Em’s flow on Stepping Stone sounds like his Eminem era flow, even the production sounds similar to stuff he was making at that time. If not for the references to Proof dying I would’ve thought he dropped that in 02.
Not Alike is my favorite song on here and the best Em song I’ve heard in years. Royce absolutely floats on that shyt, just a perfect balance of a smooth delivery while still remaining lyrical. And Em’s verse is incredible when you consider the fact that it’s both a subliminal and full on diss track to MGK
Other favorites are Lucky You and Fall. Venom and Nice Guy/Bad Guy stop this album from being great for me. after a few listens I’m ready to say it’s his best since the Eminem Show. Nice comeback
