Great "Above the Law" Hook...

Postby EminemBase » Jun 7th, '11, 01:09

Lyrically, and in how it's delivered.

Sometimes life seems so unfortunate, that's why I don't give a shit
the poor stay poor, the rich get richer
It's just so disproportionate
You don't know just what I go through, that's why I would rather show you...
Just how far that I can take it, every rule - I'm breaking it


I really like the voice of whoever that woman is singing it. And it's very alike Liz who sings on "Almost Famous". Lmao, 'Liz' like we're on first name terms.

I do remember somebody mentioning the name of the slut on this chorus but can't remember it and too lazy to look back. It's a really well written hook too though. Both in what it's saying and how it's structured, and the fact it's not repeating a typical one-liner or 'chant', it's like a half-sung statement but. It's so good.

I presume whoever wrote that also wrote the "Almost Famous" hook as it seems the same kind of writing, the kind of generic (and I don't mean that insultingly), slightly poetic, personal and political touches in the writing. Again, was Liz and that Canadian cunt right? (not left). Anyway, great fucking hook. And great fucking song.

Favourite song on the EP.

That beat, that hook, how can people wonder why Em didn't rap all smooth? It demanded energy.

:confusion:

Did I miss something? Or is this just the way you refer to women? :shakehead:

Anyway, aside from me being confused, I agree with you. GREAT fucking hook. The singer has a bit of a raspy voice (in a good unique way).. We work with an artist named Mixi who has a similar voice.

Good Stuff. Two thumbs up. :y: :y:

I was joking.

We're on an Eminem forum, I thought it'd be quite obvious lol. And was going to put a wink but, winks can ruin things. ;)

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.

Haha you made me laugh :y:

Yep, it's a pretty nice hook, one of the best on the album for sure, but i'd still prefer Take From Me over this

Actually, I will say that "Best Hook" in my opinion is ties between Above The Law and The Reunion. :worship:
