Oct 18, 2022 Like I said I love Legacy. But idc what way he incorporated that line into the song it still sticks out like a sore thumb no matter how many times you listen to it. I love the song. I love the story and how he stuck with the same rhyme scheme the whole song but I still think he could have found a way to have left it out. I definitely don’t think that song is corny. It’s the best Em song since his prime in my opinion.
Oct 18, 2022 you’re completely right. it’s the only line like this on the whole track. he could easily say what he wanted to say there without going a&w mode. but he goes a&w mode for a reason. maybe it’s a metaphor for comeback em’s self awareness. or maybe he psychologically ain’t wanna create a track he knew there’d be no possible way to complain about, so he topped it off with this line lol
Oct 19, 2022 The production, the beyond cringe hook, the lame take on the topic. I actually couldn't give a f--- about the sausage line tbh. I'd much prefer something more creative done with the childhood aspect like a brain damage and the way he's tackled it in other songs
Oct 19, 2022 i respect your opinion. but i mean, the beat is an interpolation of twia with each third note taken out. the rain fx gradually become softer until he goes total confidence a&w mode. he ain’t even write the hook, or find it on one of his beat cd’s. polina wrote the hook and sent it to iovine, and he told her he wanted em on the track. em reworked the beat, recorded his verses and added the rain. verses, by the way, which he wrote and delivered using only sixteen unique vowel sounds, allowing every single syllable on the track to connect and rhyme, often in groups of 5-8 or more. nobody wants to hear brain damage 2 about how 40 years ago em wanted to attack some bully with a broomstick. i wanna hear self awareness and complicated rhymes about fame, being an idol, your every word being scrutinized, you knowing you’re better than every rapper ever. this is what legacy is about. not polina’s hook or pontificating about deangelo bailey lol
Oct 19, 2022 That to which you refer when you call yourself "I" is exactly the same as that to which I refer when I call myself "I". It is consciousness. Content of consciousness is irrelevant. You are that which experiences and I am that which experiences. Nothing distinguishes that which experiences one from another, there are no 2 consciousnesses because consciousness is not an object you can point to in time and space. I am you.
Oct 19, 2022 Honestly don't think I can answer this without changing my mind 5mins later. But We As Americans would def be in there.
Oct 19, 2022 what em is trying to say here, is we’re all his alts and we should be nice to each other
Oct 19, 2022 The best part about me is I am you, you're me, and you're the fire marshall and this is your legacy
