    We all have the same problem with expecting too much from the modern day Eminem but comparing this to his recent efforts would you say this was better than expected?

    In terms of using that same flow it was a let down but in terms of lyrical content it was good for modern day Em

    I love how most of these people that are let down say that they will never listen to another eminem song or have low expectations for future music are the same ones who say how great the next song will be

    It was ok. Nothing great, nothing bad. Expected less but wanted more from it.

    Well i dont know for sure, but judging off the sound i would definitely say khalil, it has a real 'wont back down' vibe to the beat and eminem beats, though underwhelming, are usually less cluttered and more minimalistic....

    I'll be honest. I like his choppyflows so the last albums that em has put out dont bother me. i really loved them but I can understand people who dont like them. everyone is entitled to their opinions. now.. when I heard the first snippet that was on the trailer with em just saying I am Phenomenal I started to wonder a brilliant song. the second snippet with those two verses or whatever didnt make me change my mind. With that snippet of 15 secs with Eminem rapping just kinda shut down my expectations. Now I heard the song a couple a times and I really like it. I'm grateful to have another song to add to my list and to me it also ended up being brilliant in another way. But with Eminem being a professional in producing and stuff I was kinda uncertain regarding the sound of this track. something bothers me. the cleanliness of the sound is doubtful. Even though most of you didnt like shadyxv you have to admit that the quality of sound is much better. and thats odd. I know that i heard one beat phenomenal-like that one guy in this forum posted . I loved that beat and even that guy's mastering skills were better on his beat than eminem was on his song. I dont know who's the guy that made that beat but if you are seeing this. Great job man. I loved it

    and I thank this forum for keeping people updated with the last news. some of you fams do a great job finding stuff. Thank you all. Y'all make this forum be great

    I like it a little more after every listen, but I still hate Liz Rodriguez on there.
