Wrong. Flow was well paced and delivery was a billion times better than any of the r-----ed s--- he does 99% of the time nowadays. Are you deaf? Using a normal voice for once, actually PERFECTLY emulating his original Stan impersonation, flipping, his previous lines, etc are all bad delivery to you? gtfo

Does that on purpose tho, and he does that on almost EVERY track he's on now. Except that this time it's actually being used to progress a story

what's wrong with it?

wrong, pretty immersive beat tbh.

Nah it's a pretty complex attempt at turning his wayward career into a metaphor while, like you said, going on a nostalgia, trip. There's actually A LOT going on in the lyrics, content wise, for once.

I don't if it's going over your head or if you just have horrible taste

:cry:

don't need to, i haven't read the thread yet but I'm sure everyone else will.

Pretty terrible opinion. Like, 100% false in every aspect, I'd re evaltue ya life

Terrible flow and delivery, has to rearrange sentences to keep the rhyme in storytelling, terrible chorus, mediocre beat, cheap gimmick story to go with the whole nostalgia trip.

4/10 track








fight me

I agree with the indian. Great song awful thread and points. Like you're factually wrong ain't even a matter of "opinion"

Literally no one said it was better than Stan

I don't get it. It's the most "MMLP-ish" song we got on this album. It wasn't a good 'song', but it was dope storytelling with pretty nice reveal in the third verse. In my opinion it was the only right way to continue "Stan". Plus that f---ing 4th verse is one of Eminem's best work he's ever done.

Yeah, although it was an odd justification he didn't @ Dido on hook, being that 'it would have been obvious', like he hasn't hidden who's on many hooks already.

Not a big deal though;

Biggest flaw for me was the writing style - the third person writing style. Some people comment on how it doesn't feel as engaging as 'Stan', that's because the lyrics are not the dialogue, which is what made 'Stan' groundbreaking, the fact the lyrics were the dialogue and he acted out the words...

Wheras here it's like any other rap storytelling track.

And you can feel it, when it is in the 'car scene' when Matthew is 'talking', all of a sudden it feels alive "New plan, Stan - Slim, "chauvinist pig, drove in this big Lincoln town car" - this whole segment feels Stan-worthy again. Purely because it's from 1st person perspective. That is the magic which brings it alive...

I'm amazed he didn't get that.

But, great beat, hook and the outro - all those things combined kind of justify the track as a whole. Just, could have been better.

This topic was obviously created to get a reaction out of posters.

The beat is very soothing. Probably my favorite song off mmlp2 production wise.

na man
he got matthew's delivery just right
and the fact that it's even a sequel to stan isn't revealed until the by one of your fans line that he was able to do that is amazing by itself
he said he "was considering her (dido) for bad guy but thought it might give it away" and so sarah jaffe is on the cd
really great track even if people say the album isn't his most cohesive project
