Eminem - Survival (DL-link in OP) ! Poll Added

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Is the 'Skylar Grey'/'Liz Rodriguez' debate still going? Do we not know for sure?

nope, we have no idea although I would say it's liz

It always sounds the same to me
And I'm not talking about this two artists, but all of them females who only do hooks lol

[Shuttle Destroyer]

It's Liz, it's been known for a while already. The hook doesn't even sound like Skylar.

Liz was on HTS, right?

Yes, she's on Echo

[rockbottom]

That alligator pit salivate at it rhyme is niiiice.

[SliK]

Dd he just say "straighter up"? Shit like that really pisses me off.

He could've said "make them bitches straighten up"...

[SliK]

"Straighten up" would rhyme though.

[EminemBase]

Two days of constant listening, shit is still dope AF.

That 'picture me failing' / draw a circle with a line through it line is ill too... has a kind of meta element to it like his 'volume' part on WBD... as you have to actually do it in your mind and then have a thought-pun of the visual lmao. And lmao! @ slut 14+ years of endless psychopathic mysoginy.

[cheeseburger]

^ He says "Picture me quittin" But whatever, I get your Point.

And that "slut" line is funny cause right after he goes on to say "now its survival of what??"
Which makes me think he refers to Liz as "slut" and ask her to get the chorus going lol

[cheeseburger]

Ooh and I love how the first verse starts. It makes you think "ooh no now its time for Em to complain again"
But then he flips it and starts to spit fire about how ill he is.

[Francesco]

And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough
To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?
They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath
I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter, I can adjust
Plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bust
So floor's open if you'd like to discuss

Awesome delivery

I agree...
The song is still fresh to me after so many listens too...

[Whitefox]

Okay, second day of listening. I was listening to only this song on the way to work. The same on my way to home. And I like the whole song. I like the beat, I like his flow, delivery, voice. There arent any negative sides for me in this song.

[SliK]

"Might of mistuck"

It's just lazy lyricism.

[M15HKA]

The only thing I did not like in the rhyming was the "Suck Seed" when he said succeed. Reminded me of that unintentionally gay hip hop lyrics thread.

[Raul]

I don't know if is a dumb point of view, but since Portuguese is my first language and the contact that I have with English is by music, movies and this forum, whenever I hear Em bending the language, pronunciating words differently and stuff like this, I find it extremely awesome and genius.

This should clear it up 100%

The female vocalist heard on “Survival” is Liz Rodrigues, who worked with Eminem on “Recovery,” his manager Paul Rosenberg confirmed.

Just like "spunned around" on Marshall Mathers (your 17th favorite Eminem song of all time) but since it's prime Eminem, it's ok.

Yep, that and "shoes, coat and your hat tooken" irritates me also.
