    It's a shame Em forgot the "music" part in rap music. His approach now is talking over a beat with uneven pauses. Neglecting the flow and musicality that make songs engaging. Which kills the replay value. Doesn't help that the content of this song is played out and sounds like it could've been on Revival.

    Temporary as a song (regardless of the 10/10 music video), is way over hated.

    It’s poetry and MFers are just mad they can’t bump their head to it. FOH

    Temporary has one of the best choruses on the entire album. Fools saying it’s not musical enough. Lmfao

    Cuz he can still outsell 99% of the game and the fans want more.

    Not every album has to be a masterpiece, but I do agree this would be a great one to end on

    Fits in better with revival or a retirement album. I know he has more in the vault but I’m hearing this might be it. You can’t really follow that up unless you do something completely fresh and new with just as much fire.

    f--- that lame justification. It's music, he always made music engaging on any topic. He has the talent, so he shoulda remade it until so. And it's also just poorly written, very uninteresting. The chorus and vibe are beautiful but wasted.

    Funniest thing is Benzino really tried to start a rap war with Eminem right before Death of Slim Shady. Lmfao
    History repeats itself again, another biggest albums of the year and another peak for Eminem’s success career, just like The Eminem Show era. How does that man take L’s for 22 years straight :emoji_laughing:

    Wouldn't have hit the same - and when people look back years later it helps to explain the death of slim shady. Whether he drops another album or not I think this was his way of putting her over his career - by having her be the final single on this album.

    Honestly though @Marsh this Drake song goes hard in the whip, one of the better ones out of his new ones.

    I liked Temp first spin... wasn't my favorite. Tobey and head hancho are the only songs I don't like and perhaps hh could grow on me. And even me not liking Tobey there's parts of the song that get stuck in my head

    So was Hailes Song and Mockingbird. Both are great songs with brilliant writing and emotion. Temporary is not any of that. Just because it’s meaningful and sentimental, it’s still music and still has to be judged like that.

    That’s because you’re missing the message here. Those other songs had a different purpose than this one. Not sayin I agree with it just telling it how it is.

    Then why would he put it on an album? Lol. And not just play it/give it to her. It's for his fans and album, and so everyone can go nawww Eminem is a good dad. Masquerading exploitation as sweetness. Lol.
