I think this song is better than 90% better than relapse and is a great example of how to use the 'accent'. I think it would have done about the same as 3am
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it. Spent a million a track and went over my budget. Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt? I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.
Almost every song on Relapse is so much better than this song. The first two verses are throwaway verses, pretty 'meh' indeed. Only really the third verse which is good, the chorus is good and the beat is so nothing, to me. Though everyone seems to love it.
But songs like "Bagpipes from Baghdad" and "Medicine Ball", whole levels above it. The beats are 100 times better, the chorus' are better, and the flows / lyricism are superb. Where as on "Oh No" the first two verses sound pretty flow-less / lost in the beat.
it's a good song, could have replaced CAB, We Made You or Medicine Ball on Relapse, but I don't think it would've been well received as a single ... Relapse shouldn't have really been catering to the mainstream anyway though, it's for the real fans
