    This is hard because you could draw out of a hat and not necessarily have a bad choice. But its a tie for me between The Ringer and White America. They both go so f---ing hard.

    Did vote for Ringer tho.

    The first 2 verses are ok, seems like just another serial killer song. The twist in the 3rd verse is great and like u said 4th verse >>>>

    Also like I said I think k--- you, white america and ringer are all better songs, just the idea of stan 2 (and not being bad) makes it the best opener for me

    Really depends what way you look at parts of his career.

    It will always be k--- You for me but...

    After Relapse to hear him rap the way he did on Cold Wind Blows was f---ing great.

    And then after Revival, to hear The Ringer on Kami was f---ing incredible.

    But yeah, i just love k--- You.
