    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Dec 23, 2020
    I feel this deserved its own thread because this track stands-out in a different way.

    Especially the 'still totally inappropriate' and trumpet/horn/whatever vibe...

    A lot have commented on it but seriously; as a long-term Em fan, I can't remember something he's done which sounds like... pleasant and artsy. He has been an amazing artist, but his whole vibe has been 'aggression' and abrasiveness... that flow vs. that backdrop is beautiful.

    Also "Higher", coming right after, noticed there's some horns in that too - nice placement right after, as connects the tracks and adds some fluidity to the flow of the album.

    I agree. That part after beat switch, when beat went from melodic af to trumpet one... Chills.

    WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? That mellow beat with Em's slick flow transistioning into that little jazzy beat, still spazzing is the best thing Eminem has ever done musically. It's art and it's beautiful. It's classic. When I heard it for the first time I had a vision of Picasso's mind in my own mind, ain't that crazy? This is the greatest piece of music ever made by human being. AI can't top this, aliens won't top this. Nobody.

    I get that Em's rappity rap flows have ruined great songs in the past but I think on this track it complements the beat perfectly. His flow after the second beat switch is godly and easily the best thing he's done sonically in a while now. But I guess, to each his own.

    I wish he didn't go so fast at the end. Song wasn't bad until he started spazzing out.
