Bad Guy 4th verse

[UofLCard]

Dare I say, I believe it may his best verse he's ever done after Renegade's first verse.

not possible.

Don't you know, if it wasn't in his prime, it isn't allowed to be placed among his "best".

imo Some verses in SFTM, Soldier, COMC, No Apologies, Deja Vu, Brainless, Legacy>>>

I never loved Bad Guy THAT much, really. It's amazing and beautiful and epic-sounding, but there are many better verses. The first 3 Personally, I definetely can not say it's better than every verse on TES.

gtfo of here with almost every verse on the album being better.

The 4th verse gets all the praise it does over the first three because it's better, plain and simple. Not to say the first three are bad, but the 4th is just on another level.

The way he basically uses the aftermath of Matthew's/Stan's story to address himself as if he is his own faults and insecurities. Seriously don't know how people can look at/hear some of the lines in this verse and not get chills, I do every time.

He addresses so much shit here it's insane: his hypocrisy regarding bullies and women, his fear of being irrelevant, the feigning power of his voice as he continues to strain it, the fear of not living up to expectations despite all the shit he's already done, the true meaning behind the story of Stan and Matthew, his getting older.

And the fact that he kept the rhyme scheme throughout without sounding forced or anything is just crazy considering the amount of critical analysis in the verse.

If someone wanted to understand the essence of who Eminem as an artist is through his music, this would probably be the final track I showed them.

Perfect post

Epic verse.
