"Stronger Than I Was" Appreciation Thread

[Amaranthine]

Kim divored him the first time, he divorced her the second time (after getting all gooey on her and convincing her to marry him on the anniversary of their first date).

This shit hits home, makes me feel terrible about how a long term relationship I had ended last year.
Crazy thing is, she's a huge Em fan too & I'm sure she's bumping it too.

Still don't feel like this is a serious track...it is more of mocking rappers that only sing and act like they are spitting some incredible lyrical shit. That is why he keeps saying "UHHH" like he is going hard.

This is possible. However, I'd like to think he didn't go through that much work just for that. Kind of a reach to think an entire song is a secret inside joke.

It makes more sense that way, I don't know why he would include all those UHHHHs, cause I keep laughing at those and it ruins the whole serious message.

Only listened to the album through three times in full and so far this is my favorite song on the album, anytime I'm not listening through I always come to this song I really love it I wish he had more songs singing I love his voice.

[SaneShadyFan]

I cringed the entire time.
This type of song worked for "Hailie's Song", but it felt awkward and out of place on this album.

Oh well, just one of the songs I will skip over on the album.

I suppose, but he does sing on almost all the hooks on the album that aren't someone else doing the hook.

regardless, I still think the first two verses are from kims perceptive and I'm not sure about the third verse. Also, he mentions Nov 31st which doesn't exist. So we could all be wrong and this could just be a fictional song.

[yoda you can call me]

I nearly skipped this first listen coz of the change in pace, i was hyped and i wanted to listen to straight bars . But i love it now though

[UofLCard]

The song is kickass.

[shreyshady]

Long time lurker but made an account cuz I couldn't not talk about this album. Glad to see you guys enjoying it just as much.

I can't explain why I like this song so much, something about him singing just is so real I love it, definitely the song I've listened to the most so far.

[iHeart]

This song hits nerves.

[Edwin88]

does somebody knows about who em is rapping?
Is it out of perspective from kim?

i have no fucking clue

"And I thank you, cause you made me, a better person than i was

But I hate you, cause you trained me. I gave you all, you gave me none.

But if you blame me, your crazy, and after all is said and done"

Those lines are up there with the best his voice has ever sounded on any track singing.

His voice has sounded really good on this album. I've been telling you all the entire time I've posted here that the whole voice decline is dumb. He can still do what he needs to do.

[Edwin88]

I'm still amazed by his singing.. How he goes from terrible ear-hurting singing on YNO to this masterpiece.

Yeah its amazing!

Maybe already my favorite
