"SONG" Asshole is under rated ..

A lot people hate is just because hook but its one better songs off albums lyrics wise. IMO hook does not ruin it at all.

@bcooper21
Props. I actually think the hook is great, Skylar going "everybody knows you're just an asshole" in a bored monotone like "yeah, yeah, we get it" and Em attempting to ratchet up his asshole-ishness with each succeding verse.

The thing that holds the song back is the beat and the hook.
"There's darkness closing in, here it comes again
It controls my pen, that ain't me, it's my evil twin
(I step out and see my evil twin, he gives me an evil grin)
He's just a friend who pops up now and again
So don't blame me, blame him, my evil twin
(I step out and see my evil twin, he gives me an evil grin)"

I just don't think it works after "Legacy", that kinda ruins it for me

Beat is wack, hook is wack. Sad that he had to spit bars over such a shitty beat.

I like Em's lyrics and delivery on Asshole. I thought the beat and hook were meh. But yeah I think the song is underrated. That 3rd verse was pretty damn good between his flow, energy, and lyrics.

what? no it doesn't.
Notalius wrote:Beat is wack
how can you even say that? it's my favorite one on the album, those drums with the horns make it so big. sounds reminiscent of too much by tech and kutt.

I like the beat a lot too. A lot of people hate it juste because they know ADK produced it, some genuinely hate it and that's okay but I honestly like it.
