    I remember when this song came out. I was disappointed because it still had a slight accent. Boy how times have changed, looking back.. he flows dope AF on this song! Stoned ATM so thinking introspective here, but the more I listen to an em song, the more I like it. Prob just the interstan, and I almost brainwash myself into liking it. Starting to dig untouchable now, but I hated when I first heard it. Def interstan.

    Anyhow, people say Em can flow like he used to, which I think is complete BS. He can’t. People cite him rapping his old songs as he used to, b---- .. so what? So can I, lmfao. Bass brothers probably really deserve credit for his career and signature sound. I don’t think he can write a song or even in the right mindstate to concentrate to flow this consistent anymore, let alone songs from his eary days. Doesn’t mean I don’t like his new s---, it’s just not what made me like him originally.

    ps 50 killed that song as wel

    pss officer ricky lmao 50 god level troll

    Best friend... He flowed f---ing beast on that. Evil twin.. groundhog day etc. His style changed up. He evolved. It doesn't mean he can't flow that. It means he's not. For whatever reason. What people perceive as a lack of flow he more than makes up for in intricacy and double entendres and wordplay and syllable play. Just take it for what it is...entertainment. and entertaining he is.

    I understand evolving and what not, but let me ask you this... which do you prefer? He’s going towards slam poetry, bro.

    Btw, yes! Groundhogs day is a top 10 em track of all time .. but it was on the DELUXE! MMLP2s bonus songs .. every single one, was better than any on the album, outside of .,. Get this, Low key love game is top 10 too imo.

    People have to understand.. this is all this man does... 24/7... don't u think he could flow like that if he wanted to? I could put lyrics on a beat.. I'm sure any fan of hip hop could. He's looking past the simple s--- and actually matching syllables to drum patterns or fitting different vocabulary into schemes. It's really incredible at that level. Besides to do something for so long and STILL keep people guessing.. wow

    I personally think the actual message and words are the most important part of a song. Otherwise we could spend our live savings on a Dre beat, mumble over it and get rich. If I had a message I really wanted to get out...I'd probably do exactly what he did. Force the listener to focus on my f---ing words. Nothing else.

    No see, this is BS. Bc he isn’t doing it better than he was before. He used to rap just as wel if not better previously and it just sounded amazing bc of the delivery. If he spit wicked ways in a 98 flow it would be his greatest song ever made. His lyrics are on point it’s just how it comes across musically.

    You think he didn’t have a message in his music before? While still flowing amazingly?

    Where you not focusing on what he said during the way I am?

    Nah, I don’t think he can. He’s been trying for years to recapture a great flow, and there’s just always SOMETHING off. Whether it be tone, syllables, something just makes it less smooth. I hope he proves me wrong, but I feel like if it was possible, he would’ve found it in the last 8 or so years.

    QFT. My stance exactly. But he occasionally does well, but it’s still way different and not as good as it used to be. He’s not playing with flows, it’s usuallt awful compared to anything before lol idk what’s wrong w him.

    No doubt. Like you said, it doesn't necessarily even mean I don’t like his new stuff. It just is what it is, he flow (for the most part) isn’t as smooth as it once was. That said, a few songs every album he seems to really capture a strong consistent flow. Just wish he could do it throughout, like the Relapse and prior days.

    People like you forget Relapse and Recovery happened. Do you not understand hip hop? Flow? Anything Em related? There's only so many smooth flows you can do without repeating things. Em doesn't like doing the same s--- over again. Unfortunately, this causes dumbasses to think he can't do what he used to because they don't feed the public the same exact s--- their entire career..:comeon:

    1) recovery flow ain’t great compared to first 3 albums
    2)relapse and recovery came out SEVEN and EIGHT years ago bro. You are really gonna ignore everything between?

    And what is this repeating s---? Homie, em comes out with little to no music. Lil Wayne released 250+ songs in one year. Wayne’s trashed but eminem has very little music, lmfao.

    The "Just in case a chase might ensue" couple of bars on Untouchable sounds very Relapse-ish

    ITS Because before he was recording line by line(punch in/punch out).
    now he has gotten lazy and do the full verse in 1 shot.it takes 4min to record instead of hours.

    Exactly, parts of all I think about were similar too imo. It’s just his writing style doesn’t allow for consistent flow anymore imo
