Official 'Guess What the Tracks Are About' Thread

[VictorVerzion5]

1. Bad Guy

I can see this just being a crazy ass opener with Royce as a feature, since it is in fact titled "BAD Guy".

2. Parking Lot

He rapes a girl in a parking lot lol idfk

3. Rhyme or Reason

Basically just being a lyrical track, I would love something like Underground but I doubt it will happen.

4. So Much Better

I can see this as a serious song where he is mad at a certain individual or situation from the past, and he explains how it so much better now.

5. Survival

I can see it being a song with a crappy hook and annoying beat

6. Legacy

Either explaining his legacy, or the legacy of the rap game and where it is at now (maybe a diss since he wants to "go back to hip hop" with Kendrick).

7. Asshole

I can see this as being maybe a diss song to other artists he doesn't like, which would make him an asshole. Idk though with that Skylar Grey hook lol.

8. Berzerk

Already out.

9. Rap God

Lyrical track, that is all I expect.

10. Brainless

A funny track about how he believes he has no responsibilities of his actions and he does all this fucked up shit lol.

11. Stronger Than I Was

Him discussing how he is back on top ever since he made Recovery.

12. The Monster

I can see this as one of the scariest tracks on the album tbh lol, I think Rihanna can pull off terrifying vocals and Em can just go ham and scream the loudest he can rap, but it has to be a great topic to do it about, maybe something similar to Amityville or Kim.

13. So Far...

Explaining how you have to sell out in the industry nowadays to go so far.

14. Love Game

As said in Berzerk, "If love is a chess game", I think that will be a part of the hook. I can picture this song just explaining losing something they love way too soon. Hopefully something different though.

15. Headlights

The "Stan" of the album. I can see this being one of Em's most serious topics, maybe about a little girl getting kidnapped and the last thing she saw was the "headlights". Hopefully it isn't like Lighters though, cause they are two very similar song titles.

16. Evil Twin

I think it will end with one of those outros he had on the SSLP, MMLP, and Relapse. At the beginning of the track, he explains how people think he's a sellout and he doesn't have the freedom to get anyone on his tracks without getting shitted on. He then says if you motherfuckers think I'm a sellout, I'll prove I'm not, and the track starts and basically this track is him being the Slim Shady we all know and love.

[space_bone]

I'm calling it now... "Headlights" will be amazing.

yah that one stood out for me too, along with "evil twins."

1. Bad Guy - What D12 thinks he is for abandoning & replacing them
2. Parking Lot (skit)- Still reminiscing about where he caught Kim kissing that guy
3. Rhyme or Reason - He has no reason to rhyme anymore
4. So Much Better- He was so much better back then
5. Survival - Paul told him to write a song for some video game that he would be promoting
6. Legacy - Something he's ruining
7. Asshole ft. Skylar Grey - What he licks when Jimmy Iovine, Paul or Dre pulls down their pants
8. Berzerk - He just needed a reason to scream-rap over guitars
9. Rap God - Reminiscing about what he used to be
10. Brainless - What he is for putting Rihanna, Skylar and most likely ADK on this album
11. Stronger Than I Was - His self-assessment after lifting weights for a couple of days
12. The Monster ft. Rihanna - A song about Paul
13. So Far... - From what he used to be
14. Love Game ft. Kendrick Lamar - He'd love to spit game like Kendrick
15. Headlights ft. Nate Ruess - What he looks like when giving interviews, a deer caught in....

[xNero]

1. Bad Guy - Something along the lines of Criminal. He's the enemy or whatever.

2. Parking Lot (Skit) - something like 8 Mile, freestyling, leading into the next track

3. Rhyme Or Reason - spittin' rhymes, hip-hop shop kinda song.

4. So Much Better - dunno, maybe how he likes it so much better when people doubt him, so he can just prove them wrong

5. Survival - given

6. Legacy - probably a given. talking about his legacy and stuff. or, who knows, something different. how he's continuing the legacy of other rappers?

