Wicked Ways = Worst Song?

by **EndoveProduct** » Dec 13th, '13, 20:01

Am I alone in thinking this? The song is just not THAT good. I'd listen to survival or monster any day before listening to it again...and those two seem to always get thrown around as the "worst". I mean his verses are meh...with the beat and the chorus, it comes off like its a techno remix of an em song you can find on youtube.
Its not good.

Opinions?

Wicked Ways > Survival > The Monster

But I really don't listen to either 3 all that much. Wicked Ways the most, Survival comes second, The Monster is almost a never-bump but sometimes I'm in the mood.

No. Beautiful Pain is worse, not that either of them are bad tracks, they're just at the bottom of the list for me

They arent bad by any means...but if you look at the entire list of songs from the mmlp2 era...wicked ways is the worst

Its almost like they didnt bother to finish them 100%. Baby and groundhog day are dope though

I feel the same way. But good/bad is a tough call since music isnt good/bad.
I think youll have to judge it by its catchyness.
Wicked Ways isnt as catchy as Monster or even Survival, but its way superior lyrically.
Problem is you can get tired fast from to lyrical music. Em has always had a neck for hiding lyrical music in melodies and interesting voicetunes and what not. However on Wicked Ways it just rappidirap rap if you ask me.
Rap God is a perfect example of what I mean. Its freaking 6 minutes long of lyrical shit but still entertaining.

I noticed this too at first about the bonus tracks...though I don't think it's so much terrible mixing as it is just the neglect to properly mix and master them. I think they sound good enough, but when you play Evil Twin and then Baby comes on right after it on your player, you can immediately notice the drop in quality especially if you're an audiophile like me. It's not terrible necessarily, but it's just worse than the actual album. I have a feeling Dre/Rubin mixed the main album and Eminem did the mixing on the bonus CD. I think the bonus songs were his idea and not theirs.

actually it's in my top 5

wicked ways is fire, you and anyone who thinks otherwise must have never heard it on a respectable audio system or pair of headphones

by **Shpongle** » Dec 13th, '13, 20:16

Hell no, Wicked Ways is awesome...Monster is the worst by far...

by **Cinderella Stan** » Dec 13th, '13, 20:58

Wicked Ways is great, there are at least 5-6 songs that I like less.

Wicked Ways beat and hook is perfect for Yelawolf and not Eminem imo
