Oct 25, 2020 Your first paragraph nailed it. The build up along with the beat is incredible. "Snatch the mic from him, b---- I'mma let you finish in a minute, Yeah that rap was tight, but I'm 'bout to spit the greatest verse of all time......." From that part foward it gets me fired up everytime. I always felt like Recovery should have been his comeback album. This song would have been a great comeback single. Not that Relapse is a bad album, this just feels more like a comeback.
Oct 25, 2020 The delivery isn't the same. I don't think he sounds as good on those song. Just listen to how he starts off his verse on Best Friend and how he starts off on No Love. The transition on No Love is seemless. The flow is 10 times better imo. I personally never liked Medicine Man. Best Friend is a great song but it took me a while to get used to Em's part. When Em starts his verse it just sounded off putting to me like a lot of the versus he's done in recent years. To each their own I guess.
Oct 26, 2020 It was prehate though. Now it's all haters this, haters that. I was also a more mature Em, with some humour.
Oct 26, 2020 I want another song between these two. No goofy s---, no singing, just both going in and a good hook. Something a bit more serious than their previous collabs.
Oct 27, 2020 It's pretty good but his best? Not sure I agree. Forever and Airplanes 2... Also I Will and You Gon Learn have to be up there.
Oct 27, 2020 the song is better than his last 3 albums combined. Classic need more Eminem x Wayne Wayne killed this track. Eminem's verse great too
Oct 27, 2020 Apart from the questionable monopoly board line (which isn't THAT bad), the hunger, flow and energy from Em on this track was so f---ing refreshing after Relapse. Medicine Man is sooo overrated
Oct 27, 2020 Never understood whats wrong with the monopoly line. Monopoly is when you own everything or majority of the market, eminem is on top of his game and monopoly board is because he's owning everything, like google is a monopoly, a giant in his field. Really good line. People just go "hurrr he said monopoly, i played monopoly last night with my mom therefore anything related to it is stupid"
Oct 27, 2020 Never had a problem with that line tbh. If I had to pick one it would be "You can still get roasted 'cause Marsh is not mellow" But it's not that bad either. I'm not someone who lets one line ruin a song. Em has had plenty of terrible lines over the years. I wouldn't consider these to be one of them.
Oct 27, 2020 I think it's just the way he set it up, back in 2010 I felt his punchlines were delivered awkwardly or just straight up bad. He is way better at it now imo
