Groundhog Day

[Francesco]

It's easily my fave bonus track for me now... I don't count Don't front though 'cuz it wasn't on the deluxe album.

Song is so fucking raw. The progressive buildup to the switch in flow is awesome.

[Chet Starr]

Dope diggity song

[Kill You]

WHY DIDN'T THIS MAKE THE ALBUM?

I'm serious, I don't understand what went through Em's head to not include this but include shit like Asshole, The Monster and Stronger Than I Was.

its all about cohesion brah..
this track is so hypnotic, the beat and the flow is goat..

I like to think of the bonus disc not as "didn't make the cut" but more like he couldn't find the proper room on the album, but wanted the fans to hear it anyway. Only so much room for minutes and minutes of hard rapping tbh. If it wasn't for Rap God maybe that's where it would have been.

This too. That's why Ken appears at the end of Wicked Ways and not Evil Twin. The bonus disc is a part of the album imo. He just couldn't fit all those songs on one CD.

[Francesco]

Still my fave one outta the bonus tracks... it'd be timeless if the hooks was kinda different too.

yo, why he said "I'm rushing (or Russian) like a Ukrainian LaDainian Tomlinson" ? I'm from Ukraine and i don't see the logic

Ok I saw someone say this before (maybe you haha). What hook? The part at the end? Because other than that there are only like 5 words in between each verse.

I said Still exactly 'cuz I liked it & have said I like the most outta the bonus tracks from first listen...
The thing you called 5 words in between verse is the thing I was talking about... not that I don't like it or that it's bad or whatever... just that some dark classic Hip-Hop Em hook would have made that an absolute fucking gem.
I don't mind the part at the end to be honest... it fits perfectly for Outro IMO.

[yoda you can call me]

^I thought it sounded like a dog barking tbh

[Francesco]

You've given it so much praise I wasn't implying you were criticizing the song. I was genuinely curious what you meant when you said the 'hook'. I wasn't sure if you meant the outro or whatever. If your 'complaint' (hardly, but you know what I mean) is more a lack of a cool hook, then I see what you're saying. I thought it was like how Eedee thinks the Brainless hook pulls down the song for him. Seriously though I was listening last night with a friend, and I said "ok so somebody said they don't like the hook. What part would you think they're talking about?". So yeah haha
If there was some crazy dark hook it definitely would have been cool, but as is, there is something cool about how the beat is suspended only for a breath of air...and then drops back down and he continues to kill it.
Edit: Does anyone know what that chant is at the end? I have no idea what they say but something about it sounds really badass haha

To be honest I don't dislike the hook & definitely don't think it makes the song worse or whatever... It kinda is original too.
In general Em's rhymes on it are sharp & don't go up tempo as he's been doing often for the last few years so honestly for me personally if the hook was like louder & if the tempo was faster than the verses would be awesome.
It's still a very solid song overall anyway.

I just think it's a play off of the fact that they used to be the "same" territory within the soviet union (Not the "same" literally, but yeah). Or you could say LaDainian Tomlinson is a running back, running backs try to "rush" past the line (the line being the adjacent border that the ukraine and russia share).

1. They used to be one
2. running back "rushes"
3. rushed past the "line" or border to russia

Take your pick whatever makes most sense to you haha

thanks) I'll think about it

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

I think this is my favorite song on the album. When the 4th verse starts you almost get a high off his flow and his dominance. My personal favorite is when the beat kicks in with his flow at the "I'm
Bigger than Dikembe Mutumbo on the fucking Jumbotron" line.

[ShadeSlimy]

Like holy fuck. That flow, that beat Cardiak really surprised me here; usually his production for me is hit or miss. 10/10 track

[Emadyville]

Absolutely love his cockiness on this. The "sore losers" part is probably my fav at the moment.

that was amazing. that whole series that all tied together, perfect...

[Shpongle]

My favourite of the "Bonus Tracks", that beat

[Brainless BadGuy]

If I include the bonus album it's definitely in my top 5. The 3rd verse is my favourite from the whole of MMLP2
