    Let's not give ourselves too much credit. None of us asked, wanted or made him turn into a junkie at the heighth of his powers. That's on him and him alone.


    But yeah... not a bad song but it's got it's problems. Better than anything on MMLP2 but that's not a very high bar. Still hopeful this was just some sort of therapy for him and the album will have a couple of gems on it.

    - yes, ppl at shady are definitely relaying to him the conversations from here. there's no other explanation; the tone and direction of all the d12 world descendent boards is diff from other forums

    - the steps em has lost as a technician make jay look like jaromir jagr

    It’s like he knows everything people dislike about him but he can’t please everyone. This track seems like almost a letter to fans saying f--- guys I’m sorry I couldn’t please you all but here’s my last album. I tried.

    Too bad this song won't be played on the radio. Casual radio listener will have no interest in listening to a spoken word

    pleasantly surprised. the hook is very good. em's lyrics aren't great, but aren't terrible either--somewhere in the middle. the song has a clear message and he manages to pull off a few really good lines. those last three bars are.....awkward. would have been better if he left that out, IMO.

    those are my initial thoughts---i'll be back after i study it more lol

    Just woke up and listened for the first time. I'd give it a 6 if I'm being generous.

    I might have missed a song or verse since 2010 but where did he apologize or even allude to regretting anything from Recovery? Serious question because there are a handful of MMLP2 songs I never listened to the whole way through and probably some features I missed in between.

    He didn't. On MMLP2 he says "label pressures me to make another Recovery" or something like that.
