    Eminems contribution to ShadyXV was decent imo. Titletrack and RFM seems to be the only songs sh---ed on.

    Really love this song but wish the transitions from the verses to the hook were better

    This sounds like modern Eminem mixed with TES, especially that vibe, this beat. Nice, really nice song. 10/10 for me.

    Just relistened, yeah it's fine, not a fan of the beat tbh. Gwen short hook is nice

    I like the singing during 2nd and 3rd verse though. Decent song but not one I revisit like I do Fine Line or GOF

    Yeah, beat was trash tbh, but I like his rhyming there, this rap-singing part was fuego

    Fine Line > GOF > Kings Never Die

    Agree , altough the 2nd verse of GOF is really cool. Then again, the FL outro >>

    Yeah, FL last verse was pretty massive, especially when you consider how s-----y Eminem was at the time, he was struggling so hard with making a decent song.

    True. And still, I think Fall & Stepping Stone sound way better than both of them

    Of for sure, Stepping Stone sounds like vintage Eminem, but better

    Very good song. Arguably was his best song since his return before Kami/Side A and B

    Fine Line is 10/10
    One of his best since 8 Mile.
