    It legit ruined the whole song for me. I was atleast hoping for a passable verse. Something I could listen to and not feel embarrassed if someone heard it in public. But this s--- is cringe to the max. Honestly I woulda taken Hopsin on this instead of that Em s---

    No favors was made in 2014. When Em and Sean made Detroit vs Everybody. Just listen Em's flow, it is the same as "Calm Down" and "Twerk Dat".
    His new album will be flawless

    Well his subject was on point.. He is going to do the world "no favors" by not changing the way he raps. That's why he talks about celebrities/violence. He's been doing that s--- since '99. The Jamie Lee Curtis stanza is called stacking syllables which he has been playing with the last couple years. Each line has less and less syllables until it dies off at one word which is "thermos". His whole tirade on Ann Coulter goes along with the "I saw them eyes (sodomize), like an a--- r---r" line.. hes going to "sodomize" her with all of those things.. he also implies she's racist with the "klan poster".

    There is some clever wordplay and good subject matter in here too with the lines about people copping his style, the pit bull double entendre, the hernandez/brady lines, the 2pac reference, the police brutality message, the white bronco stanza, the Michael Myers reference, etc.

    His flow was a little unconventional and felt a little choppy, but I think overall the lyrics were pretty good. A lot people's first reaction was to hate it completely because they don't understand what he is talking about or the message he was trying to get across. I think this verse was way over-hyped, but I don't think its the worst verse of all time.. that's a little bit of an over reaction..

    There.. i defended it.. can I get a medal now? I wonder how many people I'm going to piss off with this post.. lmao :thinkinghmmm:

    The worst part I see is that this was a acapela placed over a beat. Medicine man was dope , but these campaign speech left overs are trash. What a shame. Last dollar.20 I'll spend on iTunes that's all She writer guys

    It wasn't made in 2014 lol, he mentions Brady coming back which happened October 2016.

    Anyways the cycle's the same every time with this s---:

    -New Em guest verse leaks
    -95% of the forum, including some stans think it's awful..Many call it the worst thing ever.
    -The number eventually creeps to about 50/50 or close to it, with most of the 50% on the 'it's not bad' side being people coming up with excuses or reasons to defend it..usually something about it being a throwaway verse or Em was just 'messing around' and 'having fun' or one about how it's an old style Em won't use anymore for his new album.
    -1 or 2 of the elite posters (BC in this case, Swizz, Koolo, WPG etc in the past) make a thread completely destroying the verse.

    Always a fun time lol, but the cycle's completely different for a new Em album, maybe even a new song..This was just for guest verses.

    Once again Spatula I have to call you out for misinterpreting a line bub.

    Those random things mentioned in Brainless had context. He is Brainless...and the 'void' that he mentions of where his brain should be is instead full of those items.

    Step ya game up son

    It's funny...is it the most clever line ever? Nah. But it definitely has context.

    But the song is about Eminem having no brain and growing up being dumb and then becoming a rapper after flunking school and such

    Instead of conventional intelligence he names of random objects that he stores in his head besides a brain

    Where did you get that idea? I like Em but I don't pretend everything he does is amazing. I've been bitching about the flow for awhile now.
