    for me it's

    and now transgenders attack us, frontwards and backwards
    they laughin', throwing midgets at us

    after all the midget and transgender bars in the songs before it, it just f---ing works real well when listening in sequence

    How could you go from "new classic" to "meh"?

    I think it works for me because this is how he would approach social issues back in like 2003. It feels the most mean-spirited actually of all the tracks and is sequenced just before the full Shady takeover and then take down. It probably drives home the point of Shady in 2024 is different than back then, which I think is where some of the pushback comes from.

    The beat is pretty disappointing for a Dre beat though.

    I'm lucky I wasn't eating or drinking anything the first time I heard him mock a deaf person in GC2 because I 1000% would have had s--- all over me. I laughed out loud

    you agree that it has the same issues I pointed out and you tolerate them or you don't think those are issues at all? or rather that they're part of the reason "it works" in making the case that Shady's not for today's world?

    No, cause it sounds like they were running low on budget money

    I know it's been said before, but it really seems like this album is what he wanted MMLP2 to be. Just executed 1000x better.

    Rick Rubin really tried to sabotage Eminem's career

    These preorders is the only thing that can save them. They f----- up the physicals big time.
    I know it is normal nowadays not to hurry with them but Em's fanbase loves gadgets.

    I don't mind the hook that much but I wouldn:t like that kind of s--- on my album if I was a rapper. Sounds like something sung by a drunkard.

    If you record 200 songs for an album it's a given that some of them are gonna be s---, It's Em's fault for choosing what to put on the main album, unless you think ALL of it is s---

    The fact that Marsh can criticise Fuel in any way is beyond comprehension. Not one thing you can pick apart with that song and it’s easily one of the best collaborations he has ever done. Simple as that.

    Man if he'd said that before 2016 when he would have ended that line saying fa---- instead of midget it would have hit even harder

    Vibevilla reaction to Guilty Conscience 2 is just too good.

    Eminem going number 1 and blocking Taylor Swift is worth it solely based on seeing her stans crash out

    I think I view it as pivotal to the overall story of the album, so it works for me from that standpoint. Not something I’d listen to on its own, but in the sequencing of the album itself I think something like it is needed. If that makes sense?
