    flow is more important than lyrics because it's what presents the lyrics

    So by that statement you agree Underground is one of the worst songs on Relapse?

    I think it's one of the best because he doesn't use an accent.

    more so the delivery

    but the content sucks because he is talking about shoving gerbals up his a---. quite the extreme example you're using to prove your point

    But Right For Me is terrible in every aspect. Songs like Guts Over Fear, Going Through Changes and Deja Vu are far superior to Underground.

    GTC and Deja Vu, I agree with. GOF is s--- IMO. Parts of the second verse are good but the chorus ruins it for me

    But it's hard to compare serious songs to songs where he's in shady mode.

    it's like comparing say goodbye to hollywood to criminal. completely different songs

    Yeah I wasn't using playful songs as examples cause with the exception of All I Think About, his only good post hiatus ones are on Relapse

    Edit; Also I completely agree on the GoF chorus but the rest of the song is great

    I don't even care about content. I'm just saying, I wish he flowed like that all the time. With rhythm, on the beat. It sounds so much better than how he "flows" now

    Amazing beat, perfect voice, great flow, sick chorus..

    Terrrrible lyrics.

    Em really f----- up on Relapse man. It's been said and done to death but he really did. Not only was the production one of his best ever, but his voice on the album was so much better than it is now. His voice (minus the ridiculous accent) works well here. Look at The Warning, voice and delivery = ON POINT. Imagine a serious, self reflecting, Recovery themed LP with Relapse's production. It would have blown Recovery and MMLP2 out the water. Now he just so corny, awkward and robotic. Even on good songs like Fine Line.
