you cant compare apples to oranges

No. We can

i feel like on fire and underground would be a better comparison even though i def think on fire is better..... but i think em could do a way better job on underground now if he were to redo the song.... underground could be much better

Almost Famous no doubt.

i didnt ever get into the Underground chorus,
turns out recovery has him singin to.must have been a foreshadowing type deal.

It's not like comparing apples to oranges. It's oranges to oranges. Both tracks he's rapping as if he is an underground artist.

I just listened to Underground after a long period of not listening. Wow. It's like he's boxing that fucking beat. For what it is, it's a sick song.

finally someone that agrees with me. Underground is sick. and i don't get the concept that everyone is talking about in Almost Famous.

Underground and AF are absolutely nothing alike, wtf are ya'll talking about.

Underground isnt' "telling a story" lmfao, just because a few lines and relevant to the lines before it doesn't mean the entire song is a story telling song, like AF.

Underground was by far the best track on Relapse IMO, it was completely, 100% slim shady. Lyrical murder he displayed on that beat.

That being said, I still like AF better. Song is top 3 on Recovery IMO. "Low on the totem til' he showed em, defiance, giant scrotum" ...LOVE that line.

^They're both rapping as underground artists with stories (Em's drug problems and Em getting signed respectively) intertwined within the crazy lyrics.

You're full of it! You were just dissin his cd's, laughed at Infinite! Now he's back like someone pissed in his wheaties!

There is NO story in Underground. The song has a few references to drugs, but it is hardly about drugs. It's mot about killing people in weird ways.

And how is Eminem "rapping as an underground artist" in underground? Please don't tell me you think that because of the name....

He's rapping like fucking Eminem. That's the Eminem of the SSLP/MMLP days.

Erm, no. He's rapping like he's in the hip hop shop. Completely random fucking lyrics. Em in SSLP/MMLP was telling more stories, making more sense. In the Hip Hop Shop days, and in Underground, he was just rhyming words that rhymed - completely random.

And there is a slight story in there. See my post on the first page.
