Rolling Stone Reviews "Fly Away"

[djgeneral]

The latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, they reviewed the leaked track from Eminem giving it high levels of praise. They gave it 3.5/4 stars. Basically saying they were shocked it didn't make an album and that the lyrics are very good, etc. Nice to see some unofficial, leaked tracks getting props in a big magazine. It was also the highlight reviewed single in the magazine with a big picture of him.

You forgot to mention that they said it would be better with a "real hooksmith" like Drake or Kid Cudi instead of Just Blaze.

Drake? It kind of pissed me off, lol.

Anyway, it said:

Eminem's Awesomely Angry Outtake

3.5 stars
"Fly Away" - Leaked

Why wasn't this fiery rant included on Eminem's last album? Unlike recent smashes "Not Afraid" and "Love The Way You Lie," this newly surfaced track (which didn't make the cut for Recovery) comes without any high concept - just Eminem spewing fantastic bile for five minutes. "I took a hiatus, haters, now I', back to cause trouble/Got the fuckin' shape of mushroom clouds for thought bubbles," he fumes over producer Just Blaze's martial drum rolls and spare piano line. This is nu-Eminem at his finest, stone-cold sober but drunk on the sound of his own words. He's got his sense of humor back, too, livening up his vicious verses with a few decent statological gags and a Brett Favre punch line. Even a flat-toned chorus sung by Blaze can't disrupt Eminem's focus. Just imagine how huge this could have been with a real hooksmith like Drake or Kid Cudi on the assist.

^^ m2
ya i jus read it this wkend & was like

[AnalKiddo]

Still love the track, one of the best leaks for sure

[gutawafang]

Yeah. It's a pretty good track. They should review everything else too.

[VenomBlackViper]

They forgot to give Koolo credit for leaking it

[Elision]

Fly Away is one of my favorite Em tracks to date. Shit's powerful

[Master Chief]

They should review Things Get Worse and Oh No as well, those were dope too (although at least 1.5 years old).

But really, this song is dope. Hopefully Em notices this and sticks with sifting the 'bad' punchlines from the cleverly humourous and witty like the soup backwards/Brett Favre line

That Brett Farve one was possibly the best punchline Em has ever spit

[electroencephalogram]

Yeah, I'm surprised it didn't make it on Recovery, it would have fit without taking anything off wouldn't it? I guess there were already enough songs were Em says basically nothing and just brags, it's still good though, plus someone on the hook

[Rash J]

Agree with the review. One of my fav leaked tracks

No I don't think he will.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

[eat_healthy]
