    @Swizz @WPG Kanye could never come up with double entendres like Em. Darkness is 10/10.

    Eminem has been making love songs like these since at least 2003, but no one says Love You More s----d. What specifically is wrong with, say, In Too Deep?

    That’s like complaining Iverson would never play the game like Shaq in the paint. There’s multiple ways to succeed in writing music. Who would want double entendre galore from Kanye lmao.

    So when eminem says "f--- pitchfork with a corkscrew" he's actually saying "f--- @WPG with a corkscrew" ?

    I don't like your writing WPG. You come off as too smug. No actual substance in your review, M.A better on Unaccomodating? You gave Bad Guy a 10/10 but eminem's writing suffers in Darkness? Some crazy bias going on here, and it has nothing to do with music.

    Kanye’s double entendre game is better than Eminem’s for miles tho
    “We ain’t going nowhere we got suits and cases” is a better double/triple entendre than any of Eminem’s. Love them both, but don’t discredit ye’s writing

    this is very true

    and trust me, you ain't the first person he's heard that from

    couldn't agree more. rappers have different styles and in most cases they aren't easy to compare IMO. both of them are good for different reasons

    Oh definitely not. That's what really kills this record for me is the baffling choices and giving into his worst instincts—taking a potential hit single with a super catchy juice wrld hook and deciding to go full Rap God in the last verse, those made-up love songs, making another sequel to c-m on everybody that gets worse every album (ie white trash party, those kinda nights), ed sheeran in general. The Step Dad hook borders on self-parody lol.

    At least there were no Call of Duty MTN Dew anthems this time around?

    That's why you gotta read the review not just look at the score. The reviews are written by different people. The writer generally does not have final say in the score as far as I know.

    I can’t believe Stepdad exists lol. Just baffling decisions made in that song, across the board
