"Hailie's Song" is brilliant, and so is "Space Bound".

As for 'beloved' Em songs I never cared for, one in particular is "Like Toy Soldiers" for me.

So many people on here seem to love that song but I just can't stand it. I've literally listened to it once, and that was when Recovery leaked. I have not gone back to it since, I hated it that much. I mean I listened to even Love The Way You Lie more than fucking once lmao.

The singing is cringeworthy, the beat doesn't fit in the slightest; but what really bothers me is just the fact that he shoved loads of shitty punchlines into a song that is supposed to be a tribute to his best friend. If anything the song seems to be mostly self-centered around himself, since he talks about getting his spark back and all this shit. It's like c'mon man. I just thought it was an awful tribute. Honestly. Difficult is so so so SO much better.


I agree with some of this. Firstly, the beat is a pile of shit, getting Just Blaze to produce a tribute track was a huge mistake. Should of done it himself. Also, the punchlines are stupid and putting them in a song like that is a mistake, and yeah it's definitely self-centered and misguided to a degree.

Although I can see he was trying to fit it in with Recovery and the whole 'triumph' ballpark in saying that Proof believed in him and inspires him etc.

The saving grace to "You're Never Over" is the second verse. But yeah, "Difficult" is definitely better and I think a fitting tribute. The dark piano beat is brilliant and he sounds genuinely wounded and fucked-up which make it very realistic and resonant. And the line where he acts like he can't finish it is brilliant, and so is the fact there's no hook the way it is.

Also, in the first "Difficult" verse when he goes "your presence... oh, I went to drop some presents off" is very good. That's great writing to write as if... as if the word reminded him of that fact like it's his genuine on the spot thoughts. Make it feel like a real, live pouring of thoughts. "Difficult" is definitely a fitting tribute. Such a waste.

Oh, and when he says "I still have to get you back for that shit" like Proof is everlasting in his mind and he's having a jokey conversation with him over old stories. And the analogy of such a little detailed moment etc. it's really good and effective. And the line "difficult as it sounds" and just letting the moment settle like that... this song really highlights how he's a poet of his personal feelings. So many people would find a way of hashing their thoughts and making them pretentious or false in some way, he's such a natural.

Basically your saying Difficult is a masterpiece.

Agreed, but you gotta understand he would never release that...

"Kim" for me also - not because I think it is a piece of shit song (I don't) but because it has no replay value for me. I literally listened to it the day I bought the album and never again.

I think you just wanted to say that this song sucked because alot of people dislike it.


I wanted to say the song sucked for the reasons I listed and because I don't like it.

If you think I, who posts ponies all over the forum and doesn't give two shits, is bothered about siding with the "most popular" opinion on the forum then you are very wrong. As a matter of fact, as far as I know, a fair amount of people on this forum do indeed like the song. But oh no, I suppose that means i'm obsessed with being "cool" by stating the opinion that the majority don't agree with! Damn.

Like Toy Soldiers

Mediocre, in my completely honest opinion.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Never cared for Sing for the Moment to be honest. It was really dope at first, partially because I adored Dream On, but it got somewhat boring after a while.
