Listened a couple more times. Yeah, this is worse than I originally thought. The "ice, ice baby" line is the only really funny line.

That "ballisitics" punchline is horrible. Why is there so much emphasis on those bad lines? The beat even stops for them.

Hook is nice.

Hmmmm, this was pretty ok.

The beat is VERY nice, I'm loving the thumping kick.

The hook is awesome, sounds like Royce or that Sly dude.

Royce's verses were pretty good, better than Em's although Em did have some pretty nice lines (the Nicki Minaj line stood out). Em's delivery has improved so much compared to shit like Roman's Revenge.

Overall, I'd give this a 7/10.

Based on the second single from Recovery, expect a new single end May / begin June.


Remember with Recovery though, they had to release the second single early because everybody was downloading LTWYL and it went to #1 on iTunes as soon as the album was released. If that didn't happen, they'd probably have waited another month or so before releasing another single.

Yeah that line had me cringing.

I thought his verses were ok. Nothing great but some cool lines with some bad ones. Track has more replay value then the other recent tracks. Maybe I went in with very low expectations lol?

Hah in 10 pages this thread de-railed horribly, I don't get what certain people don't understand about arguing for the sake of arguing.

Most of the people who argue constantly about how bad Eminem is now use the cop-out of "I'm just doing it to annoy the Stans" and then state that they have a life and a pretty good one at that. I don't mean to burst your bubble but if you have to come to a forum dedicated to a particular artist to "piss off" fans of said artist your life isn't that fucking amazing.

Class you make good music, but that doesn't mean your opinion is fact and that you can dictate what is good and what is not, if people like something then they like it, you can't fucking change that. I personally don't like Lil Wayne that much but I know some people do, I don't instantly dismiss them as being idiots I just try to find common ground in music taste and discuss that instead.

The whole "OMG Stans love everything Eminem puts out" thing is pathetic as well, if someone genuinely likes something and listens to it then that's their prerogative, there's nothing you can do to change it and there's no point trying to force your opinion on other people, I'd love to think you were trying to spark discussion on why anything in this song or any other song is bad but you rarely ever back anything up and just say "it's bad because it's bad and if you don't know why you obviously don't know enough about rap".

Either way I've spent more time writing this than I actually care for so I'll just close it with this:

If a new song is released and you like it, talk about it, mention things you like and dislike.

If a new song is release and you don't like it, talk about it and mention things you like and dislike.

Avoid just outright saying it's horrible and anyone who disagrees is an idiot because I can guarantee you that statement is entirely false. Actual discussion about why a song is bad is good, I think the closest you got in this thread is that the "in other words" is a bad setup for a punch line, I agree wholeheartedly but the rest of your nonsensical arguing to piss people off is petty, pointless and completely disputes your argument that you have a life because you spent far too much time arguing about a song you dislike on the internet with someone you will never see.

Oh and don't bother replying to this because I won't.

Predicted response: umad

Actually, I agree with you. There's a few posters who seem to dislike everything new, no matter what it's like. Which is fair enough, but seems to me to be a waste of time telling everyone it. Puts a downer on those of us who enjoy it. But anyway, ppl can do whatever they want. :coffee:

PUMPED about this EP.

Oh, and I laughed my ass off when he said the Nicki Minaj line :laughing: . Obviously not the best part of the song, but it's funny to me because I remember that interview she did where she was starstruck to work with Em. That being said, they'll probably bump uglies soon. :coffee:

Maybe stupid question, but: is it leaked, or officially released?

The song is great, that´s something I expected :y:

It's kind of weird, if this had been announced last year I would have been peeing myself with excitement. But with the Em & Royce leaks I have barely any anticipation, which is annoying as shit.

I can't see the EP being anything more than what we've heard so far, in terms of interesting, entertaining & witty content. I just see 9 tracks all similiar to what we've heard already.

Bad Meets Evil was so great 12 years ago, cus there battle rapping style was executed perfectly then and they had amazing chemistry. They lack that now, imo

My only fear is that it won't have any real concepts and just will be a lot of random shock value content. Well, Relapse had some nice concepts, even Encore, so I'm hopeful.

Based on some of the leaks and the fact Havoc is on the album (he is famous for his dark beats), I think this will have the same overall feeling as Relapse which I wouldn't mind at all. Hearing Eminem on some more traditional beats is going to be amazing.

Fast Lane would have been the perfect track for a guy like Yelawolf because of his fast flow and ability to write really chill rap.

If they drop 9 songs and have 0 concepts or stories, that's pathetic. I doubt that will happen.

And I feel like there won't be (m)any features, this is a Bad Meets Evil EP, not a Shady family EP. The should drop a Re-Up 2.0 though.
