    He has a few good points definitely. But he just mentions one dumb line to talk bout his overal lyrics in the song.

    Still a great f---ing song the lyrics to this are actually really good and I can't find anything to even slightly complain about. Totally surprised me not what I expected at all.

    8/10 for me. Much much better than phenomenal. The flows were on point for the most part, subject matter, while slightly generic, was good and the songs execution was excellent imo. Gwen did great although I wish she was a little more involved and g.d. that Em Bridge >>

    I'm definitely feeling the song, but I also agree it's overproduced. The lyrics are good, but the production and delivery don't lend themselves well to the song. Imagine if this was slowed down, and Em has a more serious tone. This song could have been dark and pretty great, but instead it has this rock influence I hate. It's a good song, and the hook isn't bad, but it could have been much better.

    Gotta say I hate the singing on this one

    I'm usually a big fan of his singing but on this track it sounded weird af, too overproduced and way too fast

    Anyway track is a solid 7.5. Some of his annoying habits are still noticeable, but this is the best thing we've heard from him in a while

    It's a decent song. Not amazing, but a welcome change.

    For those of you throwing around "garbage", "junk", etc. lightly, watch the first 30 seconds of this:

    He seems to have some actual passion in this one, you can actually hear it, especially when he starts singing. This is a pretty great song, granted I'll have to give it a few days, but as of now this is the most pleased I've been with a new Eminem song in ages. The flow was on point, for the most part, a few choppy bits, but I can look over that.
    Right when the song started, I knew it was going to be pretty awesome. The way he just rapidly spits "I can hear the drummer drummin, and the trumpet someone's trying to summon something. I know somethings coming, but I'm running from it." If he did a whole song with that flawless flow and put that much effort into the whole thing, it would be a top 10 Eminem song of all time IMO.
    Totally love it when he uses these semi-rock beats too, they fit well with his style.

    It's good to see Em getting a lot of praise again, especially after some of the recent work he's put out.

    okay so "Nobody handed me s--- in life, not even a flyer" bugged him?

    this is the kind of guy who'd rather him fast rap and be as f---ing technical as possible. f--- him.

    Although this guy was really harsh, sadly he was kinda right for the average veiwer, I'm becoming one of those stans that are turning against him, it sucks
