    It was terrible. Everyday u were hoping for an album but never got one. Nothing excited happened and life was boring.

    People hated because of the accent l. But to me the accent was one of the most genius things I’ve seen in music.

    This dude created his own accent to make words rhyme that didn’t f---ing rhyme. Who the f--- sits there and thinks of doing s--- like that lol.

    That means it's just a regular day (hah!)
    And this is the kind of s--- I think of regularly(the way he stretched the word regularly)
    Have Michael Myers lookin' like a liar, swipe his powers
    Replace his knife with flowers and a stack of fliers
    Hit Jason Vorhees with a 40; stuck a suppository
    Up his a---, and made him tell me a story
    Gave Hannibal Lector a f---in' nectarine
    And sat him in the f---in' fruit and vegetable section
    And gave him a lecture
    Walked up Elm Street with a f---in' Wiffle bat drew
    Fought Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands too
    And came out with a little scratch, ooh
    Lookin' like I got in a f---in' pillow fight with a Triple F.A.T. goose (those were the most basic words to rhyme with those guys and a horrible excuse for punchlines about them....and then the prosthetic arm crushing his hard taco

    Old time sake had alot of bad word choice and pronunciation stretches as well

    3am pushing em into the stinking tub
    My point is it's really basic writing or stretching the pronunciation awkwardly and I dont mean the accent I mean like really f---ing reaching and making some of them sound weird. And him saying taking a pee, the stinking tub. And hannibal lecter. Giving him a nectarine and a lecture?? Lol it's very basic and elementary writing. Esp when you look at his metaphors for hannibal since then. Hit a f-- with onions and splitting a bag of funyuns....lot of line wasting and bad writing in the album

    Spot on take. Em needs to link back up with the Bass Brothers. Their influence was all over this record. They were instrumental in harnessing his ability to rhyme a bunch of words and turning that talent into impactful and memorable music. I’d be really interested to hear what they could create today but I doubt it’ll ever happen.

    Yeah, this might be Em’s peak as a rapper. Most of the rappers in D12 aren’t good but they have enough chemistry that it works here.

    Twerk that pop that, renegade (some anti-Catholic bs), we ain’t (monotone), what’s the difference (nasally voice), and Patiently Waiting (makes fun of 9/11).

    I wouldnt say the verse I'm about to mention is 10/10 but his verse on "there they go" with obie and big herc was a breath of fresh air compared to freak show with 50, and s--- like that.

    No way. 11-13 was the worst. He literally didn't put out a single verse that wasn't awful.

    I’d group the whole gap between MMLP2 up the revival as an era. I literally stopped listening to his features during that time because it was so s-----y. I saw him live at a festival 2 months before Kamikaze dropped, which pisses me off because I know he had the songs done to perform if he wanted to

    Always amazes me how this late in his career, Em is STILL coming up with wordplay for his own name

    “My bars are like bullets when I spit them schemes, that’s why I call the MFers M-16’s (Em-16’s)” — this may be my fav of all time

    “The s---'s embarrassing (em bare-assing lmao) as me rear-ending Tara Reid bare”

    “As long as I’m Shady, you’re gonna have to live in my shadow” -
    also this bar is better than anything MGK could ever come up with

    And even for Dre

    “Dre said rock the boat and the doc (dock) is my peer (pier)”