7. Asshole Ft. Skylar Grey - I don't know, but I like what Koolo's 'source' said about the song — talking about how he's a shitty person to be around. that'd be interesting, I really like that idea.

8. Berzerk - given

9. Rap God - how he's a rap god, lol. Or how he should be considered one, but a lot of people don't, and he'll tell them why they should

10. Brainless - no idea, tbh. maybe he's calling out some people as brainless? lmfao idk.

11. Stronger Than I Was - the title is really interesting. this sounds like it could be either one of the best songs on the album, or one of the weakest, imo. let's hope it's the former.

12. The Monster Ft. Rihanna - some kind of concept song

13. So Far… - not sure, maybe talking about what he's done (/what's happened) in his life so far, or how he's come so far. but I think it'll be less predictable than that. the title sounds distant, desolate. an introspective track.

14. Love Game Ft. Kendrick Lamar - their love for the rap game. Or how rap has turned into a "love game" and they want to make shit competitive again.

15. Headlights Ft. Nate Ruess - like a lot of people think, sort of the 'Stan' of the album.

16. Evil Twin - Slim Shady, obv.


LMAO @ babyjane's tracklist. Fucking gold.

[Squiggles123]

Wow, I woke up to this! Kind of had a feeling too! Here's a breakdown of my expectations.

1. Bad Guy - Sounds like it could be pretty good but hopefully not about how he's a bad guy to woman or anything like that.
2. Parking Lot (Skit) - I'm glad there's a skit though wish there were some more old school ones as well.
3. Rhyme or Reason - I have no idea wtf this is going to sound like. I can't even speculate.
4. So Much Better - A comparison to his older days? With Survival being the present and Legacy being the future is this a song about the past?
5. Survival - Well fuck. Was hoping for it not to be on here but hey it might fit (which might be somewhat concerning)
6. Legacy - Sounds like this will be a good song imo. Talking about what he'll be leaving behind. (hopefully this doesn't mean this is his last album)
7. Asshole (ft Skylar Grey) - I hope this isn't another cheery sounding song like CLMR. I think Skylar really needs to do a darker song with Em.
8. Berzerk - Well I'm happy it's not towards the top of the tracklist but wondering what that means for Asshole and Rap God
9. Rap God - Behind the Kendrick collab this is the song I'm most anticipating. It following Berzerk makes me think that after the sarcastic nature of that song that he might go hard on this to show how good he is.
10. Brainless - I'm guessing this definitely won't be a serious song. Another hard one to guess here.
11. Stronger Than I Was - I have no idea what to expect from this either tbh. Stronger then he was around MMLP times I guess.
12. The Monster (ft Rihanna) - I find it odd hoe much he clearly likes working with Rihanna, maybe because of LTWYL's success? Though the title seems quite promising.
13. So Far... - This track interests me a lot. So Far.... in his career? I don't know, but I'm quite curious about this one. (Dina Rae? lol yeah right)
14. Love Game (ft Kendrick Lamar) - Fuck yes. Surely Em would have to go hard with Kendrick on this track. Hope it's not a slow song is all.
15. Headlights (ft Nate Ruess) - Interesting collab here. I've only heard "We Are Young" I think. SO not sure what we're in for but I'm intrigued and thinking it should be pretty good.
16. Evil Twin - My first thought is that Royce should be on this song? "I look at my evil twin he gives me an evil grin" or could this song be about Slim Shady? I find it interesting that it's the last track. Along with Legacy I'm hoping this doesn't mean it's his last album.

Here's my half assed break down, I just want to see how wrong I am. Also where the fuck is 50 (actually don't care he's not, just expected), Dre, Yelawolf and the rest of the skits? Now I wonder what the bonus song for COD is.....guessing Yela and SH will get a bonus song. I want a new Yela/Em solo song, maybe on Love Story? We can hope.

