    This track has been talked about so many times and reviewed I personally think things need to come to light again about pt.2

    The production is fantastic and perfect for Eminem 10/10

    The lyrics in this verse are also 10/10 (I know the toilet line wasn't great but s--- happens)

    What I don't get is how he can offer such a small portion of greatness but not implement it anywhere else?

    I thought MMLP2 was pretty good. I enjoyed it more than Recovery at least.

    And to answer your question, well, he doesn't really do many songs with actual concepts these days. It probably helped motivate him a bit more than usual.

    Maybe but if he has that ability then why not use it more?

    I agree with the concepts part. I said in another thread for years now it's felt like he's tried to manufacture things that used to happen organically. It reminds me of pushing an essay out the night before it's due.

    If you're admitting there is something bad about it why are you still giving it a perfect 10/10 score? You just admitted it wasn't perfect.

    I'm no MMLP2 fan by any means, but that verse is one of the highlights of his career imo. It's a shame the first part of the song is complete s---.

    I agree. I don't think one corny line ruins a song. Legacy is one of the best songs on MMLP2 imo even though it has the dreadful "pigs flying out of my a---" line.

    But 10/10 is pefect. You admitted that it wasn't perfect so why don't you stop being a groupie and rate it accordingly like any other objective Eminem fan.

    If we're grading the song based off the rest of his catalog, it's more like 7.5-8/10. Calling it a 10/10 is basically saying it's on the level of songs like Sing For The Moment or Say Goodbye To Hollywood.

    I can only respond by repeating my previous reply

    I can overlook it because it was one line

    Idk about the closest. Deja Vu & Going Through Changes were the closest. Bad Guy would fall in the tier below those with songs like Rap God and Berzerk.
