Better song, 25 to Life or Underground

[xxTrigger1989xx]

Underground is the better song technically,i dont give a fuck if you can connect to the song,if you think the concept is weird and all,thats pure wrong,underground had a lot of subject matter going from the theme of telling a murder story and metaphorically talking about being drugged up,some great shock value vintage Eminem punchlines,rhyming is very impressive and the flow has that GOING IN feel.

just a better track,oh and trigger chill nikka why u care so much

I still don't think the lyrics make sense...and I'm not sure what makes this song better than 25 To Life...because like I said in my other posts, what I want in MY music is probably different from everyone else's. I want concepts, great content, decent rhymes (25 To Life's rhymes are at least decent/good), I don't care much for great rhymes that say absolutely nothing (I DO care for good/great rhymes, though...). I will argue that other tracks on Relapse tell a story, but I don't see much of one on Underground.

I don't care anymore, I said I was done arguing for it, no one seems to even really give a fuck about what I have to say about it anyway. And yes, I know that, even though I said I don't care, I responded. But I responded because my name was in your post. I did care, because 25 To Life is one of my favorite songs since his comeback, and all these people were saying it's a bad song, when it's not. Why can't I turn around and say the same for Underground (even though I've never called it a bad song, I'm just saying it's worse IMO than 25TL)? But I'm really just done arguing for 25 To Life's case after this post, because no one will hear it.

I know I've listened to 25 To life more....it is peculiar that it sounds like it is about the illuminiati....but who know

25 to life. Believe it or not, i liked the beat and the content is cool.

When Eminem sticks to a concept, he usually does it good.

Look at how I dress fucking baggy sweats, go to work a mess
Always in a rush to get back to you I ain't heard you yet
Not even once say you appreciate me I deserve respect

^ My favorite part. I get chills everytime i hear it, because it's true. Eminem use to be kinda .. not underrated, but still to this day, a lot of people won't admit he's one of the GOAT.

Underground by a wide margin. It's dope to hear him just spaz the fuck out with random lyrics once in awhile with no obvious storytelling ala Still Don't Give a Fuck, Low, Down, Dirty and Criminal.

+1

This is the motivated and hungry Em spitting fire - without the screaming - with a niiiice flow.

This was the Em I wanted more of when I heard Relapse the first time.

Underground is slightly better. I dislike both songs to be honest

25 To Life is without a doubt better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something

'Cause we all know that if a song is about something, it must be good.

Mockingbird is without a doubt better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something.
GOAT is better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something.
Puke is better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something.
Mosh is better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something.
The Apple is better than Underground, it's actually ABOUT something.

For me, and most people I suspect, it depends on mood. 25 to life has a few relatable lines but it's not the track you want to hear when you're drunk and chillin, that would be underground (and relapse in general). Of course, some people might just dislike one or the other.

But I'm gonna say its different tunes for different moods.

and half way through the song I already knew what he was talking about.

Oh no!!! You knew what he was talking about?!!! Talk about bad song... What was Em thinking, making a song which his fans knew what he was talking about...

glad u dont have a say in what he writes

[slimsoxshady]

my 3rd favorite Relapse song vs my 10-12th favorite Recovery song
pretty close but the overall "epic sound" gives Underground the edge for me

25 To Life > Underground

I need to connect with/to something in order for me to like it.
and that isn't just with music, that's with any/everything in my life.

Underground was a very close 2nd, tho.

[slimshadylappin]

Underground is the better song but I enjoy and like 25 To Life way better.

[NicoleEM]

Love Underground..the beat is just great..but i enjoy 25toLife more

[LordRain777]

I like underground, I really do. I even made a thread about how much I like it. But 25 to life is the clear victor here IMO. I prefer songs that are actually about something and that I can relate to over random shit that rhymes.

25 to Life.
