Dec 8, 2017 This song sounds more like Eminem. Third verse is good, but it's another song I find myself not replaying or listening to over and over again. These recent politics related songs he's been putting out are reminding me of how good Mosh is and how far behind these songs are in comparison to Mosh or even White America. That's my honest humble opinion. 5/10
Dec 8, 2017 Nah f--- that this is not what I expect form Dr Dre's golden boy. How the f--- Em lets someone mix his song like this.
Dec 8, 2017 Being a young black man, I connected with the message in this and agree with him. I already knew that a ton of people on here wouldn't like this as soon as I heard it, but I see it as him making a statement. No, it's not the greatest song he's ever made, and of course it's not single material. I see it as him having something to say, and him being someone who grew up in a very poor area in Detroit... I'm not surprised he feels this way. Especially considering how he's still in Detroit, still connecting with people he's always known. I think a lot of Hip Hop fans are upset by the content in what a lot of rappers have to say in recent times, not just Eminem. But the reality is, rap is a predominantly black genre, and many of these rappers come from less than ideal living conditions. It's entertainment to fans, but to rappers and to people still experiencing these situations, it's reality. The fact is, many people who live in more blessed situations can turn off the music and won't pay a second mind to what's going on with the other side, and that doesn't mean people who are more fortunate should feel guilty, but it does mean that it's something to keep in mind when you're going throughout your day -- there are people who have it much worse than you, and just because you don't experience something, doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all. As for him speaking from a black person's perspective... I'd say he more or less touched on it accurately without overstepping his boundaries. He has to be careful when it comes to this, because the last thing people want right now is a popular white rapper trying to be the "savior" and speak for black folks, especially when there's plenty of perfectly capable black rappers that are more than vocal on the issue. Nobody wants to be a Macklemore (Sorry Mack). But I understood what the goal was, and I'm with it. The song will connect with who it's meant to connect to, and he's made his point perfectly clear.
Dec 8, 2017 Ok my initial rating was a 6, but I finally got to listen to this on a proper sound system instead of my phone. Sounds much better, and content is great. It's actually the first time he comes up with actual substance since Recovery. Solid 7/10. I would have given it a 8/9 if the vocals were more layered, the first beat a bit less messy and if it wasn't so d--- long.
Dec 8, 2017 f--- that intro blueballed me. I was ready for some huge cinematic trap take on white america, but then the shadyxv beat and voice with 100% compression and 0% reverb kicked in.... Seriously that intro is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks. The rest of the song pales in comparison
Dec 8, 2017 The mixing of the voice is way to upfront. It makes it seem like the vocal and the beat exist in two different worlds, and that makes it really hard for me to immerse myself in the atmosphere. It was the exact same with Walk on Water, No Favours and Campaign Speech. His audio engineers should have been fired long ago man.
Dec 8, 2017 Dude if Chlaroseptic sounds like the intro to this track (with it being the previous track on the album) it could be a classic song. Just dont f--- up the mix please
