Em's "Living Proof" Verse (1st)

Postby EminemBase » Jan 3rd, '11, 18:55

...is fucking awesome.

Not that it always hasn't been but whenever I'm on the song I can't stop rewinding it.

I especially love the 'one trick pony' line, because it's not an aimless pun, it has a structure and is relevant to his attitude. And I fucking love the extreme yelling on "I'LL BE SCREAMING ON THESE WHORES TILL I'M HOARSE" lmao, it's so insanely loud, class.

Royce definitely brings out the best in him, that verse, and that line in particular really capture the spirit of his vintage anger / character more than almost anything he's said recently. Because it's self-aware and slightly self-deprecating, acknowledging a perception about himself and ironically emphasizing it, that's the shit I miss.

His 2nd verse is good too, but the 1st verse is class.

Nobody asked for life to deal us,

Isn't T.I supposed to be on the full version?

Damn, can't wait :smoking:
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Yes, I completely agree. His first verse was amazing. If he has to stick to this aggressive style he's had lately, I'd rather it be executed like this than in his other collabs

Makes me look forward to the possible Bad Meets Evil album/EP

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

Props to randomgirl for the sig.

Users should not be able to say "should be in chit chat"; let the modo do their thing.

Damn, can't wait :smoking:

That's "Echo", because Em says at the end "I ain't even put my tip in that ho yet/I'mma go get TIP and try to rip it wider."

Agreed. This is one of my favourite post-recovery verses. Love the opening lines. I think he used these features to experiment - actually I think on his next album he will mix it up again - but I can't think what he is gonna do. Maybe that's why he's the millionaire.
