    I've been listenin' to Shady XV and realized that most of the songs are ruined by Em's super fast s-----y flow. Hard to listen to and annoying sometimes but "Guts Over Fear" on the other hand, is pretty good. His verses are great, content is fine. Beat is better than most of the Shady XV and his delivery is his best on the album too. Kinda sounds like the Eminem I wanna hear more often. Very underrated song.

    Another "poor me" track. Sounds borderline emo tbh. Everything on this track has been done before with a better flow and beat.

    Yeah, but that's what the rap's like tho... At least he raps something real. Fine Line was also great btw.

    I feel he should drop the," look at me, I'm eminem and I still hate my life" shtick and start talking about his highs already. Songs like this are borderline unlistenable since tracks like Murder Murder, Rock Bottom, If I had exist. But s---, that's just my opinion :idk:

    This & Fine Line were definitely the highlights from Shady XV.

    Decent song. Poor mixing. Sia was ok.

    5.5/10

    His lyrics scheme and inside rhymes are GOAT here. When I listen it with deep emotions its a 10/10 song. Sia was awesome and Eminem has done a great job. wouldn't consider it as Eminem's top 25, but still better than most 2009-2015 "rappers" songs.

    If he started talking about his highs then you would just complain about him bragging

    nope, not really. If he actually started talking about his wealth and the legacy he's about to leave behind, I'll take that over s-----y emo eminem any day.
