Eminem 'No Favors' verse is indefensible

    K finally got around to listening to the Sean album and I thought people were exaggerating before I heard it but my god this actually might be his worst verse of all time.

    1. I doubt this verse was even recorded over this instrumental. It has nothing to do with the subject of the song and sounds awkward over what's an otherwise great beat.

    2. Big Sean is the biggest p---- ever for putting this on his album. Imagine asking another rapper to be on a song with you and he sends you a this random acapella that wasn't recorded over the same instrumental.

    3. It sounds like a freestyle not only because it's about nothing, but because it sounds like it was his first time rapping this and didn't know how to fit the words together to flow on beat. Kanye mumble verse reference tracks flow better and sound more on beat than this.

    4. Neuters his own anti-Trump "message" by talking about raping/beating women multiple times in the same verse.

    5. He literally lists off random objects to fill up bars, not once, but twice:
    And f--- Ann Coulter with a Klan poster
    With a lamp post, door handle, shutter
    A d--- bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber
    Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter
    A banjo and manhole cover

    Said I put her face in the furnace, beat her with a space heater
    A piece of furniture, egg beater, thermos

    I wasn't expecting this to be any good, but even beyond the lyrics themselves I don't understand how anyone can defend this as a piece of music. It's unlistenable.

    I assure you, if any other rapper did that verse, they would be laughed out of the industry. But since it's Eminem, I guess he gets a pass from the industry despite being completely unlistenable.

    Like he has songs about nothing that I don't personally like but understand why they would be appealing to other people, but this irredeemable...lyrically, musically, everythingally.

    I don't think Em does anything other than rap and is no longer really present mentally and people just record his insanity and throw it on a beat

    Kind of reminds me of the s--- shady cypher now tbh the way he would rap fast then stop and yell and about the women line.

    There was plenty of that on there

    I'm speaking lyric wise. Being random bursts of insanity is unpredictable. That's better to than running out of ideas and rehashing yourself like gucci mane does.

    When something is just bad you can move on, but with this, I felt like OP, I could write sixteen paragraphs about how awful it was. Tone, inflection, lyrics, everything - at the absolute bottom rung in terms of quality. I'm starting to believe Em knows this and doesn't like Sean or some s---. He could have reached into the vault and gotten something that was still bad but not worst guest verse of his career bad.

    Thank you @BigCountry perfectly on point. It was just a s-----y freestyle recorded over the beat. Could have made some good statement but chose to make it "shocking" and a total mess

    Because he isn't actually rapping about anything it's just a clusterfuck of bars.

    Are you an idiot?

    Why did you conflate being anti trump with being pro woman?

    You summed it up perfectly, I was embarrassed just listening to the verse. Big Sean could have really made a statement by rejecting this, instead he acts like it's fire so it'll put Em's name on his record and get him more sales.

    Let's see if @Jesse1414 , basically the only person who likes this verse can offer some good counter-arguments to bigcountry's post.

    I don't think it's exactly a huge leap of faith to say that it's kinda hypocritical to talk about sexually assaulting women in the same verse he criticizes our president who has been accused of and bragged about sexually assaulting women.
