    pluto✰ where the opioids?

    Dec 9, 2022


    i still never skip this record when it comes on..man..special moment this one

    i generally find myself listening to the obie version with his hook that was probably never planned to be there but still fits so snug

    Never thought about each other's skin colors
    'Til one day we was walkin' up the block in the summer
    It was like 90 degrees, I was catchin' a sunburn
    Tryin' to walk under the trees just to give me some comfort
    I'm moanin', I just wanna get home and
    I look over, and your shirt is off
    I'm like, "You're gonna fry," you're like, "No, I won't
    I'm black, stupid! And black people, they got melatonin
    In their skin — we don’t burn," meanwhile my face is glowin'
    And I feel like I'm on fire
    And the entire time you're just laughin' at me
    And snappin' at me with your shirt, b------

    It’s honestly a perfect example of an artist simultaneously at their best and their worst.

    This was the lowest point of Eminem’s life, and it has produced one of the most raw, emotional, and vulnerable songs of his entire career

    There is a reason he didn’t release this and that’s because it’s trash. That verse sounds like it was written by a middle schooler.

    Who's the poster who originally said this like 7 years ago? Ever since then, people have been parroting it whenever the song gets brought up..without fail. But nice to see a few people thinking outside the box for a change (though I'm not sure if Lasik was being sarcastic or not). Meh/10 song for me. I know they were buds but it's hard for me to mentally separate this from the toxic Christian idea of universal brotherhood.

    It sounds r-----ed and unnatural. Literally nobody who’s mourning goes “cask-ow” or has trouble getting out the word “casket”

    This part always hit home:

    I never got to say I love you as much as I wanted to, but I do
    Yeah, I say it now when you can't hear me
    What the f--- good does that do me now?

    I think the cask-ow line was more likely a punch-in error that wasn’t fixed because the song was never properly mixed than it was him not being able to finish the bar emotionally lol

    your f---ing r-----ed if you think that. he was grieving after his best friends death. He spent so much time writing those verses he couldn't even write a chorus to that s--- that was "perfect enough for proof". You don't know music with that opinion.
