Would be nice if he talked about Spacebound or Seduction, rather than explaining the obvious tracks.

But then we wouldn't get the epic Spacebound arguments with idiots about how it's about Kim or some random slut and not drugs.

But the chick's so old
She looks like she out-lived a life sentence


I think it's pretty offensive, you know how sensitive girls are when it comes to age. It's not directed at anyone in particular but still...

Medicine Ball pretty much sums up Relapse for me. Came out after so long of not hearing from him that we all couldn't help but listen to it, and since it was actually coherent we didn't find particular fault with it. But when you look back, he aint saying shit in songs like this. Dedicates the whole last verse to Chris Reeves, and flicks back and forth between the horrorcore shit in the first verse and the second verse with the "you're so sensitive" callback garbage and randomly names a couple celebrities. C'mon Em, nobody is offended, lol. The first verse is actually pretty good, the wire-hanger line is genius, but overall it's just very unfocused shit and you can tell he was grasping at straws for a middle-track.

Also the idea of the hook and everything is just bullshit too. He aint got the whole world in his palm, especially not when he's been hiding in his house for the last 4 years before he released it. And, as was rightly said, nobody really "hates" him anymore. Medicine Ball is probably the weakest track and the one i have listened to least out of all of Relapse lol.
