On 2.0 Boys...

Postby xxTrigger1989xx » Mar 15th, '11, 23:57

...Em sounds very hungry to me. I find myself really enjoying this verse. His voice sounds aggressive, but not aggressive to the point of shouting. I mean, say what you will about the lyrics (which aren't bad IMO after actually having read the lyrics along with the music), but he sounds very hungry and focused on this verse. I think it will only get better, this seems to be a step in the right direction after several songs not being taken so well.

I like his verse, not too keen on the song overall tho. I like the first few lines of the verse, it starts it off well. Ive never had a problem with whatever voice he decides to use on a track, accent/shouting/aggressive..they all work.

His voice was decent enough but the rhyming wasn't good and the content was meh and you have a lame ass pun "lowered the bar like limbo" and the flow was choppy. Verse sucked.

Some of the lines were questionable, yeah, but flat out sucked? Nope. Compared to his old stuff, yeah, but for 2011 hip hop, I think it was pretty good.

I saw in some of your other posts that you think this verse is a step in the right direction, I'm curious, how is it a step in the right direction? I just don't see it.

Well, for one, he starts off the verse pretty well lyrically (his flow was choppy, though, but improves as the verse goes on). I am probably one of the few who doesn't mind all the punchlines that much (that makes me sound like a Stan, but I honestly don't mind them as much as everyone else). Yeah, I want him to rap about different things, but this verse seems different from all his other ones to me. In this verse, he seems to have a point. It's not just a bunch of punchlines about food or anything like that. His punches are considerably less corny on this song for me. It doesn't sound so random and forced. He sounds confident and hungry, and I like the lyrics for the most part. But, I guess that's just really down to personal tastes and preference.

Compared to other punchline songs he's been doing recently in his collaborations, I do consider this a step in the right direction. I think he killed it, in a good way. I think they all had great verses, though Ortiz's was the worst for me. But, if it means anything, I don't think Eminem had the best verse, I think he had the second best verse. So it's not like I'm gonna like this verse no matter what. If he spits a bad verse to me, I'll admit it's bad. But I enjoy it, and I don't have to force myself to enjoy it so that's a plus.

I like his verse, and I honestly don't mind the punchlines like everyone else does either. :whistle:

It's not like it's his best or anything, but it's pretty good. It's a good way to introduce Shady 2.0, IMO.

I love his verse, but then again I'm a Stan so it doesn't matter :sweating:
