Aug 25, 2015 it doesn't take more than a moment's thought to find the weakness in that argument. JDGAF, a classic, was basically about nothing (not to compare the two) I think Survival's 2nd takes the cake there I'd take a decent song with one subpar verse any day over a s--- song riddled with the corniest metaphors imaginable. Not Afraid was supposed to make up for Relapse and instead we got much, much worse–Until he bows out or he s----s his bowels out of him! well if we're talking sales / popularity the song's undeniable, sure, but that's another discussion
Aug 25, 2015 JDGAF is only a "classic" (reaching) for nostalgia sake. It's really not a good song either, but the rhymes are lightyears ahead of Berzerk. Guess it's just the way that I'm dressed, ain't it? Khakis pressed, Nike shoes crispy and fresh laced So I guess it ain't That aftershave or cologne that made them just faint Plus I just showed up with a coat fresher than wet paint So if love is a chess game, check mate But girl your body's banging, jump me in, g--- b--- b--- Yessiree Bob I was thinking the same thing So come get on this Kid's rock, baw-wit-da-baw dang-dang P-p-p pow-pow chicka-chicka wow-wow Catch a cab, I wanna go down b-b-bow, bow Slow it down, throw in the towel, t-t-towel tow Dumb it down, I don't know how (huh-huh) how-how At least I know that I don't know Question is are you bozos smart enough to feel stupid Hope so, now ho vs. I can see the finish line with each line that I finish I'm so close to my goals, I can almost pole vault over the goal post And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what? They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter – I can adjust Plus, I can just walk up to a mic and just bust So, floor's open if you'd like to discuss Top 5 in this mothafucka and if I don't make the cut, what? Like I give a f--- but I light this b---- up like I'm driving a truck Through the side of a pump, 0 to 60 hop in and gun it Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself With a f---ing knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt Cause I just sh---ed on the mic and I like getting cut I get excited at the sight of my blood,you're in a fight with a nut Cause I'mma fight 'til I die or win,biting the dust, it'll just make me angrier Wait, let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slut It's survival of what? Even Survival wins this one. All of Berzerk's verses were trash. The chorus is the only thing it has going for it musically, and it's still just as corny as Not Afraid (if not more so). Eminem singing about partying.. come on. It's the r-----ed version of WTP.
