Second verse on NORMAL is probably the best on the album

And I don’t know what's got a hold of me
Most notably I've been zonin' to Jodeci
I'm totally open, hopelessly devoted
So much so that I bet you she don't know that she's
The first thing I think of when I wake up
And the last thing I think of 'fore I go to sleep
Sike, hope she don't notice me goin' through her purse
I know she cheats, so do I, I'm soulless, she's heartless
No wonder we're partners
Both got hundreds of charges
Domestic disputes but we've always
Swept it under the carpet
Even when 911 gets the call that
I slipped up and busted her jaw with
A Louisville Slugger 'cause all's it
Really does is make our love
For each other grow stronger
She won me over the second she tried to run me over
Told her I'd keep it a hun', we over
Kicked her out, called her back, now she's coming over
But why is she so wicked?
And how the fukk did I get so twisted?
I'm with someone so unlikeable and shifty
We're like nitrogen and hydrogen mixed with
Ignitable liquids, but I'm finally seeing
She's only mine for the time being
That's why I keep bringin' up that one time she
Tried to two-time me
And throw it up in her face 'til I dry heave
How could I be so naive?
Should I leave or turn this entire evening
Into a motherfukking crime scene?

I swear that entire song is a metaphor about his current relationship with hip hop.

He would be better served fukking with one or two producers who aren't trying to 'keep up' with contemporary production.

He ain't ever going to sell like he used to, might as well get back in your natural pocket.

Step in the right direction but this still isn't what I really want from him. His strength as a rapper is his clarity and story telling which all but go out the window when he stays with the double time flow exclusively. That should be something he does here and there like he used to, it shouldn't be basis of his style because it does NOT display his best qualities. But he ain't got the natural rhythm to approach these some of these beats with some space between his words.

"I spit it slow so these kids know that I'm talking to 'em"

That's one of the biggest differences between Em in his prime and Em right now. His flow used to be smoother than peanut butter. He knew how to emphasize certain words and when to rap faster. For the most part, he sounded like he was talking directly to you, like the host of an educational kids show. Nowadays, he says way too much at one time and with his rapid-fire flow, everything gets lost.

and his mans Paul Rosenberg hit the about him dissing Drake.

This is what I'm talking about. Now he sounds like a cross between a stalker, a truck driver, and a deaf man.

 

[ArchStanton]

Not even close. I like listening to music that sounds good. This doesn't except for 3-4 songs. Also, why does Kendrick Lamar have a writing credit on this album?

He gave him a credit for the "Revival didn’t go viral" line. Eminem has always been generous with credits like that, I remember he gave Naughty a credit for the "do I sound like the chorus of Hip Hop Hooray, hey ho" line.

Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick got writers credits for Rap God off an adlib (6 minutes)

Not always the case because Em failed to give credit to the Hot Stylz on that same song for the "lookin' boy" stanza....

It's just weird to see a writer get credit for something that was borrowed
