    This is Eminem in Super Saiyan form lyrically. Theres too many punchlines to count, the menacing flow, his vintage wittiness, the godly hook, the wordplay, rhyme schemes, and the amazing Sid Roams beat makes for a song that doesn't get enough credit in the scope of Eminems best post hiatus album yea I said it.

    He's competing against himself at this point of his career and this song goes toe to toe with some of his prime material.


    MMLP2 is top 4 and that includes TES and SSLP and MMLP2 has a prequel so what tf do you think that 4th spots for?

    Nah and there was also this other picture taken in Amsterdam around the time that potentially could have been the cover too

    I don't want something hard from Eminem, he isn't a hard guy. He's a damaged human being beaten down by the world. Songs like Brain Damage, Rock Bottom or even As The Worlds perfectly capture how vulnerable he is.
    A lot of this is up to taste and I can't fault you for having different opinions than me but I also don't care about shock value a whole lot and I think squeaky clean production is bad for Eminem. SSLP sounding rough around the edges and the feeling that he just did not give a f--- throughout the record was what made it so great. My favourite Eminem song is Drug Ballad because it is a rare moment that showcases Eminem being truely moving and interestingly reflective over an amazing contrasting beat. So despite SSLP not holding a candle to his future albums production I still absolutely think it is a diamond in the rough and absolutely the greatest portrayal of Slim Shady X Marshal Mathers, it isn't corny, he is no super villain he is just a damaged man that has some twisted fantasies that helps him escape his own s-----y deluded existence.

    It's pretty cool. The lyrics are good, flow & song are just OK to me though, one of my least listened to MMLP2 tracks. I feel like a lot of people love it because they just love that kind of Em flow, to me it's a boring flow. He's restraining himself and lacking rhythm. "Baby" and "Wicked Ways" and "Groundhog Day" are all far more amazing to me.

    Probably my favorite track off MMLP2. Love the Sid Roams beat, and pretty much everything about it.
