    i was referencing baltimore's post but okay. also marshall said he tried to make the song i think the quote was 'super technical' honestly sometimes i think some of you just like to see your own words on a screen even if literally nobody agrees with them. and then when the few people who bother to say something do so, you'll have convinced yourselves that they're wrong because the majority must agree with you. it's pretty astonishing actually

    Yeah but no one is saying anything about eminem's technically ability in Legacy. His technical ability in it IS good from what I recall, but I don't find the song compelling in the slightest beyond that.

    honestly i'm fine with you feeling that way but the ability displayed that you mention makes the song top 10 to me even if the story and the production and the voice aren't all also top 10 to everyone. and i'm still waiting for that bottom 10 list with one of legacy's verses comically thrown in

    The third verse. I think the rest of the song is fantastic but that third verse contains some of the most crine-worthy lines he's ever said. The fact that he's taking himself completely seriously on the song makes it so that much worse. Could have been an incredible song but I don't know what the f--- he was thinking with that last verse.

    i could have changed the world if it wasn't for this verse

    he's parodying cringe worthy lines like the bm jokes on encore's gag tracks
    p sure you understand satire bud
    em has been on top of his metaphor and entendre game since 2011

    What is the problem of Legacy? The italian sausage line? the chorus?
    Technical and lyrically that song is amazing.

    The song is great technically. It is not amazing lyrically. The chorus is beyond lazy. Production is subpar. Song could've been more focused. It's not bad tho, it's good. I like it

    It like top 75 Eminem songs, maybe, lol. It belongs no where near a top 10 list

    some people like the lyrics and the technics. it samples the first beat eminem produced himself. the song is meant to have a vintage sound. undoubtedly the rain will not be appreciated by everyone. chorus is supposed to imply modesty. there are definitely worse songs on some of these lists. my list is just that, mine

    Eminem has bunch of songs that use technically stunning rapping better than legacy lol.

    It's rediculous to think that the rapping in legacy is something so special that it places the song amongst Em's top ten.

    Absolutely rediculous

    Meh, I understand you, but the production and the chorus is fine for my.
    The same with the third verse.

    Equally i did not put even in my top 20 Eminem song.

    It's my favorite song of MMLP 2 for personal and subjective reasons.

    Understandable. I think tracks like bad guy, rhyme or reason, brainless, and if we're countin bonuses, groundhogs and don't front, are all easily as good if not better.

    Groundhogs day, don't front bad guy >>>>>> since like déjà vu

    rhyme or reason is painfully, painfully underrated

    I told you that Legacy is my favorite song for personal reasons.

    I know that other songs are objectively better in some aspects - songs that you mention in your message-.

    The second verse of Brainless or the fourth of Groundhog's day are better than all of the verse in Legacy.

    like I said before I was responding to someone by suggesting he was parodying the bm jokes on certain encore tracks
