    duh, but the double entendre is so obvious that when taken together with all the other blatant ones the plot becomes obvious. “A lot of shots” “tear up stage” “I’m getting loaded”. This is elementary stuff lol. The fact that you typed this all out for me to understand is hilarious

    To me? At least Premonition, I Will, Leaving Heaven, Lock It Up, Those Kinda Nights, You Gon Learn, Marsh, Godzilla, No Regrets. And some others. To be fair, a lot of songs do have issues like the f---ing fast rap bs that make them less pleasing (parts of it) like Godzilla, but I think this is way more listenable than Recovery, Revival etc.

    Also , @WPG I get u ignoring frenchy @Zeugma but hey I made this thread for you and was nice to you about an em review for once! What did u think of lock it up, no regrets and I will in general?

    For real, my bad. I meant to mention that first listen is supposed to suggest he's going to k--- himself - not a crowd. honestly I was genuinely pissed that the video gave it away. Even the lyrics dont actually say he's in Vegas. Says "FEELS like I'm loathing in las vegas..."...writings on point. He writes for audio - Video gave it away...mah mah mah

    Yeah but its also the mixing I think. Dre I guess. And while there are still parts where it isn't to me em himself sounds a little better than before (after relapse I mean) too.

    It doesnt give away anything. Eminem ended encore with him shooting up the whole crowd so my first association is that he is talking about literally or metaphorically killing the crowd, but not that hes not talking about himself at all. "I feel like I'm loathing in las vegas" does not necessarily mean hes literally in las vegas, its a play off that movie title.

    The song works on many levels and you are just pretending to have seen through it from the first verse because you simply came in too late. You wouldnt have associated it with stephen paddock, only in hindsight, and you started with that hindsight and pretend to be smart.

    But what everyone else sees that you dont see is that you are simply an unfounded hater. What a double entendre that is, Brubbles was simply a hater for all this time! But it was obvious from the first post, you gave it away with s-----y opinons.

    Back to the ignored list with you where you belong.

    Not true.
    He had huge flow issues back then in the whole Shady XV, No Favors era. Songs like "Right for me" or No Favors were instant trash. But after Revival he fixed that problem. Songs like The Ringer, Lucky you, Stepping Stone, Fall, or Good Guy are absolutely on point.

    "And Eminem’s final verse on the album comes alive when he mocks the idea of listening to “a 40-some bar Lord Jamar verse,”
    So the first line, god bless the dead and let biggie possess the pencil lead didnt set the tone for his verse? And then goes on to story telling with double and triple entredres with the wu tang scheme. But what caught your ear was a lord jamar diss lol (says it all really). Not to mention this was arguably his best flow and candence on a song in a decade.

    what the f--- are you listening to
    the verse is
    "SCREAMING WITH A s-----y FLOW FOR A FEW LINES (yeah the biggie line could have been good if the flow/delivery weren't that bad)
    then making the choppy flow we heard a thousand times (rejoice in the sound of my voice, etc sounds exactly like chris d'ella making fun of him)
    then finally bouncing a little with the jamar bit (the lyrics aren't that good, but the verse is finally pleasant to hear)
    then suddenly turning to that god AWFUL robotic delivery (born a cynic etc) with no soul till the end of the verse
