    I liked The Storm, and I'm wondering what people mean by this common critique of the freestyle. I thought it was impressive technically and also covered some interesting topics...

    It's like we take a step forwards, then backwards
    But this is his form of distraction
    Plus, he gets an enormous reaction
    When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that in
    –stead of talkin' Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
    All these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather
    Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers
    Then says he wants to lower our taxes
    Then who's gonna pay for his extravagant trips
    Back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?
    Same s--- that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered
    Then does it more
    From his endorsement of Bannon
    Support for the Klansmen
    Tiki torches in hand for the soldier that's black and
    Comes home from Iraq and
    Is still told to go back to Africa
    Fork and a dagger in this racist 94-year-old grandpa
    Who keeps ignorin' our past historical, deplorable factors
    Now if you're a black athlete you're a spoiled little brat for
    Tryna use your platform or your stature
    To try to give those a voice who don't have one
    He says, "You're spittin' in the face of vets who fought for us, you b------s!"
    Unless you're a POW who's tortured and battered
    'Cause to him you're zeros
    'Cause he don't like his war heroes captured

    They don't know what they're talking about and aren't are very bright when it comes to noticing impressive rhymes. Rhyming like that and having it all fit the theme isn't easy to do at all. This is why Em is such a GOAT.

    The only issue I had with it was people praising lines like

    He aint got the nuts like a empty asylum

    If you think thats a good line you're obviously not a big Eminem fan

    That's what I'm saying he's great at wordplay but he dumbed it down, which I think was a stupid idea, and the people who praise it don't seem to realize that.

    I know it's got bad before but I believe this is an all time low

    Eminem's music isn't supposed to be fun to listen to now

    Bruh if it was supposed to be a fun freestyle he'd have said some s--- about trans-lesbians and boy band with a random female celebrity diss.

    The freestyle was just a straight up political statement. Just listen to the ending. He wasn't even rapping at that point.
