    Lol ya'll are forgetting...Dre literally tried his best to get a good verse out of Em that fit the album and didn't sound awkward

    Em had to send him several different versions because Dre wouldn't accept the first ones...and then even the end result was Em having to have a beat section made especially to match his verse and the subject matter and flow sticking out from the album big time

    My mother reproduced like a komodo dragon
    And had me on the back of a motorcycle
    Then crashed in the side of loco-motive with rap, I'm loco

    it's not just that

    his flow is at it's peak there

    the regression in his flow since, and the constant increase in how many words and rhymes he can fit in a bar gets more and more noticeable the more recent the Em album. Relapse didn't have these issues (it has others, obviously), Recovery did, and MMLP2 is these issues are front and center

    I personally think his flow on Relapse is robotic, dont think any flow on that record is as good as say, rhyme or reason

    just my opinion

    Taste.
    As i said, i personally don't mind the mechanical grind. Eminem isn't biggie. That's not what i expect from him. Otherwise i'd be like narsh preaching the godly voice and flow of young thug (Thug is kinda the flow goat)
    OK some context
    "Who's you daddy,
    I don't have one,
    My mother reproduced like a komodo dragon......"

    That's actually a pretty good line. The motorcycle thing is a metaphor as to how unstable his life was (because of his mother) , and because of it he "crashed" into rap.

    fair enough

    i can see how it can come across like that

    personally i enjoy his flow there. it's smooth as f---ing butter to me. not a hiccup to be found, unlike Recovery and MMLP2, where it gets sooooooo f---ing bad

    r or r is a great mmlp2 flow tho

    "It's like handing a phsyco a loaded handgun
    Michealango with a paintbrush in a tantrum bout to explode all over the canvas"

    Em talking about himself learning how to rap, like some sort of voilent and destructive masterpiece.

    MMLP2 imo had some of em's best lines in his entire career.

    How you explain this

    "So b----, if you s---t me a look it better be a blank stare / Or get shanked in the pancreas, I'm angrier than / All 8 of the reindeer put together with Chief Keef / Cause I hate every f---ing thing, yeah."

    So...Santa's eight reindeer were really angry? (Or to put it in mathematical terms, Reindeer anger x 8 + Chief Keef Anger = Chief Keef Anger). So why are we talking abut reindeer? I know it's an off rhyme with "blank stare', but it still has to make sense.

    Hey Eminem is weird. When he raps about weird s--- it just has less negative impact because that's what i expect in the first place. i don't mind. More interesting than your usual rap filler tbh. 95% of rap is uninteresting content wise.

    look mate, i know what the lines mean.
    komodo dragons can reproduce sexually or asexually dependent on their environment. it's a bad metaphor because eminem has a dad and had met him.

    and again, just cause you can understand the meaing of these lines, that doesn't make them good. it's r-----ed. like don't "explain" eminem lines to me as a defense. I GET IT, it's still s--- though. cause it's f---ing autism/awkward as s--- to refer to your mothers birth as that of a komodo dragons reproductive cycle.

    and using motorbike as a metaphor for him being unstable and high speed? i mean just come on, it's f---ing gay.
    we know em is talking about himself. but to compare a junkie who can't socialize with humans, to a great artist like Michelangelo is r-----ed.

    "its like handing a psycho a loaded handgun"
    oh hahah ye i get it! its funny cause eminem is such a savage! lmao. he will totally say something mean! he's a psycopath!! so scary!!
