How would you rate Guts Over Fear? (POLL)

by **Raul** » Aug 27th, '14, 13:03

I would ask for the OP of the GOF track to make a poll but it's easier that way. Mods, feel free to lock this/move to chit chat.

Taking in consideration the delivery, flow, beat, subject matter, lyrics and etc... How would you rate the track and why?

10/10 better than some stuff from 2002 :worship:

Not bad.

Really tiresome Recovery-era format; I wish he would stop using this now, as this song could have easily been for Recovery as could The Monster. I would assume it was made during that time period too if not for the improved lyricism and flow, which is disheartening to hear Em still clinging on to that formula for hits, but he always does that until he runs it into the ground.

Em's rapping is good, chorus is aiyt; content is really... scraping the bottom of the barrel - making a song about how you're out of song content, there's flashes of substance but he nailed it with the 'no more emotion to draw from'... stop trying to then - come up with concepts, tell stories.

Also SUPER corny to name the songs of songs in his songs in such a serious way ''I would rather make Not Afraid 2''... it just feels tacky.

It's a shame though because his skills are really at an all-time high and not just skills as in pure rhyming but every aspect - he's unpredictable, exciting and inventive on the mic right now. He was in 09 and 010 too; more-so with Relapse of course but both of those albums had a very set rap style, which once you got used to... you got used to; MMLP2 era - he feels LIVE on the mic which he hasn't since MMLP1, because the main aspect of MMLP1 other than the concept was the fact every line and verse was unpredictable - he would go from serious to silly to a little reference to a voice to a political jibe etc. one minute to the next, it just felt very entertaining and ALIVE. And that's 100% what RoR and Rap God feel like and all of the songs really, he sounds inventive again.

Problem is he just can't stick to a direction now. He's a master of all the kinds of songs he makes now but making every kind of song at once doesn't make for a lasting impression as you can't put your finger on a feeling or theme to the era... it's just like he's releasing new songs every day for a new greatest hits albu... oh wait, SHADY XV!

This pretty much sums it up for me.

Far from terrible, but pretty 'meh'...

9/10, btw

by **TheBoss123** » Aug 27th, '14, 14:26

Id put it around 7-7.5

It is good, and i disagree about the content, but I still dont feel its a near perfect song. its pretty good, I like it quite a bit but its not amazing I dont think.

9/10

After the "newness" has worn off I would rate it a bit lower I think.
