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.

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

Never heard it

The first time we saw that slowed down flow I think would be My Name with Xzibit.

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.

It reminds me of Say What You Say.

A while ago, I read somewhere that many of DJ Head’s drums weren’t actually credited, but they only listed Lose Yourself as an example (I knew it sounded like something he did). So we would have to use his sound to know every one he did. Superman seems like one that could be a Head beat.

There’s also no “Guitar” credit on Superman, which is kinda weird considering it’s driven by a little guitar lick the whole way through.

Bass is only credited to keyboards and bass. The guitar sounds exactly like his style though.

of course it is jeff bass. they might have thought it is not necessary while he is already credited as additional producer. it might have something to do with royalties maybe.

I was always impressed by how the strings at the end of Cleaning Out My Closet. Is it possible that the guitars I. superman aren't real guitars but are sounds on a keyboard and Jeff is just playing it all on a keyboard?

Also I was looking at the original Slim Shady LP credits and the credits from the Expanded Release and the credits are so different.Is Mr B one of the Bass Brothers? Did Dr Dre mix the slim shady LP but not want his name on there?

Which strings do you mean? The violin? And nah that guitar on Superman absolutely sounds live. I thinks that’s Jeff’s Fender.
