    Yeah not close to top 30 at all. DS & I are saying Rubin delivered the sound Em wanted and Em was responsible for the album sounding like a mess, so we disagree there.

    C'mon, murdered?? You got low standards my dude. I mean wtf is going on in the 2nd & 3rd verses?

    Guess it's just the way that I'm dressed, ain't it?
    Khaki's pressed, Nike shoes crispy and fresh laced, so I guess it ain't
    That aftershave or cologne that made 'em just faint
    Plus I 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, dang, b----b---
    Yes siree, 'Bob', I was thinking the same thang
    So come get on this Kid's rock, Baw with da baw, dang-dang
    Pow-pow, chica, pow, chica, wow-wow
    Got your gal blowing up a valve, valve-valve
    Ain't slowing it down, throw in the towel, towel-towel
    Dumb it down, I don't know how, huh-huh, how-how
    Least I know that I don't know
    Question is are you bozos smart enough to feel stupid
    Hope so, now hoe...

    And they say that love is powerful as cough syrup in Styrofoam
    All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo
    With the ugly Kardashian
    Lamar, oh sorry yo, we done both set the bar low
    Far as hard drugs are though, that's the past
    But I done did enough Codeine to knock future into tomorrow
    And girl, I ain't got no money to borrow
    But I am trying to find a way to get you a-loan (car note)
    Oh, Marshall Mathers
    s--- head with a potty mouth, get the bar of soap lathered
    Kangols and car-heart-less cargos
    Girl you're fixing to get your heart broke
    Don't be absurd, ma'am, you birdbrain baby
    I ain't called anybody baby since Birdman, unless you're a swallow
    Word, Rick? word man you heard, but don't get discouraged girl
    This is your jam, unless you got toe jam

    Berzerk gets a pass when it comes to corny lines. Eminem knows the song is corn on the cob. Look at the music video.

    Honestly I've talked a lot of s--- about the album but I do think there are a few redeemable things. He's still very capable of delivering good hooks & bridges (Rhyme or Reason, So Much Better). He sounds great on others (Brainless, Baby, Groundhog Day, So Far, Evil Twin), but again, the songs as a whole are kind of all over the place. Survival, Legacy, a------ is one of the worst 3 track runs in his discography. I think Beautiful Pain would've been a great single. Bad Guy was good, Rap God was good, but was a minute too long (could have just cut to the hook right after "It's not hip hop, it's pop 'Cause I found a hella way to fuse it With rock, shock rap with Doc, Throw on "Lose Yourself" and make 'em lose it). Overall just too much inconsistency, which is disappointing because he had the framework to put together a really good project.

    but even then tho...
    Survival is great for its purposes, its an anthem. many people use that track to workout and stuff etc, it does its job well, in mine, and others opinions.

    legacy is just a "oh look at my technical skill i can match syllables and vowels throughout the whole track, and its aight but couldve been excuted better

    a------, is well.. eminem just being eminem... minus a s-----y beat, well thats harsh but a subpar beat and we have eminem.....being........eminem.


    lets not forget this either please

    In June, Riley and members of his team flew to Detroit to meet with Eminem and Rosenberg while the artist was still writing and recording for his forthcoming, yet-to-be-titled, eighth solo album. “Survival,” produced by Eminem and DJ Khalil and featuring Liz Rodrigues of the New Royales, was one of a handful of songs that the delegation from Activision heard during the visit. The track’s lyrics made it clear why Rosenberg had thought of Riley and “Call of Duty” in the first place. Over four rapid-fire minutes, Eminem recounts his trials and triumphs in the music industry with a monstrous chorus from Rodrigues declaring “This is survival of the fittest / This is do or die / This is winner takes it all, so take it all.”

    But, production-wise, the version of “Survival” played in the studio that day differed from the one that premiered online Wednesday. While in Detroit, Riley and his team had shown Eminem early concept art and gameplay footage of “Ghosts,” which the artist apparently took to heart. Over the next couple of months, Eminem turned in five successive versions of the song, each one bigger and more anthemic sounding than the last. The final master of “Survival” currently streaming online and in the “Ghosts” trailer, with its heavy electric guitar blasts and stadium-ready drums, wasn’t turned in until this Tuesday, and by then was “vastly different” from the earliest version of the song, according to Riley.

    Similar to Beyoncé’s premiere of two new songs in commercials for Pepsi and H&M this spring, and Jay Z’s introduction of “Magna Carta… Holy Grail” in June via Samsung commercial, Interscope saw “Call of Duty: Ghosts” as a music delivery system with rarified marketing potential.

    It's a pretty cringeworthy album with the exception of a few bonus tracks ryhme or reason and rsome of Bad Guy. Em did not recapture that lightning in a bottle with this album
