Jan 19, 2015 s80 took over the database of SL with about 10k members if I'm not mistaken .. so you are lying to yourself
Jan 19, 2015 I'm not mad though. I wish everybody luck and I won't be the one to bash someone for promoting their forum with such a nice promo tactic. Besides, in the same timespan that the forums have been active we've gained more members. But this is not the time nor the place to discuss such matter as it would just make people think that I'm trying to promote or such.
Jan 19, 2015 Cypher was entertaining, felt like he was in a battle mind state with those pauses. Some lines were the same old s--- but there's plenty of great moments on it.
Jan 19, 2015 4. Fine Line - Eminem did a great job on this, the mixer, not so much. Song's perfectly listenable if you excuse the few but noticeable volume change switch ups that are out of place (See near end of 2nd Verse). The main beat's dope but that transition to the chorus doesn't seem right. The first verse isn't anything special to me but the 2nd & 3rd are great, even the bridge in between them's dope. "So a martyr is how I paint myself And through my harrowin' ordeals I’m so vain I want my respect But ignore the butterfly effect that comes from my dialect 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 Cause I swear to Christ there are nights when I stay up and might And say a prayer twice just to make sure God hears Cause this ice layer I skate on's a nice way of putting it, but I like stayin' Feistier than a triceratops and like a dice player I got a nice paradise here, sealed off in my lair Away from the bs good safe place to sit and talk s--- From this house it's quite big, but it ain't when you can't leave it And I feel so isolated, nice I made it But it's like I paid the price of fame twice, I hate it" "It sucks, sometimes I just wanna walk into Target and look at s--- and browse, I don't even want to buy nothin' I just wanna f---in' walk around inside it Look how excited I sound when I get to talkin' bout life and Everything about it I miss, which now reminds me Put a thousand lighters in the sky for the Outsidaz Wow, I must have had Alzheimer's Long time since I shouted them out, 'bout time Cause it's been on my mind lately how Zee, you always supported me You vouched, I will never forget that and How you guys accepted me for me and Pace I love you too, you slept on my couch And I've been thinkin' 'bout the time when I slept on the floor at The Outhouse Rhyming's all we ever wanted to do And regardless how life has turned out Inside I'm, I'll always be an outsider" Outsidaz shoutout might have been too little too late as Young Zee made a cringeworthy response to it. Despite my criticisms of the song mixing, Fine Line gets a 8/10. 5. Right For Me - Another song with bars, bars, bars, bars and more bars full of random s---. Nice to know he knows who Jay Electronica is, wonder if he saw his Benzino interview lmao. When I listen to this, the only thing thing I got a problem with is the subject matter(s). Yeah he's doing shock value raps but everything's he's talking about is so random it's extremely difficult to follow along for a bunch of listens, which is actually most likely what he wanted to happen. As a song, it feels like he got an album worthy beat but he's rapping like he's free styling the s---. The flow on this actually reminded me of Underground a little... I'll give this a 6/10. 6. Lose Yourself Demo - idk how I should rate this since it's a demo. Ummm final product's a 10/10 lol next. 7. Twisted (w/Skylar Grey & Yelawolf) - This is Stronger Than I Was meets Love The Way You Lie meets a really good Yelawolf verse. Nice concept, Skylar & Em's singing's listenable & Yelawolf delivers a verse that got me to start respecting him a bit more (One slip-up and it 's back to Yellowolf). Not gonna hate on this but it's nothing amazing, should've been but on Skylar's album. 6.5/10. 8. Vegas (BME) - So you kids believe this song's the best BME song since 99? I have to laugh at that and raise you The Reunion. It's not bad, it's like a Loud Noises if it didn't absolutely s--- minus the rest of slaughterhouse. These vocal effects are killing me though. Ugh. Not necessary. Em's verse is just alright & Royce doesn't do anything for me on this, which is disappointing considering PRhyme's amazing. Song's just average to me, nothing really spectacular here. 5.510. 9. Pychopath Killer (Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, Eminem) - Favorite song with Em on Shady XV without question. Yelawolf impressed me again with a fantastic hook, Royce & Crooked (needed a longer verse!) did their thing, I don't have to hear Joe Budden act like a sad f--- (Where's Ortiz at?) & Eminem was in his element on here. "Oh but I know I gotta meet a lot of requirements First I gotta accept you in the lobby and the aisle and You've probably already been with all the slaughter and I am in No mood to be playin' second fiddle, slob on this violin With no strings attached I'm just the product of a hostile environment But bein' brought up so wrought up inspired But I don't know why, it's still like I'm caught up inside a whirlpool Not an appliance, but applyin' this science, I psychotically rhyme And it's like stars have aligned all in alliance Heart of a lion, balls of Goliath Obscene talkin', the twine like a beanstalk and the vine But I keep walkin' the line between the wrong and the right But everything I write seems wrong and it's like I'm ecstatic at all the static that I can still cause In the fabric of our modern society Now Catholics are panicking cause I snapped back to my old antics and shenanigans Dammit, the Pope's mad again" Of course he's going to outshine Royce & Crooked every time they work on something. Smh. Best Shady 2.o collab yet but it's not saying much. 9.5/10 Eminem's Contribution to Shady XV Total Rating: 6.1/10 @Koolo @csw621 @Brubbels @Fried @neomerge @ImmortalTechnique @red rum @Arch Dogg @DCG @Michael Myers @Notalius @Narsh @Mikey1990 @Grimace @Jet (<=worse than) @YiT @Enigma @Zep
