that Fine Line and Guts Over Fear are LIGHT YEARS better than every single song from the garbage that was MMLP2.

Now that I think about it they are the first Eminem songs that have been released since 2010 that I didn't almost immediately delete from my computer.

Am I right or am I right? Discuss.

So Far could have been a pretty d--- good track, but it's one of those songs where he has several lyrics that make you cringe, and it overall hurts the appeal of the whole thing. Brainless was a solid track, but not really anything more than that -- it was nice to see him rap over a beat he made again, and I thought the hook and verses were fine/good, but there's nothing outstanding about it and it lacks replay value. Love Groundhog day -- would be in my top 10 post-hiatus, but certainly not near the top 10 for him all time.

Guts Over Fear was tricky for me to form a solid opinion on at first. I think the reason it's a very good song is that Em actually sounds like he's matching his current ability, rather than desperately trying to be something he's not. You can initially complain that it doesn't sound like him during his prime (the voice, lyrics, beat, etc.), but there's no screaming or desperate attempt to sound like he's some young punk/psychopath/killer etc. He's embracing the truth of his current situation, and it's a breath of fresh air to hear a track where nothing sounds forced and nothing makes you cringe. He sounds "good" on it, and there's meaningful depth to what he's saying.

It's definitely top 10 for him post-hiatus, but probably near the back or middle end of the list for me. Going Through Changes, Spacebound, Seduction, and especially The Warning are still superior, in my opinion. I'd probably say I enjoy Groundhog Day, Deja Vu, the last part of Bad Guy, and Beautiful more as well. 25 To Life is one I like more than I feel I should, but it's one of my more-played post-hiatus tracks (the annoying screaming flow just seems to work better here than it does on anything else, fueled by the content of the song -- and I really like Khalil's beat). And Fine Line is dope - belongs in the top 10 post-hiatus without question, but again, don't think it sniffs his all time top 10.

Emile brought GTC, GOF, Beautiful Pain, and Headlights; which are some of his best post 2009 songs. If he had an album solely produced by him, it could be really really great. Too bad that probably would never happen though

 

Jan 11, 2015

Groundhog Day, Rap God, Bad Guy, Rhyme Or Reason, So Far..., Brainless, Evil Twin, etc

Fine Line and Guts Over Fear are f---ing great. Better than 95% of anything since Relapse. There are songs that I like just as much or more from all three albums.
