Jan 13, 2018 "Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark This is how we used to make the party start We used to mix Hen' with Bacardi Dark And when it kicks in you can hardly talk And by the sixth gin you gon' probably crawl And you'll be sick then and you'll probably barf And my prediction is you gon' probably fall Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall And everything's spinnin' You're beginning to think women are swimmin' in pink linen Again in the sink Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finished You are now allowed to officially slap b------s You have the right to remain violent and start wildin' Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyein' you Get in the car and start it and start drivin' Over the island and cause a forty-two car pile up Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot Looking for life on this planet sir, no sign of it All I could see is a bunch of smoke flyin' And I'm so high that I might die if I go by it Let me out of this place, I'm outta place I'm in in outer space, I've just vanished without a trace I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow I'll be back in an hour or so" Tbh i could totally see em spitting something like this nowadays. And for some reason im just now seeing how someone in his camp may have told him mmlp2 sounded like mmlp2.
Jan 13, 2018 tbh if you read his lyrics nowadays (most of the time), they're very similar to how he used to write (Corny punchlines aside). The problem is with how he delivers them. He crams way too much into one line and the delivery makes the words have less of an impact cause he's always rushing through them.
Jan 13, 2018 Imagine modern Em conceiving Drug Ballad Even if he wrote the verse more or less the same there would be two or three s-----y punchlines and when he recorded the verse it would be full of beat stops pauses and flow changes/double timing
Jan 15, 2018 Deju vu overrated or not, imagine any artist having made 20 great songs like these above... the last 3 albums almost make you forget that. No matter how many s-----y albums he puts out more, I'll always want to listen to the next one afraid to miss out on something potentially great.