[Hopsinshadie]

1. Bad Guy- A somewhat sequel to Criminal
2. Parking Lot- no idea
3. Rhyme or Reason- similar to On Fire
4. So Much Better- Might have something to do with Proof, or a testament to recovering. Or it could be about how he's kind of a big deal
5. Survival- well what did you honestly expect?
6. Legacy- I think he's going to talk about what he wants to still accomplish before he leaves
7. Asshole ft. Skylar Grey- Skyler is gonna try to act hard and it will be an epic fail. Bcycle Part 2
8. Berzerk- All night Long....
9. Rap God- going to have an old school rock beat, back to his roots
10. Brainless- Going to be goofy, like Purple Pills. Or it could be about dumb hoe's.
11. Stronger Than I Was- this one will be rock-ish, might be good
12. The Monster ft. Rihanna- Love The Way You Lie PART 2
13. So Far... - How he got so far, lots of story telling
14. Love Game ft. Kendrick Lamar- This will be about love, and for the radio
15. Headlights ft. Nate Ruess- Lighters Part 2, but more old school rockish
16. Evil Twin- I think this will obviously be like My Darling

[cryonseris]

12. The Monster ft. Rihanna- Love The Way You Lie PART 2

You do realize there's already a Part 2?

[Jimmy Conway]

No

[monobloss]

Love Game Ft. Kendrick Lamar <---- This is gonna be about how rap game is now love game, and they are gonna diss everyone.

[Jimmy Conway]

Love Game Ft. Kendrick Lamar <---- This is gonna be about how Em broke up with Dre for the younger black guy from Compton.

[RSoares]

1. Bad Guy- How he's always been the bad guy

2. Parking Lot - idk

3. Rhyme or Reason - I don't know, but a kind of introspective song.

4. So Much Better- How his life changed through last 13 years and he's so much better. It might a comparison with his life by the time of MMLP

5. Survival- given

6. Legacy- Rapping about what he gave to the rap game and what he has still have to give

7. Asshole ft. Skylar Grey- Track about he's being an asshole with everyone around him (Koolo's idea)

8. Berzerk- Given

9. Rap God- Idk. But I just hope he's not rapping claiming that he's the rap god.

10. Brainless- Funny track.

11. Stronger Than I Was- When I saw this title, I thought immediately on GTC. I'm expecting smth like that. It'd fucking dope.

12. The Monster ft. Rihanna - Idk, but I'm open minded

13. So Far... - Story telling

14. Love Game ft. Kendrick Lamar- How he and K-Dot love the rap game, possibly dissing a bunch of rappers

15. Headlights ft. Nate Ruess- No idea, at all.

16. Evil Twin- About his evil side, Slim Shady.

[LMShady]

Damn, my thoughts for each track have been covered here really... I'm sure some of these guesses will be more or less correct! Hopefully there's some surprises though.

[bingo bongo]

01. Bad Guy
About how he was when the first MMLP came out. Controversies, critics, etc....

02. Parking Lot (Skit)
Waiting for someone at the parking lot of a supermarket.

03. Rhyme or Reason
A song about how he came up, rap battling and shit.

04. So Much Better
Drugs. Definitely drugs.

05. Survival
Given.

06. Legacy
I have high hopes on this one and think he will be mentioning some names, describing the rap game.

07. Asshole ft. Skylar Grey
A jokey song directed to the fans.

08. Berzerk
Given

09. Rap God
No, the title is misleading. It will be about nothing. Nothing. Just like underground, but with a lot of punchlines.

10. Brainless
He doesn't like the fame.

11. Stronger Than I Was
Maybe GTC type of track

12. The Monsters (ft. Rihanna)
Horrorcore.

13. So Far...
First verse reminiscing the past, and then taliking about who he is now.

14. Love Game (ft. Kendrick Lamar)
Spitting bars straight.

15. Headlights (ft. Nate Reuss)
Talking about the fame.

16. Evil Twin
I'm anticipating this song a lot. Probably slim shady will emerge on this one.

[DetroitSkills]

i wish rap god was full of shady disses towards all rappers, control response maybe
