    Whether or not you like the freestyle, Eminem definitely succeeded at trying to stir up controversy before information about his new album drops. This is the most controversial he's been since TES.

    Eminem even said himself he cant sing on halies song but it was great for the sentiment anyway. Also some hooks (like deja vu) his singing is great.

    But then u have stronger than I was.... :vom:

    this s--- straight looks like a 15 year old slaved over writing this in their notebook for 2 hours

    shoehorning multisyllabic rhymes :vom:it sounds so basic and cringeworthy

    Seemed like with lines like that he was trying to give the freestyle some kind of comedic edge when it really didn't need one.

    U think Em didnt do that on purpose ? His words were chosen specifically. I gave u some info about the point u made , but maybe u didnt want to understand the line.

    The storm is the most talked about rap in hip hop since Kendrick’s control verse...

    then why not make a tweet instead of a s--- sounding acapella freestyle?

    like deadset you guys will do so much fucken gymnastics with eminem's reasoning for making songs. has eminem said s--- about this freestyle? absolutely nothing and all you deluded fa----s circle jerk each other off like
    "it wasn't meant to be fun"
    "it wasn't meant to be a rap"
    "it was meant to be a song, just spoken words"

    Eminem could s--- 6 d----s on stage live and you guys would be like
    "well, it wasn't meant to be gay, he was just doing it for fun and a joke. trying to get the message across that he's not gay"

    It's more like a speech not a song or suppose to have good lyrical content.

    Eminem is a man who would say s--- to their face or to the world, not hide behind a keyboard & do it.

    Trust me I know lyricism better than most especially in this sxn and dog he did not write those with gun control laws in mind, which is evident to how there is no reference to it stop trying to act like the line was good- it wasnt

    I got what he meant in a way. It was meant to be a message on the state of American politics, rather than something sonically pleasing.

    i actually think this cypher reminds me of old eminem where he actually has emotion that something is bothering him and he’s using less words and says it very well it’s kind of hard to explain but old eminem had way less words then what we see from him in the recent years.. and he got his point across much better i think it’s because he doesn’t have anything to really say feeling strong towards in so long since trump.. his old s--- he rapped about things that was strong feelings for
