Jan 22, 2026 at 6:01 AM nope. all we know jeff bass talked to jimmy iovine about this and jimmy told him to nevermind. but this is f---ing weird to me.
Jan 22, 2026 at 7:48 AM when did he say this? i’ve always thought this is a really fascinating verse. the lyrics and cadence are still relatively prime, but he slows down his delivery to match the beat but it doesn’t really work here and makes him sound slow or off. plus he’s starting to do that whatever you’d call it where the rhyming words all start to blur together as his delivery is significantly impaired by drugs exhaustion stress etc. it’s an interesting look at the transition between tes and encore. devastating, but interesting
Jan 22, 2026 at 8:33 AM The first time we saw that slowed down flow I think would be My Name with Xzibit.
Jan 22, 2026 at 9:10 AM I like Don't Push Me. The writing and flows are sloppy by his standards up to that point, but the emotional intensity in his delivery makes up for it all. Good stuff.
