesn't bother me as much as Phenomenal. It really sounds s--- because of that. It would still be a average and generic song otherwise but at least a little more enjoyable

    If I don't enjoy it on the first listen then its not worth a second. I don't see the point in letting a track grow on you.

    5 or less. I'm thinking maybe a 4

    Mixing is garbage and it brings down the song below 5. Otherwise it would be a 6

    I stand by my 7/8. Everyone is entitled to to their opinions so here's mine

    First, the song was made for a film. It's supposed to be a motivational song and nothing more. Not personal (this isn't 8 mile) or groundbreaking. The beat is good and his flow seems to be improving. This is shown especially in the last verse. The hook is great too.

    What brings the song down for me is the awful mixing and Liz Rodriguez. When comparing it to some material on shadyxv, it's a step up. Is it better than Gof or fine line? Idk. Time will tell.

    if this wasn't for a movie soundtrack,im pretty sure the left hand reference would have include a jerking off reference. HE just cant help himself.

    I'm still sticking with my original score of 7 at times the song feels closer to an 8 but 7 seems more fitting. The only part that I don't like is the opening lines to the first verse reminds me of Recovery/HTS.

    Love the hook and the delivery of the third verse but lyrically the verses were mediocre so 6.5 ill genrously round up i guess because of the hook to a 7

    7-8 is totally fair..
    Em had to make a theme song and delivered.. Couldnt be nothing more to it..
    Mixing could be a lot better yes
    but I guess he wont stop working with average producers (see alex da kid etc.)

    7. Verses are good. Especially the 3rd verse is dope as f--- the flow is great. Hook is d--- sure addictive but the beat is wack as s---. If it was a lil better I'd give it 8-9 easily.
