    If this thread is deemed unnecessary, delete it, idgaf

    Anywho,

    I rate it a 7/10 which is pretty high for Em's standards. Dre's verse was eh though.

    pros:
    aggression
    solid beat
    good flow for the most part
    no cringe worthy lines

    cons:
    slight screaming
    vocals not layered for a smoother sound
    i just hate the way em pronounces certain words/syllables

    favorite bars/lyrics:

    So I rose and grew balls, told these hoes to screw off
    Decided opposing you is what I'm ‘posed to do alls
    I did was say what I'm feeling when the vocal booth calls
    And had you on pins and needles when I spoke to you all
    You felt my pain, it's almost like I poked voodoo dolls
    And I hope my spirit haunts the studios when I'm gone
    My picture jumps off a poster and just floats through the halls
    And f---ing goes through the walls like the ghost of Lou Rawls


    SEE PEOPLE, THIS IS CALLED RHYTHM. THE BARS ARE NEARLY PARALLEL TOO

    also, the way he says:

    And here's, to all the years I spent toeing a line to overtime

    reminds me of old em 100%

    @Koolo can you include a poll

    I don't see any flaws in this track other than the thing that Em and Dre don't have the chemistry in the same way they did in older songs like Forgot About Dre and Guilty Conscience, and even more recent songs like Old Time's Sake. Em really felt like nothing more than a feature rapper and not a close friend of the main rapper here. That's my only problem though.

    There wasn't really anything about ems verse that i thought was cringy, i think it's one of his best in a long time, but i didnt think it was dres best verse and there are better beats on the album

    First time in a long time where i can say em was probably my favourite part of the track 8/10

    Would have been a 10/10 without eminem. Sucks to say that, but it's true. I agree that 7/10 is about right. Rest of the album is 10/10 for me though. Pretty flawless from beginning to end.

    A solid 9.

    Dre's verse sounded like a cross between T.I and Kendrick's flow.

    I love the song but understand the flaws that em still has. For all the people who don't like his verse, how does it compare to southpaw and ShadyXV.? I think its better than evey song since ShadyXV besides KND.

    I think it's better than anything we've got since MMLP2 by far, and I wouldn't really say there are any songs on MMLP2 that are much better or better in general

    Yeah I'm not a huge fan of KND/his soft s---. I like his aggression style that he mainly had from like 2001-2004. so that's why i prefer this type of song.

    You want lyrical warfare huh, let me sharpen my samurai pen.


    What the f--- do you want, a kiss?
    Then quit talking s--- and get off my d-ck
    You like men? you enjoy locking lips
    With little boys licking c--- and pick
    little army men out their toybox to stick
    Them up your a--- while you drop and hit
    little tom with your rocketship
    Until the poor kid cant walk or sit
    Apocalypse you sick f---ing obnoxious twit

    Your disgusting dude

    GrizzyP wants a piece of Drizzy's D
    But lacks the delivery and the recipe,
    he's too busy to even see
    the misery, it's hurtin me
    when i realize that this guy lies
    after 5 tries, reminds of tom brady's high fives
    bringin up little tom, you're second fiddle from now on
    not even in the middle, yawn, you're acquittal's gone
    you're equivalent to a Popsicle melted on the lawn
    obnoxious twit, your sub consciences lit
    my rhymes would make your aux cord split
    f--- this this s---, i'm done
    what's that? the bell just rung
