Eminem and Sticky Fingaz' verse on "REMEMBER ME" appreciation thread

[Flav]

this song is like a "best of RBX" highlight reel

even the hook came from another RBX song that dissed Dr Dre...

 

[KushSkywalker]

Classic and it fukking bangs

This is why eminem needs to say fukk every producer and work strictly with dre beats

Dre giving em stripped down beats gives him room to flow quick and aggressive without sounding how he does now. Em does not need to be on all these busy pseudo rock beats or these anthem beats . He tried to outdo the beat and it just ends up sounding annoying and convoluted


Pay attention to the music he does with dre produced beats. They are very stripped down and em can hear he doesn't need to yell and if he does it fits because the beats give his vocals space for it.

word, props on this

I once read an interview with a Berkley grad who did keys for Dre.

He said the biggest thing he learned from Dre is that the absence of sound should be treated as part of the music.

That deciding where to leave space was his biggest influence

 

[Izanami]

REMEMBER ME!!!!!.............SLIM SHADY


Def was a perfect transition into I'm Back.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

no love for RBX

3 fire verses on there

 

[mr. smoke weed]

great song

crazy if you look back when this album came out (Summer 99 ish? Possibly 00? and what the climate of hip hop was it feels like much longer than just 15 years ago

 

[raoulduke187]

they all killed it

 

[YourMajesty]

Sick, sick dreams of picnic scenes
Two kids, sixteen with M-16's and ten clips each
And them shyts reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets

That part right there to me is what makes Em verse the best on that song. shyt was nasty

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

That part right there to me is what makes Em verse the best on that song. shyt was nasty

the sticky fingaz "My name should be i can't belive a nygga SAID THAT SHYT" is better to me

 

[luckyse7enz]

This is one of those songs where the best verse depends on how you're feeling at the time because Em & Sticky. Can you imagine being the engineer and having them in the studio when they're recording those verses?

The "Better come better than better" scheme from Sticky and the "Want beef?! nikka, Pff!! Better dead that shyt!" part....

...then Em comes in and drops the "When I go out" and the "Picnic scenes" sequence....

Most underrated part though:

"REMEMBER MEEEEE (SLIM SHADYY!) -> "That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back), I'm back (I'm back)....."

 

[the rhyme king]

My baby's mom, bytch made me an angry blonde
So I made me a song, killed her and put Hailie on
I may be wrong, I keep thinkin these crazy thoughts
in my cranium, but I'm stuck with a crazy mom
("Is she really on as much dope as you say she's on?")
Came home, and somebody musta broke in the back window
and stole two loaded machine guns and both of my trenchcoats

eminem >>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Leavingtheecstasy]

Eminem really did kill everything on this song. But sticky came out of nowhere and dropped a masterpiece

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

NICCA BACDAFUCUP

 

[darryl]

No he didn't.

Nikka shut up

 

[Sccit]

THE POLL ASKS WHO WAS MOST IMPORTANT ON THAT SONG

AND IT WAS CLEARLY RBX

AS THE ENTIRE CONCEPT COMES FROM AN EARLIER RBX SONG

+ RBX KILLED HIS VERSE

U COULD ARGUE STICKY N EM HAD BETTER VERSES BUT THE WHOLE SONG IS CRAFTED AROUND RBX
