    Calm Down was the kind of Slim I wanted on MMLP2 (no hate to MMLP2 tho)
    Best Friend is dope but it JUST dropped

    well I can hardly listen to Calm Down because of the beat that gets so annoying and repetitive, so Best Friend.

    in terms of lyrics and content, Best Friend too. In my opinion ofc

    I liked some of the rhymes in Calm Down, but the whole thing was just underwhelming. Scoop n Busta's fault for hyping it so much

    Overall I'd say Calm Down is better and more consistent but I'd be more likely to listen to something like Best Friend cause Yelas parts are>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    the lyrics on calm down are much better but that beat was pitiful. best friend isn't as bad as some are portraying it, the beginning started off s-----y but about halfway through the song i didnt mind the rest

    I enjoy Best Friend as a song way more overall. Em f---ing killed it. It was sort of unnecessary how hard he went, but I can't take points off for a rapper being a rapper. Calm Down felt very underwhelming now that I went back to it.

    I'm actually loving Best Friend after my third listen. I can get used to the choppy flow at the beginning. Love the lyrics.

    I agree with both of these paragraphs. The beat on Calm Down is obnoxious

    If we're talking strictly about Eminem's part, Calm Down is sooo much better.
