Nov 12, 2017 This album is going to have some classics. I guarantee. If the flow was changed slightly then walk on water would have been one.
Nov 12, 2017 I respect this song so much. How deep he really got into all the insecurities that comes with his craft. His frustration with the mumble rap sound. I personally agree with Eminem here. Can’t bash on his unique world play and flows; when you have mumble rappers sounding like they suffer from down syndrome on a beat.
Nov 14, 2017 For all the s--- I give him about his flow recently and his inability to craft a great song, there's no denying he has moments of great writing. His final verse of Bad Guy is probably the best example. However, there's a few bars on ShadyXV of all records that I really like that touches on what you're talking about @Koolo, on the song Fine Line Till I, sit in the dark and I reflect And my reflection shows what it's like here Cause this vanity, surrounded by all these lights, yeah It's like a nightmare I said, this vanity surrounded by these lights is a nightmare And I don't like how I see myself, so I open the Bible to Isaiah I don't know how he does it, but whenever I hear the lines "Cause this vanity, surrounded by all these lights, yeah, It's like a nightmare" I can just see him on stage with a spotlight on him, with thousands of people taking pictures of him with flash photography and him being incredibly vain. Then when he goes onto repeat it almost verbatim "I said, this vanity surrounded by these lights is a nightmare And I don't like how I see myself, so I open the Bible to Isaiah" I can just see him sitting alone in a room in front of a vanity with the lightbulb around it completely isolated with a bible on the desk in front of him. I remember those lines really struck me as well written and really conveyed the tone of the whole song really well. It's so frustrating that he has the ability to write and deliver these amazing bars but that he would rather focus on rhyming every syllable and goes on to follow up poetry like that with lines like "staying fiester than a triceratoos" in his stop start flow. WTF
Nov 14, 2017 It's ok, certainly one of the better ones on ShadyXV but that's like comparing brussel sprouts to dogshit. I just get so frustrated with him f---ing the songs up for the sake of things like forcing an extra rhyme out of a word like triceratops which is incredibly jarring and out of place in the context of the otherwise smooth flow and natural rhymes in the verse
