    I understand prefering Em on this song, but there's no way Jay's second verse is boring:

    I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
    Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
    Gotta vent, lot of innocent lives lost on the project bench
    Whatchu hollering, gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
    By the bodega, iron under my coat, feeling braver
    Durag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope
    Do not step to me, I'm awkward, I box lefty
    An orphan my pops left me, and often, my momma wasn't home
    Could not stress to me I wasn't grown, especially on nights
    I brought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings
    My demeanor, thirty years my senior
    My childhood didn't mean much, only raising green up
    Raising my fingers to critics
    Raising my head to the sky B.I.G. I did it, multi before I die
    No lie, just know I chose my own fate
    I drove by the fork in the road and went straight

    That f---ing rhyme pattern combined with the subject matter is just ridiculous

    Nobody was messing with him back then

    You're in front of 2 of the biggest rappers of all time and you can't help but stand awkwardly while clapping your hands

    "Cause see, they call me a menace and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
    But if it don't, then ya'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
    Now who's the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics?
    Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics?
    Using his music to steer it sharing his views and his merits
    But there's a huge interference, they're saying, "You shouldn't hear it."
    Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
    Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
    But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America
    as a motherfucking drug addict like you didn't experiment?
    Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
    and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed
    And I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parents
    You f---ing do-gooders - too bad you couldn't DO-GOOD at marriage!
    And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't
    think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
    Cause here we go, he's {Jigga durra Jigga da chk Jigga}
    And I'm the sinister, Mr. Kiss-My-a--- it's just the.."

    this verse sums up Eminem entire career tbh

    I think we can all agree this is a 10/10 song with both jay and em at their best. Wish they worked together more than just this song and Syllables

    the way Em said this line and how he rode the beat is why Em in his prime was something special

    See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
    Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here
    To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
    as a monger of hate, Satan and scatter-brained atheist
    But that ain't the case, see, it's a matter of taste
    We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is
    Or is he the ladder, a gateway to escape?
    Media scapegoat, they can be mad at today
    See, it's as easy as cake, simple as whistling Dixie
    while I'm waving the pistol at sixty Christians against me
    Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics
    in holy water no wonder they try to hold me under longer
    I'm a motherfucking spiteful, delightful eyeful
    The new Ice Cube, MFers hate to like you
    What did I do? (huh) I'm just a kid from the gutter
    making his butter off these bloodsuckers, cause I'm a motherfucking

    Still can't decide which verse I like better though
