The epilogue had me thinking it might be top 10 material...but then I remembered the awkward flow in the first half and immediately said no.

Tragic portrait of an artist tortured
Trapped in his own drawings

But in my head there’s a voice in the back and it hollas
After the track is demolished
I am your lack of a conscience

I’m your time that’s almost up that you haven’t acknowledged
Grab for some water but I’m that pill that’s too jagged to swallow

Definitely nowhere near a top 10 Em track.

That last bit / Em's conscience is genius, and the bit where Matthew is yelling at Em/the voice acting feels authentic and natural, just like on "Stan"...

But it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity before then as Em actually does what pedestrian writers usually do in kind of rapping... descriptively about the story. And referencing events in description, as apposed to LIVE character thoughts and action. I know Matthew is apparently doing shit but like, it doesn't 'feel' alive due to just a rap flow referencing shit.

That part where he's like "HERE COMES MY FAVOURITE LYRIC" just shows the potential this track had to be absolute brilliance. But because of the style prior to that... it's just good.

It's not a Top 10 all time Eminem song. It's Top 5 on the album though.

Em has sooooo many classic cuts from 1999-2002 that it'll be as hard for him to crack that Top 10 with a song now days as it would be to create a true album that will be called a classic.

MMLP2 is dope, very good, but no classic.

Only the first half of the second verse stops it from from a 10/10 song. It's a 9.5 for me, near perfect 10.

But I don't know if Em can crack Top 10 Greatest Eminem songs now days. He has so many classic cuts.
