    The song sort of gets off on a slow start, but holy h---, that 2nd verse is amazing. In popular terms, the verse is fire, Eminem went in, he spazzed out, he killed it.

    And yes, this deserves its own thread. Already mentioned it in Eminem Chat, but it deserves more.

    Only problem with the second verse is the punchline followed by that d--- awful beat drop. In fact, it happened twice, nearly.

    In hindsight, first verse is better than the 2nd!

    This song deserves more attention. There was a point I was listening to it at least once a day.

    I love the way he ends the second verse - 'and it's off to H E double hockey sticks I go..'

    Great song, love it.

    The only thing that realllllllyyyyy annoys me about this song is the chorus.

    Like, I think the lyrics of the chorus are dope, they fit Em's verses, and it's a great idea for a song but there is absolutely no need for that guy to be doing the chorus for him. I dno if it's like a contractual thing with the beat that states they had to be on the hook if he used it or something like that, but there is literally no other reason why Em shouldn't have done the chorus himself. Maybe it's easier and cheaper to agree to having them on the hook than it is to negotiate having full ownership of the beat and hook lyrics.

    The way it's laid out on the songs credentials makes it seem is as if it's an actual thought out collab:

    Eminem featuring. X Ambassadors

    When in reality, it's just a very very simple hook. Could of been avoided.

    But, overall, I do love this song, Em's fire on it.

    The hook is so low energy compared to the verses. The song grinds to a halt every time

    Weird. It works well with the song, especially after the 2nd verse. First verse is low energy.

    Song is alright. Definitely rather have any other song that didn't make the album replace this though. I play this song the least off that album.
