    Even Castle wouldn't make any sense on TES btw: the point of the song is to talk about Eminem's point of view in 2007

    He's talking about the vibe of these songs...Castle wouldn't make any sense content wise on TES either... That being said, I vote SS, because the beat and execution are more 2002 style

    Stepping Stone is more TES Em than Castle so that gets my vote.

    Shame the sample ruins it a bit.

    No way is SS a old vault record, on the lyrics he says he is barely charting meaning its wrote after revival

    Castle actually does sound like a vault record

    Agree the whole concept (rewinding castle at the end of arose) is dope.

    I just dont really find it an enjoyable song unlike castle

    I never listen to one without the other. He missed the chance to combine the songs

    Combined they are prime eminem.

    Castles a bit overrated but it’s still great 8/10
    Stepping stone is amazing but about ten years too late 9/10

    Agreed. Believe, Framed, castle, arose are it.

    I cant even listen to WOW because everything he admitted to he did on the album. If it was the intro to Kamikaze it would have been better.

    The only reason I rate castle over stepping stones tbh is because the mixing on the hook of SS is worse than most of revival

    Castle mostly sounds like Recovery
    and Stepping Stone sounds more like Encore (Like Toy Soldiers for example) if we're being honest, not TES

    Yeah mixing on the hook is really bad and the hook on castle is better (the featured hook). Eminems singing, verses, beat on ss are much better imo tho

    Castle is miles ahead imo. The structure of the track and the delivery for me takes over stepping stone
