    anyone else love this song the way I do? He goes in, he's on topic, he's got decent punches.. kinda vintage em. Would love to hear more like this (song is kinda heavy but em sounds light years better than now). Idc recovery has aged well imo, it's a pretty d--- good album

    One of my favourites off Recovery and of modern Em. Could probably squeeze into the list of all time fave Em tracks.

    Third verse is :banderas:

    "Now there he goes in Dre's studio cuppin' his balls
    Screaming the wood off the panelling
    Cussing the paint off the walls
    Spewing his hate to these haters, showing no love for these broads
    He ain't given 'em s---, he says he'll pinch a penny so hard
    He'll leave a bruise on the bronze so dark you can see the mark
    When it scars, till Abraham Lincoln is screaming out "awww!"
    His metaphors and similes ain't similar to them, not at all
    If they don't like it, they can all get f----- instead of sucking him off
    They can go get a belt or a neck tie, to hang themselves by
    Like David Carradine they can go f--- themselves and just die
    And eat s--- while they at it
    He's f---ing had it, he's mad at the whole world
    So go to h--- and build a snowman, girl
    The bullies become bullied, if p-----s get pushed
    Then they better pull me, take me back to 9th grade to school me
    'Cause I ain't looking back, only forward, this whole spot blow it
    Who could have known he'd grow to be a poet and not know it
    And while I'm being poetic let me get historic and raise the bar
    Higher than my opinion of these women's been lowered
    So bare witness to some biblical s---
    There's a cold wind blowing
    This world ain't gonna know what hit it
    He did it, he made it, he's finally famous"

    Yeah that third verse is cold. This is the quality level of em I want..mucially sure there's some small problems but as far as rapping goes this is vintage

    Back when he could still put out good content and rhymes that actually made sense.

    that and cindarella man are two of the very few songs he has layered vocals in. that's why it sounds good. most of these s--- songs would sound good too if he continued to do that

    This is a song I really wanted to like, but never really got into.

    -pretty good beat
    -annoying hook somewhat
    -great final lines of each verse

    it's a gem off that Recovery album, only if Em would of did the hook himself it would of been alot better.

    my only complaint with the song is it seems kinda poorly mixed. The vocals are too loud, but I still like the song regardless.

    I loved it on the first listen but now its nails on a chalkboard and virtually unlistenable. Can't believe people miss this Em.

    I see the beef with it.. it's not exactly music to your ears but I moreso meant from a technical standpoint of ems rapping. Has a nice flow, good lyrics, good general concept. It was just so loud and obnoxious sounding

    I think Recovery is Em's worst album but this is definitely a gem of a song
